IVONA ETEROVIć

Producer and musician Ivona Eterović, artistic name tonota, began her musical journey in the electronic rap duo Playground Hustle, after which she started working independently, expanding the genre boundaries of her musical expression. Tonota's unconventional approach to club music, along with more frequent experimentation and avoidance of club rules, results in an interesting combination of ambient and bass music, occasionally influenced by traditional music. Among her own performances, tonota highlights live acts at the ZEZ Festival, Music Biennale Zagreb, SONICA and SHIP Festival, as well as collaborations with Vesna Pisarović, Ana Hušman and I.M. Klif, Sara Renar and 2XS.

In 2021, tonota attended a multi-channel sound diffusion workshop, led by Miodrag Gladović, after which she started exploring spatialization of sound and created her first spatial-sound compositions. She performed on the complex multi-channel speaker system Vienna Acousmonium, in Ljubljana.In recent years, Eterović has been composing music for theater and film, and in 2024 she enrolled master study of Sound Design at the Editing Department of the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. In 2024, SHAPE+ selected her as one of the most promising emerging artists in innovative music and art.
