Story Transcript:Sl: Mateja je sedela ob robu Blejskega jezera in občudovala veličasten razgled.En: Mateja sat at the edge of Blejskega jezera, admiring the magnificent view.Sl: Zraven nje sta bila Nejc in Zala, prijatelja, ki sta se odločila, da bosta preživela pomladno soboto na tem čudovitem kraju.En: Next to her were Nejc and Zala, friends who had decided to spend a spring Saturday in this beautiful place.Sl: Sprehodili so se po poti, ki je objemala jezero, med veselim smehom in pogovorom o življenju.En: They walked along the path that hugged the lake, amidst cheerful laughter and conversations about life.Sl: Mateja je imela fotoaparat vedno pri roki.En: Mateja always had her camera at hand.Sl: Danes je bil poseben dan.En: Today was a special day.Sl: Bila je odločena, da bo končno posnela popolno fotografijo Blejskega otoka, ki bi ji prinesla zmago na prestižnem fotografskem tekmovanju.En: She was determined to finally capture the perfect photograph of Blejski otok that would win her the prestigious photography competition.Sl: "Ob tej svetlobi bo posnetek čudovit," je rekla navdušeno ter nastavljala objektiv.En: "In this light, the shot will be wonderful," she said enthusiastically, adjusting the lens.Sl: Medtem je Nejc, z naravo v srcu, občudoval ptičje petje in razgibano zelenje okoli njih.En: Meanwhile, Nejc, a nature lover at heart, admired the birdsong and the lush greenery around them.Sl: "Narava je najboljši umetnik," je razmišljal naglas.En: "Nature is the best artist," he thought aloud.Sl: Zala, nova prijateljica, je skrivnostno opazovala okolico.En: Zala, a new friend, mysteriously observed the surroundings.Sl: Njene oči so ujele podrobnosti, ki jih drugi niso opazili.En: Her eyes caught details that others did not notice.Sl: A potem se je zgodilo nekaj nepričakovanega.En: But then something unexpected happened.Sl: Na nebu so se zbrali temni oblaki, veter se je dvignil in zemljo so zajele prve kapljice dežja.En: Dark clouds gathered in the sky, the wind picked up, and the first raindrops started to fall.Sl: Mateja je zavzdihnila.En: Mateja sighed.Sl: Svetloba, ki jo je tako potrebovala, je bila zdaj izgubljena.En: The light she needed so much was now lost.Sl: Dež je vse zapletel.En: The rain had complicated everything.Sl: "Ni važno," je Mateja rekla Pogumno.En: "It doesn't matter," Mateja said bravely.Sl: "Lahko počakamo, da dež preneha ali pa izkoristimo kar imamo.En: "We can wait for the rain to stop or make the most of what we have."Sl: " Nejc je predlagal, da napolnijo pljuča z energijo narave.En: Nejc suggested that they fill their lungs with the energy of nature.Sl: Zala je tiho dodala: "Včasih tiha drama lahko naredi fotografijo močnejšo.En: Zala quietly added, "Sometimes silent drama can make a photograph stronger."Sl: "Mateja je premislila.En: Mateja reconsidered.Sl: Morda je dež prava priložnost.En: Maybe the rain was the right opportunity.Sl: Stala je mirno, nastavila fotoaparat in ujela trenutek, ko so dežne kaplje nežno padle na površino jezera, medtem ko so oblaki ustvarjali jarek kontrast in skrivnostno svetlobo.En: She stood still, adjusted her camera, and captured the moment when raindrops gently fell on the lake's surface, while the clouds created a stark contrast and mysterious light.Sl: Ko je bila nevihta mimo, so vsi trije sedeli ob obali.En: When the storm was over, all three sat by the shore.Sl: Mateja je pregledovala posnetke.En: Mateja reviewed the shots.Sl: Ena izmed fotografij se je še posebej zasvetila.En: One of the photographs particularly stood out.Sl: Bilo je nekaj čarobnega v njej.En: There was something magical about it.Sl: Pogledala je prijatelje in rekla: "To je tisto!En: She looked at her friends and said, "This is it!Sl: Dež in svetloba—popolna harmonija.En: Rain and light—a perfect harmony."Sl: "Fotografijo je poslala na tekmovanje.En: She sent the photograph to the competition.Sl: Ne le, da je bila izbrana med finalistke, postala je simbol Matejine nove smeri.En: Not only was it selected among the finalists, it became a symbol of Mateja's new direction.Sl: Naučila se je videti lepoto v nepopolnostih in sprejeti izzive z odprtimi rokami.En: She learned to see the beauty in imperfections and to embrace challenges with open arms.Sl: Zala, s svojim skrivnostnim nasmehom, je pokimala v odobravanju.En: Zala, with her mysterious smile, nodded in approval.Sl: V tihi radosti so sedeli ob jezeru.En: In silent joy, they sat by the lake.Sl: Mateja je zdaj vedela, da nemirni oblak prinaša nove priložnosti.En: Mateja now knew that a restless cloud brings new opportunities.Sl: In to je bil začetek njenega umetniškega potovanja in odkritja, da lepota ni vedno v perfekciji, ampak v trenutku, ko se znajdeš, kamor najmanj pričakuješ.En: And this was the beginning of her artistic journey and the discovery that beauty is not always in perfection, but in the moment you find yourself in the unexpected.

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
