In Gordan, Spajic, Stecher, and Möbius explore the strengths and sensitivities between their respective musical domains, engaging in a constant dialogue between sound and noise, blending traditional Balkan singing with hypnotic drum beats, rich feedback experiments, and cool minimalism.

Svetlana Spajic is internationally known for her rare ability to master all the complex local style variations of Balkan music. She has collaborated with prominent figures such as Marina Abramović, Anohni, William Basinski, Willem Dafoe, and others. Guido Möbius creates feedback with bass, electronic sound generators, and effects, which he distorts or enhances through guitar amps and microphones in shifting counterplay and harmony with Spajic’s vocals. The noisy and dynamic body of sound is propelled forward and fragmented by Andi Stecher’s nuanced drum and percussion playing.

In other words, Gordan creates a sound that has rarely been heard before but is utterly captivating. They first demonstrated this on their excellent collaborative album on Berlin-based Morphine Records, “Down in the Meadow” (2021). Now, Gordan is ready with their second self-titled album, set to be released on iconic Glitterbeat Records in May. Gordan delivered an unforgettable concert presented by ALICE in 2021, and now they are finally returning during the summer Copenhagen Jazz Festival.
