Verjamem vate."En: Simona stood by his side, squeezed his shoulder, and said, "Miha, you can do it. I believe in you."Sl: A njene besede so bile zadržane, kot da jih je s težavo izrekala.En: But her words were restrained, as if she had difficulty saying them.Sl: Bila je strastna trenerka, vedno je želela najboljše za svoje varovance.En: She was a passionate coach, always wanting the best for her trainees.Sl: Tine, njegov tekmovalni kolega, je bil malo naprej.En: Tine, his fellow competitor, was a little ahead.Sl: Neprestano je preverjal veslo, kot da bi želel zagotoviti, da je vse perfektno.En: He kept checking his oar, as if he wanted to make sure everything was perfect.Sl: "Miha, danes je naš dan. Pokažimo, kaj zmoremo!"En: "Miha, today is our day. Let%27s show what we%27re made of!"Sl: Njegov glas je bil navdušen, a v njem je bila čutiti tekmovalnost.En: His voice was enthusiastic, but one could sense the competitiveness in it.Sl: Miha je čutil pritisk.En: Miha felt the pressure.Sl: Želel je zmagati.En: He wanted to win.Sl: Ne samo za ekipo, ampak za sebe.En: Not just for the team, but for himself.Sl: V sebi je nosil dvom.En: Inside, he carried doubt.Sl: Spraševal se je, ali bo zdržal in ali bo dosegel, kar si je zadal.En: He wondered if he would withstand and achieve what he set out to do.Sl: Ko se je regata začela, so se čolni zagnali po gladini.En: When the regatta began, boats surged over the surface.Sl: Miha je veslal močno, ob njem pa Tine, ki je klical v podporo.En: Miha rowed strongly, with Tine beside him, calling out encouragement.Sl: "Dajmo, Miha!" Je zavpil Tine med zaveslaji.En: "Come on, Miha!" shouted Tine between strokes.Sl: Voda je pljuskala okoli njiju, zrak je bil napet.En: Water splashed around them, the air was tense.Sl: Bližali so se zadnjemu raztežaju.En: They approached the final stretch.Sl: Miha je čutil utrujenost, vendar tudi nekaj drugega — možnost.En: Miha felt fatigue, but also something else—possibility.Sl: Prišlo je do trenutka, ko je moral izbrati.En: A moment came when he had to choose.Sl: Bo poslušal strahove ali zaupal svojim sposobnostim?En: Would he listen to his fears or trust his abilities?Sl: S pogledom na Simono, ki jih je spremljala s pomola, je Miha zbral vso moč.En: Looking at Simona, who was watching from the pier, Miha gathered all his strength.Sl: Pomislil je, kako zelo si želi te zmage.En: He thought about how much he wanted this victory.Sl: Pritisnil je še močneje, ko je iz vode zajel zadnji zalet.En: He pushed even harder, taking the final surge from the water.Sl: Zdi se, kot da celotno jezero zadržuje dih.En: It seemed as if the entire lake held its breath.Sl: Ko so prečkali ciljno črto, je Miha zaznal zvoke aplavza.En: When they crossed the finish line, Miha heard the sounds of applause.Sl: Bili so prvi.En: They had come in first.Sl: Zmagali so!En: They won!Sl: Tine je navdušeno skočil ter objel Miha.En: Tine jumped excitedly and hugged Miha.Sl: Simona jim je pomahala z obale z nasmehom, polnim ponosa.En: Simona waved from the shore with a smile full of pride.Sl: V tistem trenutku je Miha spoznal, kako pomembna sta samozavest in ekipno delo.En: In that moment, Miha realized how important self-confidence and teamwork are.Sl: Njegov strah je izginil, nadomestil ga je občutek pripadnosti in zaupanja.En: His fear disappeared, replaced by a sense of belonging and trust.Sl: Pogledal je gladino jezera Bled in vedel, da je to šele začetek.En: He looked at the surface of Lake Bled and knew that this was just the beginning.Sl: Njegov notranji dvom se je razblinil kot megla nad jezerom ob dvigu prvega sonca.En: His inner doubt dissipated like mist over the lake with the rising of the first sun.Sl: Miha je stal ob jezeru s svojo ekipo in vedel, da lahko premaga vse ovire.En: Miha stood by the lake with his team and knew that they could overcome any obstacles.Sl: Skupaj.En: Together.

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
