“An instrument becomes extended with itself, ad infinitum. No matter how many times it devours its own tail, it keeps wanting more. I am just a temporary interruption in this process of self-feeding – an illusory agent of control that keeps the whole system in balance.”
Bassist Ivar Roban Križić moves seamlessly between performance, research and curation, exploring the edges of contemporary jazz, experimental music and free improvisation. His work investigates musical cognition, AI and the technical extensions of the double bass, creating a world where instrument, performer and sound constantly reshape one another.
