His prose has been translated into ten European languages and published in all literary magazines in the former Yugoslavia and Serbia.<\/p>\n<p>But writing was not his only passion. His interest in music began in early childhood, he finished primary and secondary music school in the accordion department, and as he says, his fondest memories are when working for Novosti newspapers where he worked as a music critic. He wrote a dozen music reviews for <strong>Aleksandar Mad\u017ear<\/strong>, and according to his words, that time was fascinating and never happened again.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2636\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2636\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2636 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.055.jpg\" alt=\"Marko Mileti\u0107\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.055.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.055-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.055-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.055-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.055-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2636\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marko Mileti\u0107<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018<strong>Three out of those dozen reviews, were victorious, three or four were a complete failure, while three or four were somewhere in between. In three years, his concerts were the concerts of the year. He was never angry with me, he is the kind of artist who is endowed with a genius that did not always find a way to good performances because he did not choose the compositions in the best way. He was often a victim of his genius, but when he used his head, he was definitely our Chopin. And he will always be our Chopin<\/strong>,\u2019 Gatalica remembers the time when he worked as a music critic and adds:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<strong>A critic must know how to say no. If he keeps saying yes, that&#8217;s not criticism.<\/strong>\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He also believes that there is a great similarity between literature and music, and if we look at the novel, which is a very complex form, it is very similar to a sonata or symphony.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<strong>It\u2019s like when I read a novel \u2013 in the same way I listen carefully to a sonata, following the themes, following the body part, following the replay. When I write a novel, I act like a musician who writes a symphony, that&#8217;s what I learned. It differs me from the colleagues, thus my novels are different too. These are different levels that must fit. First the level of motive, the level of something that could be a melody, the whole theme and then the whole movement with two or three themes. I think that I learned on time from great writers, and even more from great composers. After all, I would find parallels in the modulation of tonality in music with the modulation of different voices, with the fact that writer no longer sits sublime but descends among his heroes and channeling their existence into the novel with different voices, tones, comic, lyrical, tragic<\/strong>,\u2019 explains Gatalica.<\/p>\n<p>He says that popular culture has always existed, both in literature and music, and it will always exist; but it is not that dangerous as it is when people who have mastered the quick emotions of their audience start abusing it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2634\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2634\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2634 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.051.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Vladimir Gvozden\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.051.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.051-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.051-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.051-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kaleidoskopkulture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/V.VelickovicSep20.051-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2634\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr Vladimir Gvozden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018<strong>It can be seen more in our literature than in music, but is also exists in music. These are the so-called love novels that deal with the death of children, with cancer in the terminal phase, mixed with fateful love. This is very dangerous. Because the audience is forced to strong and very divided emotions, because there are such cases in life. It starts as a chronicle from the youth, and then it is actually a very serious abuse of readers&#8217; emotions. We have to understand that we are the ones who operate on people&#8217;s emotions. We are a kind of doctor, and we can be a kind of poisoner. Every medicine is a poison at the same time. I think these are the most dangerous. They manipulate with stories that make people have difficult and painful emotions, they count on an audience that has similar situations in life. I can tell you what I do with such books, I throw them against the wall. That is the right reaction, that is the reaction of all of us writers who want to talk to our audience. For example, in the \u2018Great War\u2019, you have a lot of atrocities, abuse, and, as a writer who thinks in pictures, I am constantly thinking about how far I can go in the feelings of my audience<\/strong>\u2019 and adds:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<strong>Serious artists think seriously about strong emotions, frivolous ones use them as bad magicians. For example, children are the large and serious object of art. Children should not suffer so much, it causes anger.
