Story Transcript:Sl: V poletnem jutru je bilo v Narodnem akvariju Slovenije prijetno hladno.En: On a summer morning, it was pleasantly cool at the Narodni akvarij Slovenije (National Aquarium of Slovenia).Sl: Veliki akvariji so razprostirali različne vrste morskih bitij pred očmi radovednih obiskovalcev.En: Large aquariums displayed various types of sea creatures before the eyes of curious visitors.Sl: Anže, mlad in živahen ljubitelj živali, je obiskal akvarij z enim samim ciljem.En: Anže, a young and lively animal lover, visited the aquarium with one goal.Sl: Njegova zlata ribica, Glimmer, se je nekako znašla v velikem akvariju in Anže je bil prepričan, da je bila določena za velike stvari.En: His goldfish, Glimmer, had somehow found itself in the large aquarium, and Anže was convinced it was destined for big things.Sl: Teja, Anžetova prijateljica, ga je spremljala med vsemi mogočimi vodnimi tanki.En: Teja, Anže's friend, accompanied him through all the possible water tanks.Sl: "Anže, si prepričan, da je tvoj Glimmer tu notri?En: "Are you sure your Glimmer is in there?"Sl: " je vprašala skeptično.En: she asked skeptically.Sl: Miha, njun prijatelj, je bil tudi prisoten, medtem ko je fotografiral raznolike ribe na ogled.En: Miha, their friend, was also present, photographing the diverse fish on display.Sl: Da, Anže je bil prepričan.En: Yes, Anže was sure.Sl: "Počakaj, ko vidiš Glimmer.En: "Wait until you see Glimmer.Sl: Ima poseben trik, ko zavrti trikrat okoli sebe," je pojasnil s ponosom.En: She has a special trick where she spins around three times," he explained with pride.Sl: Kmalu so se ustavili pred velikanskim tankom, kjer se je zdelo, da plava tisoče rib.En: Soon they stopped in front of a gigantic tank where it seemed thousands of fish were swimming.Sl: Anže je prosil osebje akvarija, a so morali biti prepričani.En: Anže asked the aquarium staff for assistance, but they needed to be convinced.Sl: Niso dovolili, da vstopi v območje tanka brez dokaza.En: They wouldn't allow him to enter the tank area without proof.Sl: "Kako lahko dokažem, da je ribica res moja?En: "How can I prove that the fish is really mine?"Sl: " je vprašal Anže osebje.En: Anže asked the staff.Sl: Osebje se je le mile volje nasmehnilo in zamahnilo z roko.En: The staff just smiled kindly and waved dismissively.Sl: Toda Anže se ni dal.En: But Anže didn't give up.Sl: Zamišljen je stal pred tankom in po glavi so mu rojile ideje.En: He stood thoughtfully in front of the tank, ideas buzzing in his head.Sl: Nato se je nenadoma spomnil Glimmerjevega trika.En: Then he suddenly remembered Glimmer's trick.Sl: "Teja, Miha, potrebujem vajino pomoč," je rekel odločno.En: "Teja, Miha, I need your help," he said decisively.Sl: "Moramo preusmeriti pozornost vseh na Glimmer.En: "We need to draw everyone's attention to Glimmer."Sl: "Miha je pripravil svojo kamero, Teja je začela razlagati mimoidočim o posebni ribici z neverjetnim trikom.En: Miha prepared his camera, and Teja began explaining to passersby about the special fish with the incredible trick.Sl: Zbralo se je vedno več ljudi.En: More and more people gathered.Sl: V trenutku kaosa se je zgodilo.En: In a moment of chaos, it happened.Sl: Glimmer je začel izvajati svoje kroge v vodi.En: Glimmer began to perform her circles in the water.Sl: Trikrat se je zavrtela, kot da bi vedela, da je Anže tu.En: She spun three times as if she knew Anže was there.Sl: Obiskovalci so se zbrali okoli tanka in opazovali čudež.En: Visitors gathered around the tank to witness the marvel.Sl: "To je ona!En: "That's her!Sl: To je res Glimmer!En: That's really Glimmer!"Sl: " je vzkliknil Anže veselo.En: Anže exclaimed joyfully.Sl: Osebje akvarija je bilo presenečeno nad odzivom ribice in po posvetu so Anžetu pomagali, da je Glimmer varno prišla nazaj k njemu.En: The aquarium staff was surprised by the fish's response, and after deliberation, they helped Anže safely get Glimmer back to him.Sl: Anže je bil navdušen.En: Anže was thrilled.Sl: Zahvalil se je osebju tako, da je organiziral uradno in varno predstavo Glimmer za obiskovalce akvarija.En: He thanked the staff by organizing an official and safe performance of Glimmer for the aquarium visitors.Sl: Ljudje so govorili o hrabri in bistri ribici, ki je s svojim trikom očarala množico.En: People talked about the brave and clever fish that enchanted the crowd with her trick.Sl: S to pustolovščino je Anže pridobil več samozavesti in zgodbo, ki jo bo lahko delil še dolgo.En: With this adventure, Anže gained more confidence and a story he could share for a long time.Sl: Posledična smešna zgodba o Glimmer je postala stalnica med njegovimi prijatelji, medtem ko je akvarij postal posebno mesto, kjer se je vse skupaj začelo.En: The resulting humorous story about Glimmer became a staple among his friends, while the aquarium became a special place where it all began.

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.

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
