Story Transcript:Sl: Na bregu blejskega jezera, kjer se v miru lesketa modra voda in okoliški hribi objemajo nebo, je stala mala lesena hiška.En: On the shore of Bled Lake, where the blue water glistens peacefully and the surrounding hills embrace the sky, stood a small wooden house.Sl: Tukaj sta Luka in Nina delala v najemu čolnov.En: Here, Luka and Nina worked renting boats.Sl: Zrak je bil poln vonja po svežini pomladi, ko so cvetlice začele kazati svoje živopisne barve.En: The air was filled with the scent of spring freshness as the flowers began to show their vibrant colors.Sl: Luka je vsak dan z veseljem čistil in pripravljal čolne.En: Luka was happy to clean and prepare the boats every day.Sl: Njegovo srce je hrepenelo po pustolovščinah onkraj teh vod.En: His heart yearned for adventures beyond these waters.Sl: Vedno, ko je veslal mimo otoka z znamenito cerkvijo, si je predstavljal različne kraje, ki jih bo nekega dne obiskal.En: Every time he rowed past the island with the famous church, he imagined different places he would visit one day.Sl: Prihranil je vsak evro, sanjal o svetlih mestnih lučeh in neznanih deželah.En: He saved every euro, dreaming of bright city lights and unknown lands.Sl: Vendar pa ga je domovina, njegova dolžnost do družine in vsakodnevna rutina včasih vlečejo nazaj.En: However, his homeland, his duty to family, and the daily routine sometimes pulled him back.Sl: Nina, s svojim mirnim pristopom k življenju, je skrbela za stranke s prijaznim nasmehom.En: Nina, with her calm approach to life, looked after the customers with a friendly smile.Sl: Bila je zadovoljna s svojim delom, a v srcu je nosila strah pred spremembami.En: She was content with her work, but in her heart, she carried a fear of change.Sl: Rada je imela predvidljivost svojega vsakdana, čeprav jo je Lukina želja po svetu polnila z občutkom negotovosti.En: She loved the predictability of her everyday life, even though Luka's desire for the world filled her with a sense of uncertainty.Sl: Bila sta prijatelja, ki sta se pogosto pogovarjala o življenju in sanjah.En: They were friends who often talked about life and dreams.Sl: Nekega sončnega popoldneva, ko je bila jezerska gladina kot zrcalo, sta sedela na pomolu.En: One sunny afternoon, when the lake's surface was like a mirror, they sat on the pier.Sl: Luka se je zbral, da bi Nini povedal nekaj pomembnega.En: Luka gathered the courage to tell Nina something important.Sl: "Nina," je začel previdno, "razmišljam, da bi po sezoni odšel na potovanje.En: "Nina," he began cautiously, "I'm thinking of going on a trip after the season.Sl: Želim raziskati svet in uresničiti svoje sanje.En: I want to explore the world and fulfill my dreams."Sl: " Njegov glas je bil mešanica strahu in upanja.En: His voice was a mixture of fear and hope.Sl: Nina je nekaj časa tiho zrla v vodo.En: Nina stared silently into the water for a while.Sl: Potem je globoko vdihnila in priznala, "Strašno se bojim sprememb, Luka.En: Then she took a deep breath and admitted, "I'm terribly afraid of change, Luka.Sl: A razumem tvojo željo po novih izkušnjah.En: But I understand your desire for new experiences.Sl: Morda tudi sama potrebujem nekaj novega v življenju.En: Maybe I need something new in my life too."Sl: "To odkritje je preobrazilo njun pogovor.En: This revelation transformed their conversation.Sl: Oba sta začela razmišljati drugače.En: They both began to think differently.Sl: Luka je začutil nov zagon.En: Luka felt a new drive.Sl: Brez Ninine podpore ne bi imel poguma za ta korak.En: Without Nina's support, he wouldn't have the courage for this step.Sl: "Delal bom skozi poletje, točno tukaj," je rekel odločno.En: "I'll work through the summer, right here," he said decisively.Sl: "Prihranil bom, koliko bom lahko.En: "I'll save as much as I can.Sl: Medtem pa bom načrtoval potovanje.En: Meanwhile, I'll plan the trip."Sl: "Nina se je nasmehnila in dodala: "In jaz bom tu.En: Nina smiled and added, "And I'll be here.Sl: Čakala bom na tvoje zgodbe in ti ves čas dajala podporo, ki jo potrebuješ.En: I'll wait for your stories and give you the support you need all along."Sl: " Dala je vedeti, da je prijateljstvo med njima še močnejše.En: She made it clear that the friendship between them was even stronger.Sl: Ko so ptice zaplesale po nebu, je Luka začutil, da ga to kratko, a pomembno obdobje pripravlja na prihodnost.En: As the birds danced across the sky, Luka felt that this short but significant period was preparing him for the future.Sl: Odzvok valov, ki so butali ob obalo, mu je dal občutek, da je čas za spremembe.En: The sound of the waves crashing against the shore gave him a sense that it was time for change.Sl: Nina se je naučila, da življenje ni vedno predvidljivo, a sprememba prinaša tudi lepe trenutke.En: Nina learned that life is not always predictable, but change also brings beautiful moments.Sl: Zgodba ob jezeru se je končala, a za Luka in Nino se je pravkar začela nova poglavja njunih poti.En: The story by the lake ended, but new chapters of their journeys were just beginning for Luka and Nina.

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
