Born in London in 1956 to Yugoslav parents, Goran Vejvoda lived in Paris from 1985 and has been based in the United States since 2015. From his earliest musical experiences—rock, contemporary and classical music at the Belgrade Conservatory—he has retained a strong attraction to a wide range of artistic fields. Eclectic in his approach to music and sound, he lays claim to a completely free use of sonic vocabulary. In Belgrade, he played the oboe, drums, and guitar, and worked at sound consoles.He has been a musician and producer for several bands in the former Yugoslavia and in France. His desire for diverse experiences has led him to create soundtracks for documentaries, short films, and commercials; to design sound installations for exhibitions and fashion shows; to compose music for stage productions; and, more broadly, to produce interdisciplinary performances, establishing him as a musician and visual artist of modularity.His discography now comprises more than a dozen albums, including États Hautement Réverbérés, released on Radio France’s Signature label in 2015. He is also the composer of the original soundtracks for Enki Bilal’s films Tykho Moon (1997) and Immortel (2004). He also works as a sound engineer and producer.He has composed music for stage productions, notably for Angelin Preljocaj: sound creations for Romeo and Juliet (1990) and Le Parc (1994), and music for La Peau du monde (1992), Paysage après la bataille (1997), and Casanova (1998). In 2017, together with Florence Müller, he directed the two-part documentary All Sounds Considered, a history of sound art since the postwar period.
