Story Transcript:Sl: Jure je imel idejo.En: Jure had an idea.Sl: Organizirati popoln piknik za svoje prijatelje.En: To organize the perfect picnic for his friends.Sl: Pomlad se je lepo začela.En: Spring had begun beautifully.Sl: Vse je cvetelo, in sončno jutro na Bledu ni moglo biti bolje.En: Everything was blooming, and a sunny morning in Bled couldn't have been better.Sl: Marjeta in Vid sta se veselo smejala, ko so prispeli na travnik ob jezeru, obkroženi s turisti, ki so uživali v velikonočnih praznikih.En: Marjeta and Vid laughed happily as they arrived at the meadow by the lake, surrounded by tourists enjoying the Easter holidays.Sl: Jure je želel ustvariti poseben trenutek, posebej za Marjeto.En: Jure wanted to create a special moment, especially for Marjeta.Sl: »Poglej, Jure je resnicno načrtoval vse,« je Marjeta rekla, ko je videla pokrito piknik odejo in košaro s prigrizki.En: "Look, Jure really planned everything," Marjeta said when she saw the picnic blanket covered and the basket full of snacks.Sl: »Ja, naš Jure je poln presenečenj,« se je pošalil Vid, medtem ko je srkal limonado.En: "Yes, our Jure is full of surprises," joked Vid, while sipping lemonade.Sl: Sončni žarki so se lesketali na gladini jezera, kjer so labodi mirno plavali.En: The sun's rays glistened on the lake's surface, where swans swam peacefully.Sl: Potem pa je eden od njih z zanimanjem opazoval druščino na travniku.En: Then one of them observed the group on the meadow with interest.Sl: Bil je bel labod, in ko je opazil, da jeJure odložil košaro, je priplaval bližje.En: It was a white swan, and when it noticed Jure setting down the basket, it swam closer.Sl: »O, poglejta!En: "Oh, look!Sl: Labod!En: A swan!Sl: Kako fascinantno je blizu,« je rekla Marjeta in se približala vodi.En: How fascinatingly close," Marjeta said, approaching the water.Sl: Labod, očitno prebrisan, je zaplaval še bližje in nato, kot da bi bil nakoval načrt, zagrabil krušno žemljo iz košare.En: The swan, apparently clever, swam even closer and then, as if it had devised a plan, grabbed a bread roll from the basket.Sl: Marjeta je hitro stopila korak nazaj, presenečena.En: Marjeta quickly stepped back, surprised.Sl: Vid se je zasmejal: »Naš Jure bo zdaj moral pokazati svoj junak!En: Vid laughed: "Our Jure will have to show his heroics now!"Sl: «Jure, ki je bil sprva šokiran, se je hitro zbral.En: Jure, who was initially shocked, quickly gathered himself.Sl: »Morali bomo preusmeriti laboda,« je rekel z odločnim glasom.En: "We need to distract the swan," he said decisively.Sl: Pogledal je naokrog in našel nekaj kruha, ki ga je imel še skritega.En: He looked around and found some bread he had kept hidden.Sl: »Tega pa mu ne bova dala preprosto,« je kratko komentirala Marjeta in začela omahovati krušne drobtine na drugo stran.En: "We won't give it to him so easily," Marjeta commented shortly and started scattering bread crumbs on the other side.Sl: Vid je med smehom spodbujal: »Dajmo Jure, pokaži svoje talente!En: Vid encouraged with laughter: "Come on Jure, show your talents!"Sl: «A labod, preveč prebrisan, je zgrabil celotno košaro in začel plavati stran.En: But the swan, too clever, grabbed the entire basket and started swimming away.Sl: Prijatelji so ostali brez sape.En: The friends were left breathless.Sl: Na hitro so skočili in začeli loviti laboda okoli jezera.En: They quickly jumped up and began chasing the swan around the lake.Sl: Vid je predlagal: »Zapeljimo ga na obalo in ga tam ujemo!En: Vid suggested: "Let's guide him to the shore and catch him there!"Sl: «Marjeta je tekla naprej in se postavila v pozicijo, Jure je metal drobtine, Vid pa je medtem budno spremljal situacijo.En: Marjeta ran ahead and positioned herself, Jure tossed crumbs, while Vid watched the situation closely.Sl: Po nekaj minutah hitrega teka in smeha, so končno uspeli laboda prepričati, da spusti košaro.En: After a few minutes of fast running and laughter, they finally managed to convince the swan to drop the basket.Sl: Sledila je povsem nova piknik izkušnja.En: A completely new picnic experience followed.Sl: Kljub neki izgubi hrane so prijatelji sedeli skupaj in se smejali.En: Despite some loss of food, the friends sat together and laughed.Sl: »No, Jure, to je bil najbolj zabaven piknik!En: "Well, Jure, this was the most fun picnic!Sl: Bravo,« je rekla Marjeta in ga prijateljsko udarila po rami.En: Bravo," said Marjeta and gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder.Sl: »Pouka: Vse, kar potrebuješ, je dober smeh s prijatelji,« je zaključil Vid.En: "The lesson: All you need is a good laugh with friends," concluded Vid.Sl: Jure je spoznal, da ni popolnost tista, ki naredi dan krasen, temveč ljudje okoli njega.En: Jure realized that it isn't perfection that makes a day great, but the people around him.Sl: Popoln trenutek je bil prav ta, s smehom in labodom, ki je skušal ugonobiti njihovo kosilo.En: The perfect moment was exactly this one, with laughter and a swan trying to disrupt their lunch.

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
