Dejan Ilijic:
Piano landscapes meet electronic, jazz, balkans.
|
Dejan Ilijić and his music share the same birth-date - they were born together,
have grown together, and they coexist living in a very intricate union.
Serbian writer Danilo Kiš erased many of the differences between his life and
his work, and he insisted on the unity of the two. Dejan shows similar
intentions. The musical background of his family, involvement in the magic since
his earliest age, talent and interests to develop that gift, are more than just
commonplace biographical data.
Today he lives in Niš, the major city in Eastern Serbia: he is a classically
trained musician who has made attempts at different forms and styles of music,
and he has explored them both in the bands he was a member of or as a solo
artist.
There are some constant points, however, throughout his spiritual
biography which remain despite everything: his fondness of classical music,
jazz, and intricate rhythmic patterns typical of the Balkans (he was born in
Macedonia, one of the cradles of such music), as well as his ability to blend
the past and the present without visible stitches, may be said to be his
trademark.
These qualifications are far from even giving a
hint of description of his work. His creative persona is still emerging and
maturing, in a process which is never-ending, as is typical with true
artists. His expression is likely to become even more articulate, given his
dedication to his cause.
All you have to do is put your trust in his hands.
