Artist History
Cultural association AMBROSIA was the only multimedia organisation that have been active in the field of so called ‘off-culture” in Sarajevo in the period from 95 to 97. It was the reason to have its three-day presentation in Ljubljana, Slovenia in February 97.Its music division, called AMBROSIA AVANT-GARDE MUSIC by that time, prepared for that occasion concert material that represented diverse musical interests of its members: Techno-Progressive, Electro-Body, Industry, Avant-garde Jazz, Ghotic.A concert was announced under the name AAM. The band performed in the “K4” club in Ljubljana for the first time in February 97. The concert was supplemented by an art-performance made by Ambrosia’s division THEATRUM IN SPE.After the performance in Ljubljana AMBROSIA decided to continue work on this material. Abbreviation “AAM” became the name of the band and the musical division was renamed in AMBROSIA MUSICA.New performances followed in Tabor, Czech Republic and Ptuj, Slovenia (97), Utrecht, Holland (98), and Frankfurt and Berlin, Germany (99). During three years of the work on the material it became completely shaped in terms of style and dynamics. Now it is available on a CD under the name “AAM”, produced and issued by C.A. AMBROSIA.Promotion of CD “AAM” took place in the club “Channel Zero” in Ljubljana, Slovenia, April 2000. The tradition of multimedia performance has been kept; beside the musical part there is an art-performance. The central place in the art-performance according to the “philosophy” of the whole project is given to the technologized human body that creates mathematically precise, dehumanized, functional and simultaneously meaningless movements.The next promotion took place in the book store “BuyBook” in Sarajevo and after that in the open air in Pula, Croatia, August 2000 during Media Mediterranea II & Balkan Black Box Festival. Three tracks from this CD (High intensity, Your and What We Have To Do) were taken as a soundtrack for a documentary movie “Living With Danger”, produced by NORWEGIAN PEOPLE’S AID, Oslo by the end of August 2000.Now, the band is preparing its new CD, EP “Mad Tendencies”. It is hard to determine the AAM’s genre and sound precisely. It is a fusion of different electronic genres. Basically, it is techno-progressive music combined with breakbeat, big beat, drum’n’bass, electronic body and unavoidable Rap. Though some of the influences from the beginning were kept, which are visible in the tracks made by that time.To conclude: it is about strong, ultimate urban sound dominated by deep basses, acid sounds, lead synths and distorted guitar in the whole dynamic specter. Besides, dynamic turns and samples from different styles make this music extremely interesting; the one that makes you listen and dance.Similarly to music, songs on the CD are devoid of pathetic narrative. They “speak” about “a play of difference”, about virtual reality of urban being. They are short, concise, without any visible point and ironically engaged. Complete artistic impression of the CD “AAM” is given by its visual look: design follows internal poetics of musical and textual parts as well as contemporary graphics expression. |
