Novakovic's horizons grew even broader during her university years, where her musical studies went as far back as the Gregorian chants of the Middle Ages to modern 20th-century tunes.Īfter graduating from Newcastle University with a Master’s degree in Medieval music, Novakovic was approached by a neighbour named Stephen Deutsch. When she wasn’t playing herself, she listened to anything from swinging big band jazz and soulful blues to classical choral, ballet, and theatre music. Even from a young age, she adored everything about music, from the electrifying buzz of performing awe-inspiring works alongside others to its magical ability to sweep one away from the mundane and into the realm of fantasy. She happily spent her formative years learning the piano, violin, and church organ. Some kids dread music lessons, but Novakovic (whose maiden name is Eveline Fischer) wasn’t one of them. This is the tale of Rare’s unsung virtuoso, Eveline Novakovic. In fact, her story as someone with no experience with gaming or programming that fell into one of the most adored video game developers of all time, but still excelled through sheer force of will deserves to be told. However, after co-composing two of the Donkey Kong Country games and lending her talents to many other Rare titles, Novakovic shouldn’t be forgotten. While many fans of the legendary British developer Rare fawn over the likes of David Wise and Grant Kirkhope, a name that rarely ever comes up is Eveline Novakovic.
