Musical artist

**Mitar Subotić "Suba"** ([Serbian Cyrillic](/source/Serbian_Cyrillic_alphabet): Митар Суботић Суба; 23 June 1961 – 2 November 1999), also known as **Rex Ilusivii** ([Latin](/source/Latin_language) for *The King of Illusions*), was a [Serbian](/source/Serbia)-born musician and composer who was set to become one of [Brazil](/source/Brazil)'s most prominent producers when he died in November 1999.[1]

Subotić obtained a university degree in his hometown from the [University of Novi Sad](/source/University_of_Novi_Sad), [Serbia](/source/Serbia), before continuing electronic music studies in [Belgrade](/source/Belgrade). He was a pioneer of [electronic music](/source/Electronic_music) in [former Yugoslavia](/source/SFRY), since he mixed and produced a number of celebrated albums of [Yugoslav new wave](/source/New_wave_music_in_Yugoslavia) acts such as [Ekatarina Velika](/source/Ekatarina_Velika), [Haustor](/source/Haustor), [Marina Perazić](/source/Marina_Perazi%C4%87) in the course of the 1980s. In 1986, his fusion of electronic music and Yugoslav folk lullabies, *[In The Mooncage](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=In_The_Mooncage&action=edit&redlink=1)* was awarded the International Fund for Promotion of Culture from [UNESCO](/source/UNESCO), which included a three-month scholarship to research Afro-Brazilian rhythms in Brazil. Falling in love with the country and its music, he emigrated to [São Paulo](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo) in the 1990s, where his fruitful production began and ended. During that time he participated in [Milan Mladenović](/source/Milan_Mladenovi%C4%87)'s last project [Angel's Breath](/source/Angel's_Breath), and recorded his famous album *[São Paulo Confessions](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_Confessions)*.

On 2 November 1999 he was working on the post-production of the album of his new-found diva, [Bebel Gilberto](/source/Bebel_Gilberto), when his studio caught fire. Overcome by smoke, he died trying to rescue the newly recorded material with her. Suba died just a few days after the release of his album *[São Paulo Confessions](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_Confessions)*, and shortly before the completion of [Bebel Gilberto](/source/Bebel_Gilberto)'s acclaimed *[Tanto Tempo](/source/Tanto_Tempo)*, the biggest selling Brazilian album outside Brazil.

## Biography

### Early years (1961–1982)

Mitar Subotić "Suba" was born on 23 June 1961 in [Novi Sad](/source/Novi_Sad), where he attended the music elementary school, playing [accordion](/source/Accordion) and achieving notable success with his accordion school orchestra in [Yugoslavia](/source/Yugoslavia) and abroad.[2] He started his career as a rock musician as a keyboard player in the short lived bands 96% and XX vek (*20th Century*), the latter disbanding in 1982,[2] after which he turned to his own solo career.[3] He studied composition and orchestration at the [University of Novi Sad](/source/University_of_Novi_Sad) music academy, during which he had shown an interest for [electronic music](/source/Electronic_music).[2] This was the reason why he attended the electronic music course organized at the [University of Belgrade](/source/University_of_Belgrade) by Paul Pignon, a [British](/source/United_Kingdom) saxophone player temporarily living in [Belgrade](/source/Belgrade).[3] At the time, strongly influenced by the [French](/source/France) [ambient music](/source/Ambient_music) composer [Erik Satie](/source/Erik_Satie) and British keyboard player and producer [Brian Eno](/source/Brian_Eno), he started recording ambiental music compositions, experimenting with different sounds, including telephone sounds, birds chirping and [Amazonian](/source/Amazon_basin) indigenous music.[2]

