B2 Selfconfidence

B1 Love Is The Pain Is Love

A2 To Destiny

A1 Lesser Human

This is a piece of music I composed for "Witness Prijedor" documentary film made for UN by Petar Finci and Steve Coulson.

Witness P

Composed and recorded in 2014, this track is a beginning of colaboration with Ana Koops and a start of the project we named BenBen with Ana as a lead singer. We are currently working on the first BenBen EP.

What If

This song originally written by XTC was rearranged and recorded by Independent Saint for The Way Out Project with Alma Ovcina.

Dear god (XTC cover)

This track was made for "Nesvyest" project which was supposed to become a real live performing band. It still may happen...:)
This song features some of exquisite musicians I managed to befriend here in Holland: Kim Burton on piano and harmonika, Jon Sandell on guitar and Alma Ovcina singing. Lyrics are mostly in Croatian. Most important bit is: LJUBAV means LOVE...:)
Enjoy!
p.s If you manage to figure out what is on the photo, you get 100 Euros from me (but only the first one who is right...:). I might even decide to turn it into an official competition...:)

Iluzija

For Kiki (and for me!). Back to the roots, although that was not really her kind of music. She liked Cramps and RHCP...:)
But I am sure she would appreciate this one anyway... Much love!

Wrong

Written and recorded by Independent Saint for the Way Out Project with Alma Ovcina. The rest of the story is kind of complicated...:)

In love

This is one very old song which I still like very much. It is one of the first collaborations with Alma Ovcina and Kim Burton. It still sounds good to me. Hope you will agree...:)

Promise

This one was made in 2008 when I was in a kind of dark electro creative frenzy phase I called "Psychonaut Project". It resulted in one official video (available on my youtube), two live gigs (one live video on my youtube) and a long period of depression (private & unavailable)...:) 
Looking back at it now, I am quite happy with some of the pieces I made. 
"We" is quite high on that list... 
The message is: 
IF YOU FEEL LIKE DROWNING, WE'LL LET YOU DIVE
IF YOU FEEL LIKE FALLING, WE'LL LET YOU FLY
p.s. Anyone still remembers Walter Hill's Warriors?

This song was originally written for the Psychonaut Project (http://psychonaut.independentsaint.com/). Alma turned its atmosphere into something completely different. Instead of being an accusation, it has become a revelation! And it does sound kind of better as well...:)

I believe

"Gone" is the first song I made with Alma for The Way Out Project. Maybe a bit grim as it has to do with my late friend Sale... 
Anyway, long ago I had a series of sessions with Damir Šodan recording his "Billy Shears - Alone on Abbey Road" album (http://www.independentsaint.com/saint.php?story=subproject1&menu=0). 
Samples used in "Gone" were recorded as try outs for amplifying one of Damir's acoustic guitars. With his approval I kept nice bits for my pleasure, some of it featured in this song...:)

Gone

It does not really matter who I am and what I do for living. Here is some of my music. Some of it was made with a little help from my friends. I hope you'll like it...
