Musician and composer Matjaž Vlašič recently addressed the long-standing discussion regarding whether the era of great music has passed. In an interview conducted by journalist Aleksander Pozvek at Vlašič’s studio, the composer refuted the notion that the best songs have already been written, demonstrating that contemporary artistry continues to generate high-quality material. Vlašič highlighted his extensive career, noting collaborations with prominent Slovenian figures such as Nina Pušlar, Helena Blagne, Modrijan, and Fehtar.
Reflecting on his compositional process, he stated that while the text and lyrics are crucial components of any piece, the sincerity embedded within the music itself is what captures attention. “Music is the play of emotions; it serves as a stimulus,” Vlašič explained. He emphasized that the true measure of success lies in the emotional depth conveyed, rather than adherence to a predictable formula.
He noted that while no universal recipe guarantees a hit, his professional output, which includes authorship on over 800 tracks, stands as evidence of his sustained contribution to the industry. The discussion underscored the enduring vitality of the creative process. Vlašič’s perspective suggests that songwriting remains an active, evolving craft, constantly challenging outdated assumptions about artistic peaks and troughs.
His continued work serves as a testament to the ongoing potential for meaningful musical creation.
