Story Transcript:Sl: Voda Bledskega jezera je bila mirna, odsevajoč zelene hribe in oblačno nebo.En: The water of Bledskega jezera was calm, reflecting the green hills and the cloudy sky.Sl: V daljavi je stala očarljiva cerkvica na otoku, dodajala je pravljični dotik pokrajini.En: In the distance stood a charming little church on the island, adding a fairy-tale touch to the landscape.Sl: Anja je stala na mehki travi ob jezeru.En: Anja stood on the soft grass by the lake.Sl: Danes je bil njen rojstni dan, dan za katerega si je želela, da bi bil popoln.En: Today was her birthday, a day she wished to be perfect.Sl: Poleg nje sta bila Miha in Luka, njena najboljša prijatelja.En: Beside her were Miha and Luka, her best friends.Sl: "Pripravila sem piknik," je veselo napovedala Anja.En: "I've prepared a picnic," Anja announced happily.Sl: Na travi je razpredla prt in položila sendviče, sadje in sok.En: She spread out a cloth on the grass and laid out sandwiches, fruit, and juice.Sl: Luka je prinesel torto, Miha pa je poskrbel za deke.En: Luka brought a cake, and Miha took care of the blankets.Sl: Nebo je bilo oblačno, vendar toplota poletnega dneva ni izgubljala svoje prijetnosti.En: The sky was cloudy, yet the warmth of the summer day didn't lose its pleasantness.Sl: Anja je hrepenela po trenutku s prijateljema.En: Anja longed for a moment with her friends.Sl: Spomini in smeh so jih povezovali, a vedela je, da ni vedno enostavno ostati blizu, ko življenje postane naporno.En: Memories and laughter connected them, but she knew it's not always easy to stay close when life becomes demanding.Sl: Strah pred izgubo teh vezi se je včasih pretihotapil v njene misli.En: The fear of losing these bonds sometimes crept into her thoughts.Sl: Medtem, ko so se pogovarjali in se smejali, so prve kapljice dežja začele padati.En: As they talked and laughed, the first raindrops began to fall.Sl: Anja je stala z rokami na bokih.En: Anja stood with her hands on her hips.Sl: "Dež?En: "Rain?!"Sl: " Je vprašujoče pogledala nebo.En: She looked questioningly at the sky.Sl: Dež je postal močnejši.En: The rain became stronger.Sl: Balončki upanja so popokali.En: Bubbles of hope popped.Sl: Njene skrbi so se prepletale s sivimi oblaki.En: Her worries intertwined with the gray clouds.Sl: "Ne skrbite," je rekla Miha optimistično.En: "Don't worry," Miha said optimistically.Sl: "V bližini je kavarna.En: "There's a café nearby."Sl: "Anja je vzdihnila, vendar se je hitro odločila.En: Anja sighed but quickly made up her mind.Sl: "Prav, pojdimo.En: "Alright, let's go.Sl: Ne bomo dovolili, da dež uniči naš dan.En: We won't let the rain ruin our day."Sl: "V kavarni so sedeli ob oknu, gledajoč, kako kapljice plešejo po jezerski površini.En: In the café, they sat by the window, watching raindrops dance on the lake's surface.Sl: Anja ni želela, da bi dež postal simbol nečesa večjega, a vendar je nekaj v njej še tlelo.En: Anja didn't want the rain to become a symbol of something bigger, yet something within her still smoldered.Sl: Nenadoma je predlagala: "Zakaj ne bi šli na sprehod okoli jezera?En: Suddenly, she suggested, "Why don't we go for a walk around the lake?Sl: Pod dežniki?En: With umbrellas?"Sl: "Miha in Luka sta se zasmejala.En: Miha and Luka laughed.Sl: "Zakaj pa ne!En: "Why not!"Sl: "In tako je trio hodil po poti okrog jezera, dežniki nad glavami, šumeče kaplje v ozadju.En: And so the trio walked along the path around the lake, umbrellas over their heads, the rustling drops in the background.Sl: Kapljice so se lesketale kot drobni diamanti v svetlobi popoldneva in njihovi koraki so se usklajevali v mirnem ritmu.En: The raindrops glistened like tiny diamonds in the afternoon light, and their steps synchronized in a calm rhythm.Sl: Na koncu sprehoda so se ustavili pri prodajalcu sladoleda.En: At the end of the walk, they stopped at an ice cream vendor.Sl: Pošiljali so si poglede, ko so se stiskali pod enim dežnikom z mehkim sladoledom v rokah, in začeli se smejati.En: They exchanged glances as they huddled under one umbrella with soft ice cream in hand, and began to laugh.Sl: Smisel življenja ni v popolnosti, temveč v skupnih trenutkih.En: The sense of life is not in perfection, but in shared moments.Sl: "S tem se bomo spomnili na to leto," se je odločila Anja.En: "We'll remember this year by this," Anja decided.Sl: "Naj bo to naša tradicija.En: "Let this be our tradition."Sl: "Kot so sedeli tam, so deli sladkosnedne sladoledne izkušnje postajali več kot le en obrok.En: As they sat there, the parts of the sweet ice cream experience became more than just a meal.Sl: Sklenili so, da se bodo naslednje leto vrnili.En: They resolved to return the next year.Sl: Anja je čutila, da bo njeno prijateljstvo s temi srčnimi ljudmi ostalo čvrsto, ne glede na dež ali sonce.En: Anja felt that her friendship with these dear people would remain strong, regardless of rain or sunshine.Sl: Ko so zapuščali obalo, je Anja vedela, da ne bo več dvomila v moč pravih prijateljstev.En: As they left the shore, Anja knew she would no longer doubt the strength of true friendships.Sl: Njene skrbi so se razpršile kot sence, ki so jih za seboj pustili oblaki.En: Her worries dispersed like the shadows left behind by the clouds.Sl: Bled je postal poseben jim kraj ne zaradi lepote, temveč zaradi odločitev, ki so jih tam sklenili.En: Bled became a special place for them, not because of its beauty, but because of the decisions they made there.Sl: Na dan njenega rojstva so se vezi med njimi le še okrepile, dež pa je bil le začimba avanture.En: On her birthday, the bonds between them only strengthened, and the rain was just the spice of adventure.

Slovenian Pavilion at the 53 International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di VeneziaLa Biennale di Venezia radioCona, http://www.cona.si/radio Miha Štrukelj x=0 / y=0 Interference in Process At the Venice Biennale Slovenia will be represented by a project from Miha Štrukelj, conceived as a total artwork and based on four thematic levels and media: painting, wall drawing, drawing and Lego picture. The exhibition deconstructs the picture plane with the aid of the grid as a structural and conceptual basis, where the painting is deconstructed and reconstituted through the disillusioned gaze of the subject. The themes of Štrukelj's artistic practice arise from a fascination with media-manipulated images and expand into the iconography of anonymous urban topography, and the isolated, quiet presence of the human figure. This approach is reflected in all the work, with the exception of the Lego-picture which portrays natural landscapes, a rare motif in Štrukelj's work.more: http://www.slovenianpavilion.comThis podcast is created in collaboration and co-production with RAM: http://www.radioartemobile.it/in the frame Learning Slovenian Lawrence Squire My Slovene learning journey Random Logic - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, www.cona.si Random Logic alias Gregor Zemljic & Miha Klemencic are the longest established artists of the Slovene electronic music scene. They have also written music for major and alternative theatre, ballet and experimental art performances (they are collaborating extensively with the artist Marko Peljhan on his multimedia projects) and also for films. In the year 2000 they were awarded the Studio City Boomerang Award (alternative Slovenian music awards) for the best live techno act in Slovenia and recently they won 1st prize at The 2002 RFI (Radio France International) Musiques Electroniques Award for the best electronic project in Central and Eastern Europe. Borut Kržišnik - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, http://www.cona.si Borut Krzisnik is a Slovenian composer of contemporary music, based in Ljubljana. He was born in Zagreb in 1961. Born into a family of diplomats, he moved frequently during his childhood, both within former Yugoslavia and abroad, before finally settling in Ljubljana. Living among different nationalities and experiencing different mentalities helped form his understanding of diversity, something which certainly contributed to his broad approach to music. He played piano as a child, eventually switching to guitar and building up his unique way of composing. He graduated in Psychology from the University of Ljubljana, but soon afterwards devoted himself to music. He released five albums: SACRE DU TEMPS (Station Zuid, 2007), A LIFE IN SUITCASES (First Name Soundtracks, 2006), STORIES FROM MAGATREA (KUD France Preseren, US's release: Falcata-Galia Recordings, 1999), CURRENTS OF TIME (Recommended Records, London, 1991; re-release: Tone Casualties, Hollywood, 1998) and LA DOLCE VITA (FV, Lju
