ZTime is a Composer, Arranger, Soundcrafter, Filmmaker and Visual Artist.

His musical path began at the age of eight, when the first teachings of classical music found their way to him. In 1991, this path led him to the BA degree of Professor of Musical Culture at the Music Academy of Zagreb.

Born in Croatia, he has lived and gathered experience in Slovenia, Croatia and England (London), before settling in the Heartland of Fineland.

Among the greatest treasures gathered along these journeys was the deep awareness of peoples and cultures meeting, mixing and influencing one another. Their differences, as they crossed and collided, became part of the brew — giving rise to a wide-ranging mixture of artistic colours, sounds and ways of seeing.

⁂

The call of contemporary music reached ZTime when he was twelve years old. Since then, he has walked between the old and the new, carrying both worlds together and weaving them into his creations.

His deep love for the visual arts brought forth another union: sound and vision joined as one. Thus began an ongoing symbiosis in which audio and image meet, merge and take form through his daily work.
