S projektom NT Wave Between Notes predstavlja se kao solo izvođač. Riječ je o nekonvencionalnom tretiranju konvencionalnog instrumenta, u ovome slučaju gitare. Putem neobično pospajanih pedala, te uređaja u obući, nastaje glazba koja se prelijeva iz otvorenih širokih stereo ambijentala, do usko definiranih plesnih gruvova sa mantričnim elementima. Zvučni rezultati nisu potpuno predvidivi, pa se uz dobro raspoloženu publiku, kako kaže Samardžija, koncert ponekad pretvara u techno party. Obzirom da slušatelji dolaze s prethodnim iskustvom slušanja stilski različitog, ali prirodom ovoga instrumenta, poznatog i uobičajenog gitarističkog zvuka, jedan od čestih komentara nakon slušanja je „jedna slika, drugi ton“ jer ono što publika čuje i doživi teško je povezati s očekivanim zvukom jednoga od najpopularnijih instrumenata.
NT Wave Between Notes presents Samardžija as a solo performer. The key starting point is unconventional treatment of a conventional musical instrument, in this case, the guitar. With unusually connected pedals and devices set in his shoes, the performer makes music that overflows from open wide stereo ambientals to the narrow defined dance grooves with mantric elements. The sound results are not predictable, so with a help of good audience, as Samardžija says, the concert sometimes turns into techno party. Given that the listeners come with previous experiences of listening to stylistic different, albeit by nature of the instrument familiar and usual guitar sound, one of the most common comments after listening is “one image, another tone”, because what the audience hears and experiences is hard to connect to an expected sound of one of the most popular instruments.
