Nenad Sinkauz (HR) works as a composer and performer in musical, theatrical, contemporary dance, film, and multimedia projects. He obtained his master's degree in ethnomusicology in Padua, and in his artistic work, he explores unconventional musical forms and expressions. He is also oriented towards exploring improvised music, and his musical roots stem from the underground punk and metal scene of the 1990s. Through performance and composition, which are closely connected in his work, he is interested in the dialogue between acoustic and electronic instruments, the hybridity of combining musical and theatrical principles in performance as a research orientation for new performance formats. Sinkauz has been actively performing in Croatia and abroad for two decades and composes music for film and theater. He has won four Golden Arenas at the Pula Film Festival for film music. In 2002, he founded the band East Rodeo, collaborating with a number of international jazz and rock musicians, blending avant-rock, live electronics, noise, experimental, and improvised music. Sinkauz is the author and performer in the acclaimed audiovisual project ...day of the year and the co-founder of the international festival of experimental and improvised music, Audioart in Pula. Currently, apart from guest appearances with the multidisciplinary project Aphasia by director Jelena Jureša, he is involved in the experimental band Roj Osa and the improvisational big band CRI Orchestra (both under his own label Kopaton Records), the multimedia project Sicomat, and the band Truth ≠ Tribe, which blends contemporary club music, African and Balkan rhythms with the energy of progressive rock.
