Over Fields And Mountains

Branko Mataja's music blends elements reminiscent of Ennio Morricone's spaghetti westerns, the electrified belly dance music of Omar Khorshid, and ’90s bedroom psychedelia. After being taken from the streets of Belgrade as a teenager, Mataja spent World War II in a German work camp and later moved to North Hollywood, pursuing the American Dream. Throughout the 1970s, he crafted handmade music on homemade guitars, teaching himself to play as a tribute to his ancestral home of Yugoslavia, which he would only revisit through these guitar meditations.