### Career in Yugoslavia (1983–1989)

Subotić released his first recordings in an original way: the tracks that were signed under the [pseudonym](/source/Pseudonym) Rex Ilusivii were delivered personally by him to the [Radio Novi Sad](/source/Radio_Novi_Sad) reception desk addressed to Dragan Gojković "Goja", the host of the *Yu pop scena* (*Yu Pop Scene*) and *Novi Vidici* (*New Horizons*) cult radio shows, which subsequently broadcast the recordings without knowing the author's true identity.[2] After a year of sending new compositions to Gojković every week, Subotić decided to reveal his identity, after which came a live presentation of his work with performances in Novi Sad, Belgrade, [Zagreb](/source/Zagreb), [Ljubljana](/source/Ljubljana), [Sarajevo](/source/Sarajevo) and [Subotica](/source/Subotica).[3] In 1983, with the Novi Sad [conceptual artist](/source/Conceptual_artist) Lina Bus, Subotić performed in [Paris](/source/Paris) and [Venice](/source/Venice), and with the comic book artist [Zoran Janjetov](/source/Zoran_Janjetov) and multimedia artist Kosta Bunuševac, he organized the first Yugoslav rock performance at the sold-out [Belgrade SKC](/source/Studentski_kulturni_centar_(Belgrade)).[4] At the time, Janjetov was one of his key collaborators, as he recommended him to use the pseudonym Rex Ilusivii after a comic-book character, gave him certain ideas and named several compositions.[4]

The compositions recorded in the period between 1983 and 1985 were a part of Subotić's project *Promene* (*Changes*), the title being self-explanatory of the musical experimentation Subotić had undertaken, in which Subotić collaborated with a number of already well-known musicians, resulting in a number of true radio hits:[3] Zoran Janjetov "Janja" in the track "Jeti" ("Yetti"), [Jakarta](/source/Jakarta_(band)) vocalist Igor Popović in the songs "Ptice" ("The Birds") and "Arabija" ("Arabia") featuring [Tomo in der Mühlen](/source/Tomo_in_der_M%C3%BChlen) on guitar, [Ekatarina Velika](/source/Ekatarina_Velika) frontman [Milan Mladenović](/source/Milan_Mladenovi%C4%87) in the cover of the [James Brown](/source/James_Brown) song "Sex Machine", [Denis i Denis](/source/Denis_i_Denis) singer [Marina Perazić](/source/Marina_Perazi%C4%87) in the song "Plava jutra" ("Blue Mornings"), and [Dorian Gray](/source/Dorian_Gray_(band)) frontman [Massimo Savić](/source/Massimo_Savi%C4%87) in the composition "Facedance".[2] The composition "Zla kob" ("Doom"), recorded under the obvious influence of [Serbian orthodox music](/source/Serbian_orthodox_church), was included by [Zoran Modli](/source/Zoran_Modli) on the [PGP RTB](/source/PGP_RTB) various artists compilation *[Ventilator 202 vol. 1](/source/Ventilator_202#Volume_1_-_April_1983)*, released in 1983.[2] Two years later, the song "Arabija" appeared on the *[Ventilator 202 vol. 3](/source/Ventilator_202#Volume_3_-_Spring_1985)* compilation.[3]

Subotić's debut studio album *Disillusioned*, having been turned down by the major Yugoslav record companies, was released as a part of the 30th anniversary celebration of the Radio Novi Sad show *Randevu sa muzikom* (*A Rendezvous with Music*) in a limited pressing of 500 copies.[4] The recording sessions featured [Milan Mladenović](/source/Milan_Mladenovi%C4%87), Uroš Šećerov, Massimo Savić, [Električni Orgazam](/source/Elektri%C4%8Dni_Orgazam) bassist Zoran Radomirović "Švaba", and the pianist [Branka Parlić](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Branka_Parli%C4%87&action=edit&redlink=1).[3] The album B-side featured the twenty-five-minute composition "Thanx Mr. Rorschach - ambijenti na teme Erika Satija" ("Thanx Mr. Rorschach - ambients on Erik Satie themes"), composed as a kind of a musical [Rorschach test](/source/Rorschach_test) on the impressions from Satie's themes.[3] The album back cover featured a dedication to [Hrundi Bakshi](/source/Hrundi_Bakshi) and a review by the head of the [Erik Satie](/source/Erik_Satie) Foundation saying "It is a great pleasure to see that in Yugoslavia a musician, Mitar Subotić - Rex Ilusivii, is working composing some significant material, especially a piece, an homage to Satie, composed in a way that Satie would like best - that everyone finds one's own path and one's personality. The music of Rex Ilusivii presents exactly this formula, this procedure."[5]

