SUSPENDED MOTION: Music of Igor Karača

Igor Karača (Sarajevo, 1974) is a Bosnian-American composer and pianist of classical and jazz music. Most of Karača’s work has been for chamber ensembles and electronic media. He employs a wide variety of techniques, ranging from controlled aleatoric, avant-jazz inspired textures, to more traditional, neoclassical style; he usually aims to make his work accessible to a relatively large audience. After taking private music lessons, Karača studied music at the Academy of Music in Sarajevo under Josip Magdić and Anđelka Bego- Šimunić. He graduated in 1996 with a BM in music composition, and has since been a guest at different masterclasses in Europe, working with Bogusław Schaeffer, Klaus Huber, Helmut Lachenmann, Marc- André Dalbavie, and Marco Stroppa, among others.
