Kruh s pršutom, sirom in solato.En: He was happy because he had a perfect snack. Bread with prosciutto, cheese, and lettuce.Sl: Nika in Anže sta stala blizu, občudujeta lepoto jezera.En: Nika and Anže stood nearby, admiring the beauty of the lake.Sl: Naenkrat je velik labod priletel mimo.En: Suddenly, a large swan flew by.Sl: Njegovi beli peruti so se svetili v snežni svetlobi.En: Its white wings shimmered in the snowy light.Sl: Labod se je nenadoma ustavil pred Matejem in, preden se je kdo zavedel, je Matejev sendvič izginil v kljunu laboda.En: The swan suddenly stopped in front of Matej, and before anyone realized, Matej's sandwich disappeared into the swan's beak.Sl: Matej je bil šokiran.En: Matej was shocked.Sl: "Moja kosilo!" je zavpil Matej, hitro vstajajoč.En: "My lunch!" shouted Matej, quickly standing up.Sl: Nika se je zasmejala, a videla resnost v Matejevih očeh. "Potrebujemo načrt," je rekla. "Labod mora vrniti sendvič."En: Nika laughed but saw the seriousness in Matej's eyes. "We need a plan," she said. "The swan must return the sandwich."Sl: Anže, vedno tih opazovalec, je dodal: "To je kot prizor iz komedije. Morda bi morali to posneti." Nato je vzel telefon ter začel snemati dogajanje.En: Anže, always a quiet observer, added, "This is like a scene from a comedy. Maybe we should film it." Then he took out his phone and started recording the scene.Sl: Matej je poskušal laboda prepričati s kosom kruha, vendar je labod plaval dlje proč.En: Matej tried to lure the swan with a piece of bread, but the swan swam further away.Sl: Nika je medtem predlagala zamisel. "Kaj, če bi namestili mrežo, prav tako, kot da je list. Čez vodo."En: Meanwhile, Nika suggested an idea. "What if we set up a net, just like a trap over the water?"Sl: Iz papirja in vrvice so ustvarili improvizirano past.En: They created an improvised trap from paper and string.Sl: Matej je bil skeptičen, a poskusil jo je vseeno postaviti.En: Matej was skeptical but tried to set it up anyway.Sl: Labod pa je bil pametnejši, gladko je plaval okoli pasti.En: However, the swan was smarter and smoothly swam around the trap.Sl: Naenkrat so začeli prihajati mimoidoči, očarani nad dogajanjem.En: Suddenly, passersby began to gather, fascinated by the events.Sl: Eden izmed gledalcev, ribič, je stopil naprej. "Potrebujete pomoč?" je vprašal.En: One of the spectators, a fisherman, stepped forward. "Do you need help?" he asked.Sl: Občinstvo je kazalo zanimanje, ko je ribič s svojo dolgo palico izkušeno zamahnil proti labodu.En: The audience showed interest as the fisherman skillfully swung his long pole toward the swan.Sl: Na koncu je uspel. S pretkanim gibom je izvlekel Matejev sendvič.En: In the end, he succeeded. With a cunning move, he retrieved Matej's sandwich.Sl: Matej je bil navdušen in zahvaljeval ribiča.En: Matej was thrilled and thanked the fisherman.Sl: Njegovi prijatelji so mu mahalno ploskali. Bili so veseli.En: His friends clapped and cheered for him. They were happy.Sl: Matej je pogledal sendvič in se nasmejal. "Počakaj," je rekel, "Mislim, da bi to moral deliti." Vse tri je povabil, naj se mu pridružijo pri malici.En: Matej looked at the sandwich and laughed. "Wait," he said, "I think I should share this." He invited all three to join him for the snack.Sl: Vsi trije so sedli nazaj na klop in delili sendvič, smeh je odmeval po jezeru.En: All three sat back on the bench and shared the sandwich, laughter echoing across the lake.Sl: Naučil se je, da je včasih najlepše deliti trenutke s prijatelji.En: They learned that sometimes the nicest moments are those shared with friends.Sl: Labod je odplaval naprej, zadovoljen s svojo pustolovščino.En: The swan swam away, content with its adventure.Sl: Dan se je nežno končal, s snegom, ki je še naprej padal, in prijatelji, ki so skupaj preživljali še en nepozaben dan na Bledu.En: The day gently came to a close, with the snow continuing to fall and friends enjoying another unforgettable day at Bled.

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.

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
