    Academic career

    Dino Residbegovic is associate professor of Music Composition, Electronic/Electroacoustic music and Polyphony at Sarajevo Music Academy of the University of Sarajevo, department of the music composition.

    Reductional Music Complexity RMC

    Dino Residbegovic is former of new wave of 21st-century classical music, known as Reductional music complexity, term dating from the 2003, which principally describes Rešidbegović's style through which he initiated new wave in composition and perception of music, based on new order of parameters and their categorization by composer himself. Second description of his style would be "rhythmical music" which came from his categorizations of rhythm, or corpse of the music. Inspired by musicians such as John Cage, Mauricio Kagel, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Hans-Joachim Hespos and his professors dr. Rainer Bischof and Detlev Müller-Siemens, he started to write music without tone pitches and established many compositional techniques of "reductional complexity". Musical parameters such as rhythm, dynamics, his own expression marks and description, extended innovative techniques of many instruments are base of his music, usually written with graphic notation and they are "recipe" for performer who starts to be performer and composer while playing Residbegovic's music. Performer is trapped inside of many rules of "pitch improvisation" such as forbidden sequences, repeating of any tonal model, or use of any diatonic model, but also he is free in his musical speech, but influenced by his musical associations, experience, knowledge and own ideas. That "real time composition" inside of the model or form opens new philosophy of music and also sense of being real musician, through one of the most important element in interpretation of his music - performers own tone aesthetic.

    Piano Extended Techniques

    Residbegovic developed many instrumental techniques, but the most important and innovative in music of the 21st century are definitely his piano extended techniques and treatment of piano strings and resonator of the instrument such as use of synthesizer in contemporary classical music.

    Approximate Reductionist Graphical Notation ARGN

    Residbegovic also performs his live electronic experimental contemporary compositions on analog modular synthesizers. He determines his notation for electronic and acoustic instruments in his dissertation, "Subtractive synthesis in composition" as "Approximate Reductionist Graphical Notation". Residbegovic is currently mostly focused on electronic music and works with synthesizers such as equal instruments in contemporary classical music, through developing his compositional style to composition of sounds inside his own RMC (reductional music complexity) theory.
