Hrvoje Pelicarić is a Croatian sound designer, musician, and multimedia artist. Trained in audio engineering and holding a master’s degree in Media Arts, his artistic roots trace back to the 1990s independent alternative and experimental scene. He was a founding member of the then-progressive, now cult band Zidar Betonsky, and contributed significantly to the work of the contemporary theatre and activist group Fraktal Falus Teatar.

Across his sound and spatial-sound works, Pelicarić explores the relationships between bodies and the external world. Drawing on his background in engineering, he engages with the peculiarities and contradictions of human perception. Through artistic transformation, Pelicarić seeks to create intimate sonic environments that oscillate between harmony and contrast. Elements of theatre remain present throughout his practice, surfacing through intermedia situations, strategies of working with sound material, and the use of (deconstructed) text as a point of departure.

Hrvoje Pelicarić was a resident at Sonic Acts’ Spatial Sound Residency in 2025.
