coming day was particularly warm and sunny.Sl: Popoldne, ko so ulice starega mestnega jedra vrvele od življenja, so sedeli trije prijatelji v majhni kavarnici "Pri Zlati skodelici".En: In the afternoon, when the streets of the old town center were bustling with life, three friends were sitting in a small cafe, "Pri Zlati skodelici".Sl: Kavarna je bila prijetna, z lesenimi mizami in vintage dekorjem.En: The cafe was cozy, with wooden tables and vintage decor.Sl: Vzdušje je bilo pomirjujoče, idealno za načrtovanje velikega poletnega potovanja.En: The atmosphere was soothing, ideal for planning a great summer trip.Sl: Matija je bil vznemirjen.En: Matija was excited.Sl: "Prijatelji, to bo naša najboljša dogodivščina doslej!En: "Friends, this will be our best adventure yet!"Sl: " je rekel z iskrico v očeh.En: he said with a sparkle in his eyes.Sl: Anja in Bojan sta sedela z njim za isto mizo.En: Anja and Bojan sat with him at the same table.Sl: Oba sta pila svoji skodelici vroče kave.En: They were both drinking their cups of hot coffee.Sl: Anja je nežno položila roko na papir, kjer so zapisovali kraje, ki jih želijo obiskati.En: Anja gently placed her hand on the paper where they were writing down the places they wanted to visit.Sl: "Pomembno je, da smo dobro organizirani in varni," je rekla.En: "It's important that we stay well-organized and safe," she said.Sl: Njena narava je bila vedno premišljena.En: Her nature was always thoughtful.Sl: Bojan se je nasmehnil, a ni rekel ničesar.En: Bojan smiled but said nothing.Sl: Zaskrbljen je bil zaradi stroškov poti.En: He was worried about the cost of the trip.Sl: Matija je opazil Bojanov tišino.En: Matija noticed Bojan's silence.Sl: "Morda bi morali zmanjšati nekaj stroškov," je predlagal.En: "Maybe we should cut down on some expenses," he suggested.Sl: "Lahko obiščemo nekaj kampov in prespimo v šotorih.En: "We can visit a few campsites and sleep in tents."Sl: " Njegov glas je bil poln upanja.En: His voice was full of hope.Sl: Bojan se je končno oglasil: "To se sliši dobro.En: Bojan finally spoke up: "That sounds good."Sl: " Počutil se je lažje, ko je videl, da sta njegova prijatelja razumela njegovo tiho skrb.En: He felt relieved to see that his friends understood his silent concern.Sl: Anja se je nasmehnila.En: Anja smiled.Sl: "Naredimo načrt z vsemi podrobnostmi," je rekla in iz torbe vzela zvezek in svinčnik.En: "Let's make a plan with all the details," she said, taking a notebook and pencil from her bag.Sl: "Dodala bom tudi kontakte v sili, če bi kaj šlo narobe.En: "I'll also add emergency contacts in case something goes wrong."Sl: "Ravno ko so se poglobili v načrtovanje in pili kavo, se je z neba začela dvigovati nevihta.En: Just as they delved into planning and drinking coffee, a storm began to rise from the sky.Sl: Nebo je potemnelo, veter je zavil in dež je začel bobneti po oknih.En: The sky darkened, the wind howled, and rain started pounding against the windows.Sl: Nenadoma so se luči v kavarni ugasnile.En: Suddenly, the lights in the cafe went out.Sl: Nastopila je tema.En: Darkness ensued.Sl: Matija, Anja in Bojan so se spogledali, najprej nekoliko zaskrbljeni.En: Matija, Anja, and Bojan looked at each other, initially a bit worried.Sl: Toda nato je Matija pretrgal tišino z smehom.En: But then Matija broke the silence with a laugh.Sl: "No, zdi se, da imamo prvo pustolovščino kar tukaj," je rekel šaljivo.En: "Well, it seems we have our first adventure right here," he said jokingly.Sl: Začeli so improvizirati, prižgali so baterijsko svetilko iz Matijevega nahrbtnika in smejali so se situaciji.En: They began to improvise, turning on a flashlight from Matija's backpack and laughed at the situation.Sl: Klepetali so v temi, delili zgodbe in šale.En: They chatted in the dark, sharing stories and jokes.Sl: Bojan je povedal nekaj svojih najljubših anekdot, vsi so se smejali do solz.En: Bojan told some of his favorite anecdotes, and everyone laughed until they had tears in their eyes.Sl: Ura je minevala in kmalu so oblaki minili.En: Time passed, and soon the clouds cleared.Sl: Luči so se spet prižgale, veter pa se je umiril.En: The lights came back on, and the wind calmed down.Sl: Ko so se vrnili k svojim načrtom, je bilo kot da so zaživeli še globljo povezanost.En: When they returned to their planning, it seemed like they had formed an even deeper bond.Sl: Matija je čutil, da je postal bolj premišljen do svojih prijateljev.En: Matija felt that he had become more considerate of his friends.Sl: Anja je ugotovila, da je včasih povsem v redu, če načrte vodi spontanost.En: Anja realized that sometimes it's perfectly fine if spontaneity leads the plans.Sl: Bojan pa je spoznal, da ima podporo prijateljev pri premagovanju skrbi.En: Bojan discovered that he had the support of his friends in overcoming worries.Sl: Počutili so se pripravljeni na svoj poletni izlet.En: They felt ready for their summer trip.Sl: Ne zaradi brezhibnega načrta, ampak zaradi tega, da so skupaj premagali nevihto.En: Not because of a flawless plan, but because they had weathered the storm together.Sl: Prijateljstvo je bila njihova največja pustolovščina.En: Friendship was their greatest 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
