Đurđija Vucinic is another mysterious musician and producer, seemingly content just to create and be, rather than reveal all via a frenzy of needy social media posts in hope that she'll be catapulted to fame and fortune, typified by her Instagram feed, which is a collection of snaps of life's overlooked minutia with a hint of nostalgia rather than a visual diary, and even her website leaves a lot to the imagination.

"Under Deconstruction" is part of a 2020 EP, of what appears to be music recorded many moons ago, possibly in more carefree times. Piano seems to be her main instrument of choice, although the EP opening track's minimal piano is blended with a field recording of what sounds like an evangelical sermon and reversed sounds, so keep an open mind.

After a couple of more wayward piano outings, things really go off the rails in the second half of the EP with, "Under deconstruction" being my cut of choice. Stretched sounds blend into gentle pads as a spectral voice floats through the gaseous frequencies, before an almost classical sounding pad gives way to pleasant distressed sounds, and rather more worryingly, a ticking time bomb that thankfully fails to detonate before the end of the track.

If avant-piano and experimental ambient is your thing then take a peek, and hopefully we'll get some newer music soon so we can see whats been cooking the last ten years.
