Tomaž asked while observing Maja.Sl: Spodbudna prijaznost ga je prepričala, da ji zaupa.En: Encouraged by his kindness, she was convinced to confide in him.Sl: Povedala mu je o stresu v službi. O občutku izgubljenosti, ki jo je privedel sem.En: She told him about the stress at work, about the feeling of being lost that led her here.Sl: Tomaž ji je nato razkril svojo zgodbo, o svoji želji po novem življenju po srčnem razočaranju.En: Tomaž, in turn, revealed his story, his desire for a new life after a heartbreak.Sl: Občutek srečnosti se je počasi začel širiti med njima.En: A feeling of happiness slowly began to spread between them.Sl: Naključno srečanje pa je postalo nekaj več.En: The chance meeting turned into something more.Sl: Navdihovala sta drug drugega.En: They inspired each other.Sl: Oba sta spoznala, da nista sama v svojih težavah.En: Both realized they were not alone in their troubles.Sl: Ko sta se ločila, sta se dogovorila, da se bosta ponovno srečala.En: When they parted, they agreed to meet again.Sl: Tomaž je končno začutil, da se je začel odpirati novim možnostim in ljudem.En: Tomaž finally felt that he was beginning to open up to new possibilities and people.Sl: Maja je pa našla novo jasnost in mir glede svojih življenjskih odločitev.En: Meanwhile, Maja found new clarity and peace regarding her life decisions.Sl: Blejsko jezero je zdaj nosilo nov pomen – kraj začetkov in upanja.En: Blejsko jezero now held a new meaning—a place of beginnings and hope.

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.

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
