To whom it may concern:

Currently I am preparing a series of 4 concerts/performances and eventually 
sound installations which will accompany an exhibition on contemporary art 
of the Balkan, curated by  Harry Szeemann (former Biennale di Venezia 
director). This show entitled "Blut und Honig" ("Blood and Honey") will be 
presented between May 15th - Sep 28th, 2003 at the Sammlung Essl in 
Klosterneuburg/Vienna:

I am searching musicians and composers from the Balkan who are engaged with 
electronic music, (interactive) sound installations and live performances 
and who have to capability to perform their works themselves (--- persons 
acting as composer/performer).

"Balkan" here refers to the following countries: Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, 
Bosnia-Hercegovina, Macedonia (and all other parts of former Yugoslavia), 
Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Turkey.

I am mostly interested in individuals or groups which are reflecting their 
socio-cultural heritage into an contemporary language using electronic 
media with/out acoustical instruments (preferably those instruments which 
are also used in folk music, but without just reproducing it).

Cheers,
