Ivona’s artistic career has been marked by independent work and collaborations that sought to create a unique and fresh sound. Not shying away from introspection and sensibility, as producer and a performer, Ivona combines ambient and bass music with analogue and digital sound design. She expands her work through ambient and experimental club electronics, hip hop, pop, but also by composing for films and plays. With experience performing at significant regional festivals (Illectricity, ZEZ festival, Music Biennale Zagreb, Grounded), as well as at the first showcase festival in Croatia, SHIP, tonota has participated in numerous music workshops and residencies not only in Croatia but also abroad. Her work has been recognized on an international level. In addition to her solo release ‘sve se kretalo i sve je stalo’ (2020), she has published her compositions on labels from the United Kingdom and Slovenia.
tonota is an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the European Union and Pro Helvetia.
