Fundamental Interactions is a collaborative project by Jelena Kuljić, in which she brings together an international group of musicians with poets from the former Yugoslavia. In addition to her lyrics, she also uses the poems of Marko Pogačar and Olja Savičević Jovančević from Croatia, Selma Asotić and Jasna Šamić from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Dragana Mladenović from Serbia. The focus is on the things that connect us and make us similar, the tension between the concept of home, language and identity. Together with Olga Reznichenko, Christian Lillinger, Kalle Kalima and Tim Dahl, an extraordinary music project has been created that questions boundaries both geographically and musically. Improvisation, contemporary electronic music, jazz, progressive rock, poetry and avant-garde are combined in this unique project.
The album will be released in autumn of 2025, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the end of the war in Bosnia.
