Bojana Šaljić-Podešva (1978- )
Bojana
Šaljić Podešva was born in Maribor, Slovenia. She completed her
study of composition in the class of Marko Mihevc at the Academy of
Music in Ljubljana. She attended a postgraduate study of
electroacoustic composition in the class of Dieter Kaufmann at the
University of Music and the Performing arts in Vienna (Universität für
Musik und Darstellende Kunst Wien), where she also studied with Bruno
Liberda and Wolfgang Mitterer. She took further courses with Richard
Boulanger as well as with Françoise Barrière at IMEB. Her basic
means of expression is electroacoustic music, meaning fixed-recorded 2-
or more channel compositions, as well as the real-time treatment of
instrumental or vocal sound and music installation. She presented her
achievements in this field on the CD ‘Welcome to the Dooshaland’.
Another important domain of her work is represented by music in
relation to contemporary visual and performing arts, which led her into
collaboration with artists from different fields, among them Silvan
Omerzu, Miran Zupanič, Boštjan Bugarič, Ann Adamović, Ulrich Kaufmann,
and Marko Cafnik. Her works were performed in Slovenia, Austria,
France, Canada, Germany, Croatia, Great Britain, Switzerland, and
elsewhere. She has won several Slovene composition prizes for concert
works, scene and film music (e.g. the Vesna award for the Children from
Petriček hill soundtrack), as well as the 2nd prize at the
International Gustav Mahler Composition Competition of the City of
Klagenfurt (Austria) in 1998. In 2004 she presented her works at both
the International Rostrum of Composers (IRC) and the International
Rostrum of Electroacoustic Music (IREM), and won an UNESCO-Aschberg
residence bursary for staying at the International Institute for
Electroacoustic Music of Bourges (IMEB, France). She was also selected
for Participation at the International Academy for New Composition
and Audio-Art “Avantgarde Tyrol 2005” (Austria), receiving a grant by
the association 'KulturKontakt Austria'. In 2005 her electroacoustic
work Welcome to the Dooshaland
was awarded mention in the Trivium section of the 32nd International
Competition of Electroacoustic Music and Sonic Art in Bourges, France.
She lives and composes in Ajdovščina, Slovenia.COMPOSITIONS Šaljić-Podešva Links ~ ~ ~ Works by Genre ~ ~ ~ Šaljić-Podešva on Šaljić-Podešva
