Slobodan Markovic

Born 1951 in Belgrade, Serbia (then Federative Republic Of Yugoslavia). Finished Faculty of Music Arts in Belgrade. Started playing electric piano in Radio Belgrade's Big Band. Then he played with a band where he met his future friend and co-worker Sanja Ilic. Realising that being in a band doesn't get much exept fame, he started working sometimes composer but much often arranger for other popular artists in former Yugoslavia. Since then he made arrangements for thousands of movies, tv shows and theatre plays as of course pop singers. He was music editor first on Radio Belgrade than in RTB record Company (one of the biggest). He published an instrumental album with Sanja Ilic named Delta Project (1987). It is still the best-selling instrumental album in Balcan area ever! Also he wrote a piano concert in 2003 where he made some paraphrases of John Williams, his favourite composer. He worked with lots of famous musicians, but for film fans the most memorable celebrities he worked with are Giorgio Moroder and Goran Bregovic. Today, he still works all day, sometimes reading books from his large Sci-fi collection or watching big Hollywood box-office hits with loads of effects. He's preparing a new arrangement of hymn for Serbia And Montenegro and his solo instrumental album is planned to be released at the end of 2005.
