THE PORT OF LIFE III.

From Where to Forever (Od Koder Za Vedno) is the epilogue of the trilogy The Port of Life (recipient of the 2017 ASCAP Johnny Mandel Prize) and a full-length composition for jazz septet and string quartet by New York-based composer and jazz drummer Žan Tetičkovič. It serves as the final act of the composer’s long journey through immigration and assimilation.

While the first (2016) and second (2020) parts of The Port of Life project narrate the composer’s migratory experience in a travelogue-like manner, the third installment intertwines musical motifs and orchestral harmonies to explore deeper questions of collective subconsciousness, transience, and the metaphysical proximity or distance of existence.
