Background

During the war, he was a music editor at the Radio Brod station.[4][3][6] The radio began with an experimental program on April 7, 1993[7] in order to start the regular program on June 1st of the same year.[8] On February 28 of the following year, the broadcast of the program was canceled, and then it returned to the air for a short time in early March. Many newspapers around the world, including The Observer and Newsweek, wrote about Brod's work.[9]
After the interruption of the broadcasting of Radio Brod, he gave an interview to Vreme zabave, a monthly supplement of the weekly magazine Vreme.[10]
In late 1995, Haustor released compilation album 1981, 1984, 1985, 1988 and had a concert during Fiju Briju Festival.[11] A few months later, Haustor performs at the festival Zagreb Gori. On October 5, 1996, the play "Apokalipso" premiered.[12]
