Dear friends,

The fifth edition of the experimental sound event Gibanja has anchored itself in the springtime slot, at KONTEJNER's address at Odranska 1/1. With the exception of the opening performance — a light and sound performance by Martin Messier to be held in the big hall of Pogon Jedinstvo — the Gibanja program will take place at KONTEJNER from May 19 to 22.

Ahead of us is a series of exciting concerts offering somewhat different listening experiences, with this year’s special focus on tendencies within the Croatian music scene. Local musicians are preparing several premieres: Hrvoje Pelicarić will premiere an electronic spatial-sound composition; Andro Giunio is preparing a new performance exploring the relationship between the flute and the human voice; the Afro-Balkan experimental band Truth ≠ Tribe is currently finishing new material in the studio; and Toni Meštrović will present a new work based on Resonance of Sound from the first Gibanja, while also bringing to KONTEJNER the sound of the Split Multimedia Cultural Centre amphitheater. A new name on the sound scene, young artist Marija Mratinić, will perform a sound piece created in 2023 as her graduation project at the ArtsAcademy in Split. Meanwhile, an established figure of the experimental music scene, Ivona Eterović aka tonota, is preparing an improvisational set that, through guitar and electronics, will convey her take on clubbing with atypical rhythms and danceable grooves, thus closing this year’s Gibanja.

International guests will present recent works to the Zagreb audience, fresh from stages of major global music festivals: following performances at MUTEK in Montreal, Rewire Festival in the Netherlands, L.E.V. Festival in Spain, and others, this year’s Gibanja at Pogon Jedinstvo will feature Canadian artist Martin Messier’s latest work 1 drop 1000 years. From European stages and festivals, we also welcome Aho Ssan and KMRU, now essential names in the experimental music scene, whose powerful and intense performance at last year’s PRÉSENCES Électronique in Paris was remembered as one of the highlights. Also joining us is the unique vocalist Ute Wassermann, fresh from an outstanding performance at Berlin’s MaerzMusik. Besides her solo concert at Gibanja, she will lead a three-day vocal workshop for local musicians. Armand Lesecq will present a film for closed eyes accompanied by spatial sound, developed at the ArtScience Interfaculty in The Hague, while Sergej Vutuc is preparing an audiovisual performance using 16mm projectors. Maja Osojnik and Ursula Winterauer return to Gibanja with a new project, The Answer Is No, in which both artists employ the same instrumental setup — voice, electric bass, and electronics — expanding and deconstructing the sonic possibilities of their instruments.

We hope that this year’s Gibanja will once again inspire different ways of listening, bring new auditory experiences, expand our perception of music, and become a place of gathering and exchange — a shared moment dedicated to sound.

Welcome to KONTEJNER — enjoy the space of experimental sound!
