Summary

The 1980s ushered in a new era of electronic music in Yugoslavia with the introduction of personal computers. The young and progressive composers Srđan Hofman and Zoran Erić established the first computer music studio in Yugoslavia – the Tonski Studio of the Faculty of Music, which opened in 1986. The state-of-the-art facility acquired Apple Macintosh II machines in 1988, becoming one of the very few Macintosh-equipped studios in Europe. Composers who studied at the Electronic Studio of Radio Belgrade in the 1970s and 1980s quickly traded the outdated analog machine for personal computers. The arrival of the modern equipment quickly brought Yugoslav computer music into dialogue with developments abroad. Vladan Radovanović embraced computer composition in his pieces from the 1980s. Younger composers used sampling. However, these new and dynamic technological explorations would abruptly come to a complete halt only three years later, with the start of the Yugoslav Wars and the ensuing brutal economic sanctions.