Simultaneously with the album recording and release, Subotić had worked on music for television, theatre plays and choreodramas: for Haris Pašović's "Jelka kod Ivanovih" ("Fir Tree at Ivan's") and "Mara SAD" ("Mara USA"), Nada Kokotović's "Nojeva barka" ("[Noah's Ark](/source/Noah's_Ark)"), "U potrazi za izgubljenim vremenom" ("A Quest for Lost Time"), "Plavobradi" ("[Bluebeard](/source/Bluebeard)") and "Medeja" ("[Medea](/source/Medea)"), and Sookie John "Šma" ("[Shma](/source/Shma)").[3] He had also worked as a producer and sound engineer for other Yugoslav acts: in 1985 he produced the [Haustor](/source/Haustor) album *Bolero*, the [Heroina](/source/Heroina_(band)) and [La Strada](/source/La_Strada_(band)) bands' [eponymous debut](/source/La_strada_(album)) albums, the 1988 [Oktobar 1864](/source/Oktobar_1864) album *Igra bojama* (*Playing with colors*) and the 1989 [Ekatarina Velika](/source/Ekatarina_Velika) album *[Samo par godina za nas](/source/Samo_par_godina_za_nas)* (*Only a Few Years For Us*).[6] A number of Novi Sad bands, including [Obojeni Program](/source/Obojeni_Program), had Subotić as a sound engineer on their recordings,[4] and he had also worked as a sound engineer for the live appearances by Ekatarina Velika and [Karlowy Vary](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Karlowy_Vary_(band)&action=edit&redlink=1).[4] The recording of the Ekatarina Velika 1988 concert at the SMP Novi Sad, with Subotić as the sound engineer, was released in 1997 as *[Live '88](/source/Live_88_(Ekatarina_Velika_album))*.[7]

The interest for [electroacoustic music](/source/Electroacoustic_music), which he had shown since his early works through the motifs of Serbian folkloric lullabies, took him to Paris, where, in 1985, he composed theatre music and at the [IRCAM](/source/IRCAM) institute, he expanded his knowledge in the field of electronic-acoustic music.[6] During his stay in Paris, with [Goran Vejvoda](/source/Goran_Vejvoda) he started recording the album *The Dreambird, in the Mooncage*, which was the last to feature the pseudonym Rex Ilusivii, featuring the combination of recordings of birds chirping, made in [Madagascar](/source/Madagascar), combined with Serbian traditional lullabies and electronic music arrangements.[4] The recordings were promoted in an original way in the period between 1986 and 1992 by broadcasting the recordings on the main squares of Yugoslav, [Italian](/source/Italy) and [Brazilian](/source/Brazil) cities.[4] Owing to the UNESCO award for promoting traditional culture, which he had got for *The Dreambird, in the Mooncage*, he got a scholarship to [São Paulo](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo) where he landed on 15 March 1990 and decided to permanently live.[8] Part of the recorded material was released as *The Dreambird* in 1994 by the Brazilian label [COMEP Music](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=COMEP_Music&action=edit&redlink=1).[6]

