Project summary

The NAE collective begins its artistic journey with an issue that surpasses every artistic discipline and the world in which the artists create: the alienation of a contemporary man from nature, inspired by the fact that an average person in today’s world lives without a sense of the broader natural processes on which they depend. NAE ensemble creates a multidisciplinary art form “Nature Amplified” using a co-creative artistic approach of five experimental artists who work in music, visual arts and new media. In partnership with an emerging Festival of New Sound and renowned festivals Music Biennale Zagreb and KotorArt, they aim to broaden the outreach of their artistic visions of amplified nature, as well as the creative potential of this newly formed, experimental collective.

Merčep, a percussionist, showcases new Croatian compositions and international performances, with a focus on electronic music.
