Zurich-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Goran Rakovac, known artistically as Goran Gica, continues to captivate listeners with his rich musical sensibility shaped by his Serbian heritage and more than two decades of international experience.
Born in 1972, Goran’s love affair with music began at the tender age of five and blossomed into a lifelong journey of sonic exploration. A master of many instruments, he has performed with acclaimed bands throughout the former Yugoslavia and across global stages, earning a reputation for both versatility and emotional depth.
Now living in Switzerland, Goran remains deeply connected to the Balkan musical tradition, weaving its distinct flavors into everything from instrumental folk and jazz to cinematic scores and classical pieces. His compositions defy genre boundaries, embodying a spirit of artistic freedom and heartfelt expression.
A passionate sound designer, Goran also crafts his own custom virtual instrument libraries, blending technology with his musical vision. His curiosity extends beyond music into the worlds of art and graphic design, where he finds inspiration in the interplay of form, color, and rhythm.
What sets Goran apart is not just his talent, but his refreshing authenticity. His online presence is as unfiltered as his music is refined — a reflection of his down-to-earth nature. In an age of polished personas, Goran’s simplicity feels not only genuine but also deeply human, making his art even more relatable.
Recently, Goran has been dedicating his energy to developing his own VST software tools, expanding his creative reach into the world of music technology. It’s an exciting new chapter that reflects both his technical curiosity and artistic passion.
We warmly wish Goran all the best on this new journey — may his creativity continue to inspire and evolve.
