Unreleased music themes by composer Kornelije Kovac for XIV Winter Olympic Games Sarajevo 1984 will be released in September for Fox & His Friends Records, joining the anniversary celebrations of one of the most remembered sports games in its history. Originally made for commissioned documentary advertising short Report from Sarajevo, directed by Miodrag Zdravkovic in 1982, these music themes are Kornelije Kovac’s first sessions that precede the official songs, idents and audio logos he composed for the XIV Winter Olympic Games opening ceremony.
Sessions started in 1982 and lasted till 1984 when Kornelije Kovac in his Belgrade based studio created songs that firstly followed Sarajevo’s preparation for the games, transforming the town into international meeting place, right up to the end of the games with closing hit song “It was nice in Sarajevo, see you in Calgary”.
XIV Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo 1984 had immeasurable status in the history of Yugoslavia and is widely recognized by organizing committee to be the best in recent history of the Games. However, they were also the pop-culture melting pot of the times, with posters by Andy Warhol and famed local designers and the music by Kornelije Kovac, leading the selected best-of-the-best composers of the times. Zoran Hristic, Nikica Kalogjera, Frano Parac and Slobodan A. Kovacevic were also among the engaged authors.
The recordings on the release Report from Sarajevo (XIV Winter Olympic Games 1984) share the same musical approach to melody and structure Kornelije Kovac (1942 - 2022) was using at the beginning and the mid of 1980s: while exploring the possibilities of synthesizer, fresh from his collaborations in London with famed composer Hans Zimmer, and almost a decade since he shared Eurovision Song Contest stage with ABBA in Brighton with his Korni grupa. He also collaborated with Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake), Paul Jones (Manfred Mann) and Andy Pask (Landscape) among others. Kornelije Kovac always insisted on the freshness of the harmony layers combined with club friendly rhythm track.
With the warm analogue feel that resonates in today's digital world this was chosen for a purpose to be an old-school 12'' maxi-single, as it was intended to be, cut deeply for the sakes of all lost and existing discotheques in Sarajevo and all over the world. Sourced from the original master tapes with full color artwork by Eric Adrian Lee, Report from Sarajevo includes special insert with photographs from Kornelije Kovac’s private collection and liner notes by Zeljko Luketic.
