Some of the group’s wide array of influences include artists like Maria Schneider, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix and Aphex Twin. After releasing two singles (ZenneZ Records) and competing at the finals of the Dutch Jazz Competition and the Keep An Eye Jazz Award, the Ante Medić Octet is preparing the release of their debut album.

At its core, the band's composer draws his main inspiration from the collective sonic qualities of the ensemble's instruments and the emotive essence of each performer. By merging the warm and dreamy tones of a Fender Rhodes and electric guitar with a heavy rhythm section and two alto saxophones, the goal is to create complex but beautiful musical textures that harmoniously coexist. The focus lies in composing musical material that pushes the boundaries of each band member, placing them outside their comfort zones while maintaining a connection to their musical roots and well known framework. With the strength of a Giant yet the gentleness of a sweet Tiny creature, we are Tiny Giant.

The band’s artistic approach has jazz language and improvisation at its core, while also welcoming other influences such as Electronic music, Afro-Caribbean music &amp; Rock. Dreamy soundscapes, energetic grooves, rhythmic cycles, exciting interplay, and uplifting vibes often characterize our music. During our creative sessions, we participate in a collaborative discussion and elaboration of ideas, which leads us organically to create unique compositions. The goal of our co-creative process is to stimulate creativity by engaging the collective mind. In our laboratory, ideas get composed, decomposed and recomposed, with a touch of each of the band members’ imaginations. The result is a collective work that is free from the limitations that we face as individuals.&nbsp; MUSIC CONTACT ︎ 3xmedic@gmail.com ︎ +31616053906 VIDEO MEMBERS Ante Medić // guitar Azubike Onwuka // bass guitar Diego Miranda // drums Ante<img width="3750" height="5000" width_o="3750" height_o="5000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5850165dd7ddd8dee056b6943300b014b3979d49383cb519f231c9eb377d731d/Ante-Medic-HIRES-IVO-036.jpg" data-mid="203964451" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5850165dd7ddd8dee056b6943300b014b3979d49383cb519f231c9eb377d731d/Ante-Medic-HIRES-IVO-036.jpg" /> Azubike<img width="3750" height="5000" width_o="3750" height_o="5000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ce02f6a322e899fd29d22fa67d55bea6589c4f38a604a1eab43040725cc51cc6/Ante-Medic-HIRES-IVO-032.jpg" data-mid="203964449" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ce02f6a322e899fd29d22fa67d55bea6589c4f38a604a1eab43040725cc51cc6/Ante-Medic-HIRES-IVO-032.jpg" /> Diego<img width="3750" height="5000" width_o="3750" height_o="5000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5a7429b0a55676f8d9eaf88d366c9a4eeca8c6bd74300060fecc0a2e55d69e58/Ante-Medic-HIRES-IVO-035.jpg" data-mid="203964450" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5a7429b0a55676f8d9eaf88d366c9a4eeca8c6bd74300060fecc0a2e55d69e58/Ante-Medic-HIRES-IVO-035.jpg" /> photos © Ivo van der Bent https://antemedic.cargo.site/Ante-about Mon, 28 Mar 2022 21:47:07 +0000 Ante Medic https://antemedic.cargo.site/Ante-about Ante Medić <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/253e607a99bef4d4af6674535d0f4d2920745e1b3899385edfe851394bae9cf8/MO7.jpg" data-mid="137845412" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/253e607a99bef4d4af6674535d0f4d2920745e1b3899385edfe851394bae9cf8/MO7.jpg" /> photo © Emil Varga Ante Medić (b. 1995) is a composer and guitarist based in Amsterdam (NL).

Among my direct influences are Maria Schneider, Woody Shaw, Frank Zappa, Bela Bartok, Sonic Youth, and Aphex Twin, whose innovative approaches to composition and performance have pushed the boundaries of what is possible in music and inspired me to do the same.

As the composer and arranger of this ensemble, I draw my inspiration from a vast spectrum of musical genres, ranging from the works of Maria Schneider to Sonic Youth and Steve Reich, while also infusing my own creative vision. My intention is to combine existing jazz idioms with a variety of musical styles that transcend the boundaries of traditional jazz thinking and cannot be confined to a single genre. With this group, we aim to create music that speaks to the heart and the mind, connecting with listeners on an emotional level and leaving a lasting impact.

