kӣr is the solo production epithet of Bane Jovančević, resident live artist and program manager of the Drugstore Beograd club. By combining traditional and experimental influences in electro-acoustic music, kӣr creates a sound in which drone-navigated post-industrial logos transforms into a tribal mythos, in search of the traces of the future. The clash of synths and acoustics invokes an audio landscape of Byzantine sacral traditions and Balkan folklore rhythms. kӣr’s symbolic language layers up with an ancient temporality and its logic of being that is not of the past but of our own time. The basic concept is to challenge conventional and predominant rhythmic structures in music by juxtaposing traditional rhythms with contemporary electronic sound design.
