Njegove kamnite stene in skrivnostni hodniki že stoletja čuvajo zgodbe preteklosti.En: Its stone walls and mysterious corridors have guarded the stories of the past for centuries.Sl: Po ozkih poteh, ki vijugajo mimo gradu, so hodili dijaki osnovne šole, med njimi Milan in Jasna.En: Along the narrow paths winding past the castle walked the students of an elementary school, among them Milan and Jasna.Sl: Bilo je poletje, sonce je sijalo in grad je zapeljivo vabil s svojo hladno notranjostjo.En: It was summer, the sun was shining, and the castle seductively invited with its cool interior.Sl: Milan, ki je v srcu nosil ljubezen do zgodovine, je z odprtimi očmi gledal vse okoli sebe.En: Milan, who held a love for history in his heart, looked around with wide-open eyes.Sl: "Jasna, si že slišala za skrivni tunel pod gradom?En: "Jasna, have you heard about the secret tunnel under the castle?"Sl: " je šepnil nestrpno.En: he whispered eagerly.Sl: Jasna ga je previdno pogledala.En: Jasna looked at him cautiously.Sl: "Milan, učiteljica je rekla, da moramo ostati s skupino.En: "Milan, the teacher said we must stay with the group.Sl: Ne smemo tvegati.En: We shouldn't take risks."Sl: "A Milan je bil le preveč radoveden.En: But Milan was just too curious.Sl: Glasovi so odmevali po hodnikih, toda nekaj ga je vleklo proti neznanemu.En: Voices echoed through the corridors, yet something pulled him toward the unknown.Sl: Šepet, ki ga je samo on slišal, ga je spodbujal.En: A whisper, which only he could hear, encouraged him.Sl: "Samo pogledat grem, Jasna.En: "I'll just take a look, Jasna.Sl: Ti ostani, če hočeš.En: You stay if you want."Sl: "Jasna je stisnila ustnice.En: Jasna pursed her lips.Sl: Vedela je, da bo Milan šel ne glede na vse.En: She knew that Milan would go no matter what.Sl: "Prav," je vzdihnila.En: "Alright," she sighed.Sl: "Pojdem s teboj, da te pazim.En: "I'll go with you to keep an eye on you."Sl: "V tistem trenutku sta se iz skupine odtihotapila navzdol po ohlajenem hodniku.En: At that moment, they quietly slipped away from the group down the chilled corridor.Sl: Pogumna in previdna, Milan in Jasna sta našla vhod v temno in ozko pot.En: Brave and cautious, Milan and Jasna found the entrance to the dark and narrow path.Sl: Milan je držal baterijsko svetilko.En: Milan held a flashlight.Sl: Stene tunela so bile gladke, a prastare.En: The walls of the tunnel were smooth, yet ancient.Sl: Zrak je dišal po vlažnem kamnu.En: The air smelled of damp stone.Sl: "Uau, glej to!En: "Wow, look at this!"Sl: " je zašepetal Milan in usmeril svetlobo na nenavaden artefakt.En: Milan whispered, pointing the light at an unusual artifact.Sl: "Je to morda del starega zaklada?En: "Could this be part of an old treasure?"Sl: "Jasna je vse bolj postajala nemirna.En: Jasna grew increasingly uneasy.Sl: "Lepo te prosim, pojdiva nazaj.En: "Please, let's go back.Sl: Morda smo že predaleč.En: We might have gone too far."Sl: "Milanov obraz je kazal rahlo negotovost, a hkrati tudi ponos.En: Milan's face showed slight uncertainty but also pride.Sl: "Prav, gremo nazaj.En: "Alright, let's go back.Sl: Saj nočem, da se izgubiva.En: I don't want us to get lost."Sl: "A pot nazaj je bila temačna in zapletena.En: But the way back was dark and complicated.Sl: Koraki so postali hitrejši, srci sta jima razbijali vedno hitreje.En: Their steps became faster, their hearts pounded ever quicker.Sl: Tema v tunelu se je zdela neskončna.En: The darkness in the tunnel seemed endless.Sl: Nato je brenčanje glasov zvenelo bližje.En: Then the buzzing of voices sounded nearer.Sl: Zdelo se je, kot da sta hodila ure, preden sta končno zagledala svetlobo hodnika gradu.En: It seemed like they had walked for hours before they finally saw the light of the castle corridor.Sl: S tihimi koraki sta se znova pridružila skupini tik pred koncem ogleda.En: With silent steps, they rejoined the group just before the tour ended.Sl: Noben učitelj niti sošolec ni opazil njune kratke pustolovščine.En: No teacher or classmate noticed their brief adventure.Sl: Med potjo nazaj je Milan premišljeval.En: On the way back, Milan pondered.Sl: "Jasna, morda je prav, da poslušamo, kaj nam govorijo.En: "Jasna, maybe it's right to listen to what we're told.Sl: Ampak to je bila pustolovščina, kajne?En: But it was an adventure, wasn't it?"Sl: "Jasna se mu je nasmehnila.En: Jasna smiled at him.Sl: "Ja, a v naslednjič raje pridi če ne greva predaleč.En: "Yes, but next time, let's not go too far."Sl: "Ko sta zapuščala grad, ju je sončni zahod spremljal, kot da naslavlja novo prijateljstvo, obogateno z novo izkušnjo.En: As they left the castle, the sunset accompanied them, as if heralding a new friendship enriched with a new experience.Sl: Milan je odkril, da je biti včasih previden lahko modro, Jasna pa je okusila sladkost avanture.En: Milan discovered that being cautious can be wise at times, and Jasna tasted the sweetness of adventure.

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
