Montenegrin virtual band Rotko Stjuart has released a brand new single and music video titled “Muzičar amater” (“Amateur Musician”), continuing the project’s distinctive blend of satire, emotion, and alternative pop aesthetics. The video was directed by Matija Jovanović and produced by TVCG as part of the 2026 music documentary series Alternativni puls.
Music and lyrics for the song were written by Rotko Stjuart, while the arrangement was created in collaboration with Studio Psychasso. The recording features Dragan Ivanović on bass, Strahinja Banović on trumpet, Gabor Bunford on saxophone, and Tamara Živković on backing vocals. Mixing and mastering were handled by Studio Psychasso.

With “Muzičar amater”, Rotko Stjuart delivers another witty and bittersweet reflection on music as a personal necessity rather than a profession, wrapped in the project’s recognizable absurdist visual language. The accompanying video follows a seemingly serious operation that gradually turns into something entirely unexpected.
Rotko Stjuart previously gained regional recognition after winning the award for Best New Artist Video at the Muzzik Video Awards 2021 alongside Kids in the Sky, further establishing the project as one of the most original alternative acts in the region.
