Tina said excitedly and pushed the door.Sl: Odprla sta jih in vstopila v veliko podzemno sobo.En: They opened it and entered a large underground room.Sl: Na lesenih policah na stenah so žarele sveče, sredi sobe pa je bila velika miza, prekrita z najrazličnejšimi siri.En: On the wooden shelves on the walls, candles glowed, and in the center of the room was a large table covered with various cheeses.Sl: Rok je imel v torbi svoje slovenske sire – tolminc, mohant in goriški bunker.En: Rok had in his bag his Slovenian cheeses—tolminc, mohant, and goriški bunker.Sl: Toda tu je bilo tudi veliko drugih – camembert iz Francije, gorgonzola iz Italije, cheddar iz Anglije.En: But there were many others too—camembert from France, gorgonzola from Italy, cheddar from England.Sl: "Takšna zmešnjava!" je vzkliknil Rok.En: "What a mess!" Rok exclaimed.Sl: "Kako naj se osredotočiva na izmenjavo, če se siri tako mešajo?"En: "How are we supposed to focus on the exchange with the cheeses all mixed up?"Sl: Tina je dvignila gorgonzolo in se zarezala.En: Tina picked up the gorgonzola and grinned.Sl: "Mislim, da bodo naši gostje veseli tudi tega!" je rekla in pomežiknila.En: "I think our guests will be happy with this too!" she said and winked.Sl: "Mogoče bi lahko naredila mali festival sirov!"En: "Maybe we could organize a little cheese festival!"Sl: Nenadoma je padel kos sira na tla.En: Suddenly, a piece of cheese fell to the floor.Sl: In nato še en ... in še en.En: And then another... and another.Sl: Rok in Tina sta poskušala rešiti situacijo, a kmalu se je po sobi valjala cela količina srednje velikih sirnih glav.En: Rok and Tina tried to fix the situation, but soon a whole bunch of medium-sized cheese wheels were rolling across the room.Sl: Zvoki so privabili skupino turistov, ki so s smehom stopili v prostor.En: The sounds attracted a group of tourists, who entered the room laughing.Sl: "Mmm, kako diši!" je vzkliknila ena od gospa.En: "Mmm, how fragrant!" exclaimed one of the ladies.Sl: Rok in Tina sta se spogledala in skupaj sta se zasmejala.En: Rok and Tina looked at each other and laughed together.Sl: "Pa naj bo," je rekel Rok in pokazal na mizo.En: "So be it," said Rok and pointed to the table.Sl: "Pridružite se nam!"En: "Join us!"Sl: Vsa soba se je napolnila s smehom in klepetom, ko so vsi poskušali različne sire.En: The entire room filled with laughter and chatter as everyone tried different cheeses.Sl: Rok je naposled popustil in se nasmehnil: "Mislil sem, da bo to strogo zaupna izmenjava.En: Rok finally relented and smiled: "I thought this would be a strictly confidential exchange.Sl: A morda je boljše deliti."En: But maybe it's better to share."Sl: Tina se je naslonila na mizo in pogledala prijatelja.En: Tina leaned on the table and looked at her friend.Sl: "Vidiš, včasih so najboljše situacije tiste, ki jih nismo načrtovali."En: "You see, sometimes the best situations are those we didn't plan."Sl: In tako sta Rok in Tina zaključila dan.En: And so Rok and Tina concluded the day.Sl: Njuna sprva resna misija je postala vesel dogodek, obogaten s skromnostjo in smehom, kjer sta spoznala, da je vredno deliti svoje strasti z drugimi.En: Their initially serious mission became a joyful event, enriched with modesty and laughter, where they realized it was worth sharing their passions with others.Sl: Vsi so odšli domov bogatejši za eno izkušnjo in, seveda, za okusni kos sira.En: Everyone went home richer for the experience and, of course, with a tasty piece of cheese.

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
