MARIO BATKOVIC between dissolution and new beginnings

52m
The accordion like you've never heard it before. His mission is to explore the full sonic potential of his instrument, to dust off the traditional image of it and to take his piano with suspenders towards original technical constructions, unheard of in the true sense of the term.
Mixing classical and contemporary sound, Mario Batkovic seeks to explore the sonic possibilities of the accordion, without effects or loops, rather through a mutualist symbiotic relationship between man and instrument. Challenging, hypnotic and grandiose; Batkovic's symphonic vision is unique and he has received widespread critical acclaim, including Rolling Stone magazine who voted his self-titled debut album in the TOP 10 ‘BEST AVANT ALBUMS OF 2017’.
Cast: Mario Batkovic (Accordion)
