loudly as he stepped into the middle of the group.Sl: Ko je prišel njegov trenutek, je Miha okleval.En: When his moment came, Miha hesitated.Sl: Zdelo se mu je, da se mu svet vrti.En: It seemed like the world was spinning around him.Sl: A nato je zaslišal Tadejin prijazen glas: "Miha, ti to zmoreš!En: But then he heard Tadeja's friendly voice: "Miha, you can do this!"Sl: " Z nasmehom ga je spodbudila.En: She encouraged him with a smile.Sl: V tistem trenutku je Miha začutil, kako se je val poguma prelomil vanj.En: At that moment, Miha felt a wave of courage break over him.Sl: Globoko je vdihnil in spregovoril.En: He took a deep breath and spoke.Sl: Besede so mu gladko pritekle z ustnic.En: The words flowed smoothly from his lips.Sl: Med vajo se je smejal, govoril, in navduševal ostale.En: During the exercise, he laughed, spoke, and impressed the others.Sl: Ko je zaključil, ga je soba napolnila z aplavzom.En: When he finished, the room filled with applause.Sl: Tadeja je

coast, the sun already setting.Sl: "Hvala," je tihim glasom rekel Miha.En: "Thank you," Miha said in a soft voice.Sl: "Vedno sem tukaj, če potrebuješ prijatelja," je odgovorila Tadeja in ga prijela za roko.En: "I'm always here if you need a friend," Tadeja replied, taking his hand.Sl: Tistega večera je Miha sedel na pomolu in opazoval valove, ki so se nežno razbijali ob obalo.En: That evening, Miha

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
