Music for Mature Audìences (1999) Milica Stefanovic (b. 1979)
The work explores the issues of censorship, the sterility of modernism, and the delicate issue of the ego.
The composer works with the ideas of juxtaposing spoken text and melodic material, utilising it as a
metaphor for the "computer age" and "high art" society. The sampled material comments on society's
dependency on new technology. The performers are required to use their own personality and character
in the improvised sections
