Worldlines to Marko Djordjevic:
The matrix is dedicated to the proposition that fame, success, and intrinsic artistic worth are not necessarily correlated.
A small-world network, it positions all matrixed artists within close, navigable, sign-posted steps of each other, irrespective of nation, degree of fame, and social status.
This by the same seemingly magical mathematics which dictates that each of over 7 billion human beings on planet earth are separated from all others by 6 or fewer steps.
A happy corollary: Matrixed artists are by this m.o. rendered discoverable and accessible by everybody everywhere on the planet.

Bio:
Marko Djordjevic has played on more than 40 albums and has thousands of live performances to his credit.

Djordjevic graduated with honors from Berklee College of Music, where he was accepted on a scholarship at the tender age of 16.

For more than ten years SVETI has been the creative outlet for Djordjevic. As the composer for SVETI, he writes music inspired by the rich musical tradition of his Balkan roots, but with a nod to the “Western” artists who have influenced him; from Coltrane and Weather Report to Zappa and the Police.

Quotes, Notes & Etc.
"It's one thing to be a brilliant drummer, with impeccable time and phenomenal technique; it's another to be one that can compose and arrange with the best of them. Marko does exactly that on Where I Come From. On top of it all, he surrounds himself with the finest talent, creating a musical juggernaut that breaks all boundaries. It's music steeped in tradition yet entirely original!"
- Gonzalo Silva, Metronom Magazine
Drummer Marko Djordjevic has written a very beautiful ballad in "Don't Be Sad." The melody is a simple plea. The playing is virtuosic. Sveti produces a compelling sound.

This album by the Serbian virtuoso and his group Sveti invites us on a musical odyssey. Rich in rhythm, color, texture and melody has already won praise from critics in the US. A great musician is inviting you in - feel free to enter!
- Philippe Legare, Batteur Magazine, France
Marko is a world class drummer and composer. He is one of the best and perhaps the most stylistically original drummer in contemporary music today. This CD shows Marko's prowess as a hard swinging jazz player, a master of odd metered folkloric music, an amazing soloist and a truly original composer. Buy this CD! You may just hear the shape of things to come in modern drumming.
