Transcript:Sl: Matej je stal pred vhodom v Ljubljanski grad, oblečen v debel rdeč plašč in s klobukom na glavi.En: Matej stood in front of the entrance to the Ljubljanski grad, dressed in a thick red coat and with a hat on his head.Sl: Snežinke so lebdele po zraku in se tiho spuščale na tla, odsevajoč praznično sijaj luči iz mesta spodaj.En: Snowflakes floated through the air, silently descending to the ground, reflecting the festive glow of the lights from the city below.Sl: Bil je nervozen, toda navdušen.En: He was nervous, but excited.Sl: Danes je bila njegova prva zmenja z Niko.En: Today was his first date with Nika.Sl: Modro je izbral ta čudovit kraj za zmenek, upajoč, da bo tako osvojil njeno srce.En: Wisely, he chose this beautiful place for the date, hoping to win her heart.Sl: A načrti se niso razvijali, kot si jih je zamislil.En: But things didn't unfold as he planned.Sl: Ko je že nameraval stopiti naprej, ga je presenetil glas za hrbtom.En: Just as he was about to step forward, a voice startled him from behind.Sl: "Hej, Matej!En: "Hey, Matej!"Sl: " To je bila Simona, njegova prijateljica iz otroštva.En: It was Simona, his childhood friend.Sl: Matej je bil nekoliko zmeden, ampak hitro je našel prijazen nasmeh na obrazu.En: Matej was a bit confused, but he quickly found a friendly smile on his face.Sl: "Oj, Simona.En: "Oh, Simona.Sl: Kaj pa ti tukaj?En: What are you doing here?"Sl: "Simona je, vedno nespretna, hitro izstrelila novico.En: Simona, always awkward, quickly blurted out the news.Sl: "Prišla sem presenetiti!En: "I came to surprise you!Sl: Pozdravit.En: To say hi.Sl: In malo pogledat.En: And take a look around.Sl: Kaj ne bo fajn?En: Isn't it going to be fun?"Sl: " Brez pomisleka ali povabila, se je že pridružila Mateju.En: Without a second thought or an invitation, she had already joined Matej.Sl: Matej je očitno presenečen in ni imel srca, da bi jo poslal stran.En: Matej was obviously surprised and didn't have the heart to send her away.Sl: Zato, ko je prišla Nika, so skupaj naredili novo trojico.En: So when Nika arrived, they formed a new trio.Sl: Nika je nasmejano sprejela situacijo in Matej si je oddahnil, da ni bilo nobene nerodnosti.En: Nika accepted the situation with a smile, and Matej was relieved that there was no awkwardness.Sl: Trojica se je sprehodila po zasneženih poteh gradu.En: The trio strolled along the snowy paths of the castle.Sl: Matej je poskušal razložiti zgodovino gradu, Simona pa je nenehno dodajala kaj svojega, kar je ustvarilo cel kup komičnih napak.En: Matej tried to explain the history of the castle, while Simona constantly added her own commentary, creating a whole bunch of comical mistakes.Sl: Sijoče luči in zunanji bazar so doprinesli k prazničnemu vzdušju.En: The sparkling lights and the outdoor bazaar added to the festive atmosphere.Sl: Nika je uživala v lahkotnosti vseh teh napačnih in zabavnih anekdot.En: Nika enjoyed the lightheartedness of all these erroneous and amusing anecdotes.Sl: Ko so slednjič vsi trije prišli do razgledne točke, kjer naj bi bil čarobni trenutek dneva, se je zgodilo nekaj nepričakovanega.En: When they finally reached the viewpoint where the magical moment of the day was supposed to happen, something unexpected occurred.Sl: Simona je, v svoji običajni nerodnosti, nehote zadela stojalo s toplim kakavom.En: Simona, in her usual clumsiness, accidentally knocked over a stand with hot cocoa.Sl: Skodelice so zletele po snegu, kakav pa je špricnil naokrog.En: Cups flew through the snow, and cocoa splashed around.Sl: Bil je trenutek popolnega kaosa – zasneženo pobočje je postalo prizorišče neskončnega smeha.En: It was a moment of complete chaos—the snowy slope became a scene of endless laughter.Sl: Na Matejevo presenečenje je Nika zajela dogodek z neustavljivim smehom.En: To Matej's surprise, Nika embraced the incident with uncontrollable laughter.Sl: Vesele oči so sijale in Matej je, kljub začetni zadregi, začutil toplino znotraj sebe.En: Her cheerful eyes sparkled, and Matej, despite the initial embarrassment, felt warmth inside himself.Sl: Zavedel se je, da popolnost ni bistvo lepega trenutka, temveč ljudje, s katerimi ga deliš.En: He realized that perfection isn't the essence of a beautiful moment, but rather the people with whom you share it.Sl: Na koncu dneva, ko so se vračali po zasneženih stopnicah, se je Matej zavedel, da je zmenek uspel.En: At the end of the day, as they descended the snowy steps, Matej realized that the date was a success.Sl: Neočiščene poti, smeh in nenačrtovana Simona so postali del zgodbe, ki je obema ostala v spominu.En: Ungroomed paths, laughter, and unplanned Simona became part of a story that both would remember.Sl: Zmaga dneva ni bila popolna, skrbno načrtovana romanca, ampak prijateljstvo, smeh in pristnost, ki je dozorela skozi plasti snega.En: The victory of the day wasn't a perfect, carefully planned romance, but the friendship, laughter, and authenticity that matured through layers of snow.Sl: Ob izhodu iz gradu se je Matej obrnil k Niki z iskricami v očeh.En: As they exited the castle, Matej turned to Nika with sparks in his eyes.Sl: "Hvala ti, Nika, ker si prenesla vse to," je rekel.En: "Thank you, Nika, for enduring all this," he said.Sl: Nika se je nasmehnila in odgovorila: "To je bil eden najboljših zmenov.En: Nika smiled and replied, "This was one of the best dates ever.Sl: Veselim se naslednjega!En: I'm looking forward to the next one!"Sl: " Matej je vedel, da je našel nekoga posebnega.En: Matej knew he had found someone special.Sl: In Simona?En: And Simona?Sl: No, ona je ostala Matejeva zvesta prijateljica – nenadomestljiva v svoji nerodnosti, ki je nosila s sabo čar življenja.En: Well, she remained Matej's faithful friend—irreplaceable in her clumsiness that carried with it the charm of life.

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
