Milan Mihajlovic, Krzysztof Penderecki, Gyorgy Ligeti, Olivier Messiaen, Toru Takemitsu, Alexandar Scriabin, Claude Debussy, Gustav Mahler, and many other, including great and celebrated masters of old whose legacy is an eternal inspiration for every musician alive.
To live alone one must be an animal or a god, says Aristotle. There is
yet a third case: one must be both - a philosopher.
My name is Nikola Pacek-Vetnic, I am 24 years old and currently
residing in Novi Sad, Serbia. I am a student of composition at the Novi
Sad Academy of Arts, in the class of professor Milan Mihajlovic, and I
have also had classes with Aleksandra Vrebalov, Edward Ficklin and
Michael Rose. In the year 2008. I have won the first two prizes at the
National Serbian contest for percussion music composition, with Nebojsa
Zivkovic, Srdjan Hofman, and Slavko Suklar as the jury members, with Nordlicht, for marimba solo, and Suite 2, for the set of
drums and south American percussion. Besides piano, which is
mandatory, and an instrument I am not very good at, I also play drums
and am familiar with a few other instruments as well.
Besides working as an art music composer, I am also engaged in various
other activities: I am the leader, composer and a drummer in an art
metal band, Prometheus, and symphonic metal band Svarun,
and also working as a writer, composer and a drawing artist in game
development team Apeiron Studios.
My purpose in life is to seek the ultimate truth, the one I believe is
to be found within the pulsating of the atoms we call music. How close
I am to the fulfillment of that goal you can conclude by listening to the music provided on this page. A comment is welcome, as a sign of acknowledgment or a praise, as well as a critic or a sign of disliking.
After all, the final judge shall be the listener, that is, you.
However, the final creator shall be I.

If we believed that Gabriel Slipped into Mary’s room, And filled her holy uterus With God’s spermatozoon;
If we believed the Magi When hearing of the news Brown nosed baby Jesus Even though they were not Jews;
If we believed the ‘Prince of Peace’ Was not the world’s worst curse; And all the “good” that Christians do Just doesn’t make things worse;
If we believed Christianity Wasn’t racist, superstitious, sex-fearing, woman-hating, homo-phobic, zeno-phobic, gnosta-phobic, earth-raping, soul-smothering INSANITY…. .................................. .................................... ................................... ....................................