### Career in Brazil (1990–1999)

Soon after becoming a resident of [São Paulo](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo), Subotić started composing and recording music for radio, television, fashion shows and theatre plays, becoming an acclaimed and distinguished producer, mainly due to his combining of traditional [Brazilian music](/source/Music_of_Brazil) with [electronic music](/source/Electronic_music) arrangements.[9] He had also started collaborating with notable Brazilian musicians and bands of the time: [Katia B](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Katia_B&action=edit&redlink=1), [Cibelle](/source/Cibelle), [Taciana](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taciana&action=edit&redlink=1), [Bebel Gilberto](/source/Bebel_Gilberto) (the daughter of the famous Brazilian singer [João Gilberto](/source/Jo%C3%A3o_Gilberto)), [Arnaldo Antunes](/source/Arnaldo_Antunes), [Marina Lima](/source/Marina_Lima), [Marisa Monte](/source/Marisa_Monte), [João Donato](/source/Jo%C3%A3o_Donato), [João Parayba](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jo%C3%A3o_Parayba&action=edit&redlink=1), and [Mestre Ambrósio](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mestre_Ambr%C3%B3sio&action=edit&redlink=1).[9] During the second part of the 1990s, he was credited on a large number of Brazilian albums as an arranger and a producer: on the 1995 albums *Kizumba* by João Parayba, *Janela dos Sonhos* by [Taciana](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taciana&action=edit&redlink=1), the 1996 *96 Sessions* by [Hermeto Pascoal](/source/Hermeto_Pascoal), [Andre Geraisatte](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andre_Geraisatte&action=edit&redlink=1) and J.P, *Benzina* by [Edgard Scandurra](/source/Edgard_Scandurra), *Silêncio* by Arnaldo Antunes, [Ale Muniz](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ale_Muniz&action=edit&redlink=1) 1997 album *Idem*, and the 1998 albums *Pierrot do Brazil* by Marina Lima, *Fuá na Casa de Cabral* by Mestre Ambrósio and *Clubbing* by [Edson Cordeiro](/source/Edson_Cordeiro).[6] He had also worked with the former [Grateful Dead](/source/Grateful_Dead) drummer [Mickey Hart](/source/Mickey_Hart) and the American band [War](/source/War_(U.S._band)).[6]

In the spring of 1994, with [Milan Mladenović](/source/Milan_Mladenovi%C4%87), he started recording material for their collaboration project *[Angel's Breath](/source/Angel's_Breath)*, featuring an array of Brazilian musicians (percussionist João Parayba, guitarist [Fabio Golfetti](/source/Fabio_Golfetti), vocalists Mariza and Madalena) combining [alternative rock](/source/Alternative_rock) with Serbian and Balkan traditional music.[6] Recorded in three months in leisurely conditions, *Angel's Breath* featured the prominent tracks "Crv" ([Serbian](/source/Serbian_language) for "The Worm"), "Assassino" ([Portuguese](/source/Portuguese_language) for "Murderer") and "Praia do ventu eternu" (similar to "Praia do vento eterno" which is Portuguese for "The Beach of Eternal Wind"). This was Mladenović's last project; on his return to Serbia, on 5 November 1994, he died in [Belgrade](/source/Belgrade) at the age of 36.[10] The Serbian critic Petar Luković, in a critical review of the album said: "*Angel's Breath* is not a soft, easy going record; it demands attention, participation; it is an album which corresponds with the listener as much as the listener corresponds with itself. Such [Serbian rock](/source/Serbian_rock) albums have never had this, and with the departure of Milan Mladenović, I am afraid will never have...".[9]

In November 1999, Subotić released the album *[São Paulo Confessions](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_Confessions)* in Brazil by Trama Music, in [Europe](/source/Europe) by [Ziriguiboom](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ziriguiboom&action=edit&redlink=1) on [Crammed Discs](/source/Crammed_Discs), in Japan by [Sony Records](/source/Sony_Records) and in the United States by [Island Records](/source/Island_Records).[6] The album featured guest appearances by the vocalists Cibelle, Katia B and Taciana, [jazz](/source/Jazz) guitarist [Andre Gerrasiatti](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andre_Gerrasiatti&action=edit&redlink=1), percussionist João Parayba and the members of Mestre Ambrósio.[6] Part of the material from the album was remixed by [Phil Asher](https://mixmag.net/read/phil-asher-uk-house-music-broken-beat-legend-died-news) and the remixes were released as a 12" vinyl EP *Você Gosta*.[11] *São Paulo Confessions* received positive critics worldwide.[6] The album review at [Allmusic](/source/Allmusic) on which the critic John Vallier gave the album four and a half out of five stars.[12] However, on 2 November 1999, on the evening of the *São Paulo Confessions* album promotion, in an attempt to rescue the recordings from his studio which had been caught up in a fire, Subotić died at the age of 38.[6]