The band came together in early 2022 to breathe life into the ideas from Marta’s master research on incorporating elements of progressive metal into jazz. Rhythmical complexities started to intertwine with catchy harmonies and Marta, being a fan of Franz Kafka’s, saw an analogy to the skilful mixture of darkness and absurd in his writing. It seemed only fitting to have the band named after the main character of Kafka’s iconic novel “The Trial.” Josef Kowalsky is a 5-piece band featuring alto saxophone, guitar, piano, bass and drums. Their music is characterised by an abundance of odd and changing metres, but with great emphasis on strong melodies and groove, which makes the music approachable despite its complexity. The band has just recorded their debut EP which will come out in Autumn 2023. Year: 2022 -- Members: Michael MurrayAnte Medić Jorge Fernández Marta Golka Diego Miranda &nbsp;TivoliVredenburg: Jazz Rookies With this project I am exploring the interconnection between jazz and the music of my youth: punk, rhythm-and-blues, pop and many other genres. I am very much drawn to the boundaries of jazz as an art form. How can I use different musical elements from the pop world, in the broadest sense of the word, in a "jazz setting"? How far can I stylistically step out of the "jazz framework" as a jazz musician without completely abandoning it? I would like to go back to the music I grew up with and give it a clear place in my own work.

This cataclysmic event, in turn, sent a chunk of the Earth into space, which eventually became the moon, but it also created something else... It created THE EARGONAUT, the funkiest cosmic body in our galaxy. Now, millennia later, The Eargonauts, the inhabitants of the Eargonaut (the oddly ear-shaped planetoid), drift together in the void of space attuned to the frequencies of the cosmos. These sonic sorcerers beam their interstellar melodies of contemporary jazz masterfully mixed with a wide range of genres down to Earth as a gift for all. Feel the gravity of their groove. They are the Eargonauts, and they come in peace.”&nbsp; - Chris Wallace Eargonauts was a contemporary jazz project led by guitarist and composer Ante Medic and drummer Domen Cizej. &nbsp; Years active:&nbsp;2018 - 2020 Notable performances: UJazz Festival - TivoliVredenburg, 2018 Kamfest (SLO), 2018 Crossover Festival (CRO), 2018 Gallus Hall, Cankarjev Dom (SLO) 2019 Jazz Club, Ljubljana Castle (SLO), 2019 Appearance on NPO 2 Soul &amp; Jazz Co Live! radioshow, 2019 Releases: Self released EP Eargonauts, 2019 Members: Ante Medić Albert Kerekeš Domen Cizej Dean Montanaro ︎ Eargonauts Bandcamp Shanzhai Sonata “Shanzhai sonata is a research turned into film about data driven technologies. In particular, machine learning prediction algorithms and their prospective impact on the environmental and human scales. It depicts an imminent future where such services become integrated into the post-work economy in response to automation. Through a deliberately meta cinematic language, the benefits and the hazards, always in a tango, lead the audience along the line of what is and what might be. The lead role of the speculative ‘might be’ is played by Presense, a new machine learning platform. The research began at Strelka Institute of Media, Architecture and Design and was originally developed by Igor Sladoljev, Gleb Papyshev, Sveta Gorlatova and Artem Nikitin in 2019 under the title Presense and presented at Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture the same year.” - Igor Sladoljev The soundtrack is written by Ante Medić.

After playing together for many years in various jazz projects and collaborations, the desire arose to create a group with no stylistic boundaries in which both musical and improvisational freedom could thrive with set rules.&nbsp;We composed material as precise as classical music scores, combined with the concept of open and intuitive improvisation. The cooperation eventually gave birth to years of performing and the Himarck EP, released on Zennez Records. With this band we aimed for a group sound characterized by organic interplay between piano and electric guitar and the acoustic reverberant quality of ECM’s catalogue, combined with the constant search for more raw edge fusion-like timbres.

All music was written by the entire group of participating artists. The idea behind the group was to bring together different musicians from different backgrounds (classical / pop / jazz / metal) and compose the musical pieces in real time through extended improvisational playing sessions. Our vision was a back to the garage kind of approach: Plumbus V aimed to escape the very structured, complicated and at times predictable world of jazz and classical music, and go back to where most of us started playing music: jamming in the garage.
