S.P.O.J. – A Night Ride Through Industrial Landscapes

S.P.O.J. - A Night Ride Through Industrial Landscapes

Audio visual collective S.P.O.J. from Bosnia presents new single and video “Sjeme” (Seed). The music and lyrics were created at the end of 2014, and during 2018 and 2019, we occasionally returned to that project and finalized it at the end of 2019.

After the S.P.O.J. duo (Vedran Dugonjić, Sallex Perić) recorded guitars, e-bow, saz, synths, percussion and other live instruments, as well as vocals and electronic parts of the song, the now regular associate of the project Neven Perić Nevix aka NVX njoined and added his fantastic production and composing skills to the song.

A special spice of the song was added by Šejla Grgić from Divanhana, one of the most talented regional singers, singing a short (though very effective) vocal part in the central, quiet part of the song, with the assistance of her bandmate, Neven Tunjić .

In the fall of 2019, the shooting of the video was completed, so the editing and post-production had begun, which was completed in early 2020. However, due to personal and global tragedies, crises and life obstacles, the release date had to be postponed several times.

The video was directed, edited and post-produced by Sallex Perić. Davorin Đuranović was in charge of the camera and Dino Osmanović was in charge of the drone. The video stars Emir Nuhanovic, a Bosnian architect and visual artist.
