the midst of the spring bustle to the central market in Ljubljana.Sl: Sonce je bilo visoko na nebu, zrak je bil poln vonja sveže zelenjave, cvetlic in začimb.En: The sun was high in the sky, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh vegetables, flowers, and spices.Sl: Vse okoli njiju so se prodajalci glasno pogovarjali in ponujali svoje izdelke.En: All around them, vendors were talking loudly, offering their products.Sl: "Moramo narediti nekaj posebnega za predstavitev," je rekla Mateja, medtem ko sta se počasi gibala med stojnicami.En: "We need to do something special for the presentation," said Mateja as they slowly moved among the stalls.Sl: "Učiteljici bo všeč, če bomo uporabili prave lokalne izdelke.En: "The teacher will like it if we use real local products."Sl: "Bojan je bil nekoliko skeptičen.En: Bojan was somewhat skeptical.Sl: "Pomembno je, da imamo dober plan," je poudaril in pogledal na svojo urejeno beležko.En: "It's important that we have a good plan," he emphasized, looking at his neatly organized notebook.Sl: "Ne smemo zanesti samo na kreativnost.En: "We can't rely only on creativity."Sl: "Mateja je zavzdihnila.En: Mateja sighed.Sl: Rada je ustvarjala in improvizirala, a je vedela, da Bojanovo načrtovanje prinaša varnost.En: She loved to create and improvise, but she knew that Bojan's planning brought security.Sl: "Prav, Bojan.En: "Alright, Bojan.Sl: Kaj pa, če poskusiva kombinirati tvoje načrte in moje ideje?En: How about we try to combine your plans and my ideas?"Sl: "Stopila sta do stojnice s svežo zelenjavo.En: They stepped up to a stall with fresh vegetables.Sl: Mateja je zgrabijo šopek živahno rdečih paradižnikov in jih dvignila.En: Mateja grabbed a bunch of vibrant red tomatoes and lifted them.Sl: "Tole lahko

reluctantly.Sl: "Dobro, a moramo tudi ponazoriti sezonskost pridelkov in njihov vpliv," je poudaril.En: "Fine, but we also have to illustrate the seasonality of the produce and its impact," he stressed.Sl: "Če nimamo teh podrobnosti, nas bodo lahko vprašanja presenetila.En: "If we don’t have these details, the questions might surprise us."Sl: "Ko sta se vračala s svojimi nakupi, sta začutila nemir.En: As they were returning with their purchases, they felt restless.Sl: Stres tržnice je bil nalezljiv, vendar sta skupaj uspela najti ravnotežje med kreativnostjo in strukturo.En: The stress of the market was contagious, but together they managed to find a balance between creativity and structure.Sl: Na dan predstavitve sta stopila pred razred.En: On the day of the presentation, they stood before the class.Sl: Zazvonil je urok napetosti, a sta bila pripravljena.En: A spell of tension rang, but they were prepared.Sl: Vendar, ko je Bojan vključil računalnik, tehnika ni delovala po pričakovanju.En: However, when Bojan turned on the computer, the technology did not work as expected.Sl: Skupaj sta si izmenjala panične poglede.En: They exchanged panicked looks.Sl: "Ni panike!En: "No panic!"Sl: " je zašepetala Mateja.En: whispered Mateja.Sl: "Improvizirajmo.En: "Let's improvise.Sl: Uporabimo rekvizite, ki sva jih prinesla.En: Let's use the props we brought."Sl: "Bojan je globoko vdihnil in prikimal.En: Bojan took a deep breath and nodded.Sl: Skupaj sta se zavarovala pred nepričakovano motnjo.En: Together, they protected themselves from the unexpected disruption.Sl: Mateja je začela govoriti o pomladi in lokalnih izdelkih, Bojan pa je s sezonskimi informacijami podprl njene besede.En: Mateja began to talk about spring and local products, while Bojan supported her words with seasonal information.Sl: Njuni gibki prsti so sočasno uredili paradižnike in pisano zelenjavo na mizo.En: Their nimble fingers simultaneously arranged tomatoes and colorful vegetables on the table.Sl: Kljub tehničnim težavam je bila njuna predstavitev edinstvena.En: Despite the technical difficulties, their presentation was unique.Sl: Učiteljica je pohvalila njihovo iznajdljivost in skupinsko delo.En: The teacher praised their ingenuity and teamwork.Sl: "Vidim, da prav vsak od vaju prinaša pomemben element k projektu," je rekla z nasmehom.En: "I see that each of you brings an

head.Sl: "Tvoja je bila ideja o uporabi lokalnih izdelkov.En: "The idea of using local products was yours."Sl: "Tako sta Mateja in Bojan, obkrožena z živahno atmosfero pomladi, spoznala vrednost

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
