DJ set

The curator of the Listening room of Croatian music is Višeslav Laboš, who created the installation A-plausible for the 31st MBZ. 

Višeslav Laboš (Zagreb, 1978) graduated in sound design (Academy of Dramatic Arts, Zagreb) and journalism (Faculty of Political Sciences, Zagreb). An investigative journalist and music critic, he spent five years as a radio editor at Radio Student. Since the mid-1990s, he has appeared as a DJ, live-act or instrumentalist at contemporary music festivals and clubs in Croatia and abroad. He is the author of music and/or sound designer for some twenty theatrical and dance performances, experimental performances, sound installations, TV indents and jingles, and more than 40 short films produced locally or internationally. He has participated in thirty or so music albums as a composer, performer, producer, sound engineer, mastering engineer and/or music editor. He is the author of the compilation In Search of a New Sound 1956-1984 – Anthology of Electroacoustic Music by Croatian Composers (2016). 

“Laboš is mainly interested in hybrid musical expressions, those between popular disco culture and experiments on the gramophone. Sometimes they are well-known hits, and sometimes he delves deeply into the essence of a genre that interests him, often leaving on untrodden paths of the author’s micro-structures, using noise and crackling of gramophone records as a rhythm base.” (Petar Milat – Explicit Music).
