Jasna Jovicevic Quinary

Subliminal Chamber Jazz

As a musician and composer, I research the creative process in composing and improvising, the perception and production of sound frequencies, and contextualized musical structures that uniquely affect the mind and body, promoting overall well-being. Our music is conceptual program music, written for string quartet, with me playing saxophones, bass clarinet, flute, spacedrum, and voice. The free improvisational interaction among the participants harmoniously complements the contemporary approach of the chamber ensemble.

The Jasna Jovićević Quinery opens new forms through artistic research and improvisation framed by a contemporary expression of the string format. Our innovative approach to 21st-century contemporary jazz and conscious music creates a collective expression that mirrors togetherness and compassion in these extraordinary times.

The new program of the Jasna Jovićević Quinery presents original music from our last two albums. “Flow Vertical” is a holistic artistic study of sound vibrations through music, exploring sound as a tool to manipulate and influence vibrations in space, body, and mind, in line with the yogic tradition of Nada Yoga – Yoga of Sound. Our latest album, “Sounding Solitude,” reflects an inner journey into a new reality shaped by the pandemic over the past two years. This work examines Kübler-Ross’s model for the stages of grief, connecting states of collective struggle with meditative techniques as an antidote.

We are now in the process of producing our third album. This album features new compositions for strings and Jasna, inspired by the project “Soundscapes of Female Experience,” poems by Miloš Zubac, and ancient mantras for well-being, long life, and mindfulness. You can already listen to some of these new songs on YouTube.

Members of Quinary are musicians working in very different musical disciplines, but are greatly united in this ensemble: Jasna Jovićević (composition, saxes, bass cl, spacedrum,flute,voice), Filip Krumes (violin), Rastko Popović (viola), Pavle Popović (cello) and Milan Nikolić (double bass)
