Delays Choir, a sound performance focused on repetitive interpretation of audio symbols. It involves multiple performers which manipulate one audio recording through audio effects (delays, echoes) creating their own individual "memory" of the given symbol and forming a "collective memory" through the collaboration. Symbols are created through vibrations and comprise of noise. The goal is to create harmonious vibrations through manipulations – to form a tone. A composition forms from these tones made through the changes of the sound frequencies, their repetition and modulation. Delays Choir are six performers, each of them having one audio effect – delay. The given audio signal reproduced and split into six channels enters at the same time each of the devices where it is being repeated, modulated, amplified and quieted. Marked by the sound features of the specific device, each delay becomes individual, together with its performer. A group of these individuals make the Choir. Delays Choir are: Jasmin Dasović, Igor Ivanković, Ognjen Zečević, Jadranko Kereković, Robert Martinović and Andrija Santro.

Andrija Santro (Zabok, 1989), graduated from the School for Applied Arts and Design in Zagreb in 2008. In 1998 he started taking piano lessons at a musical school, a firm basis for his future artistic work. He began researching in the field of sound synthesis in 2004, when he replaced the piano with sound synthesizer, computer, sound effects and other tools for musical production. From 2008 on he joined various musical collectives and started the Yoghurt Gallery with a few colleagues in the Autonomous Cultural Centre – Attack!, transforming it later on into the art project Antibiotic during which he presented over ten artworks (installations, video, performance). He played over 150 concerts with different bands and collectives (Bamwise, Pridjevi, I-tal Jam, Digitron) and participated in numerous group improvisations (CUL-de-SAC - Accelerated Evolution Orchestra, Nomad Jam, etc.). Together with other performers he created sound for the animated movie Protoplazma and music for documentary film Ana Trg. Since 2010 he is investigating light design and improving his knowledge in this field through non-formal education. He set light to more than 20 theatre shows and performances, and numerous concerts and festivals.
