Bala sem se, kaj boš mislil o meni."En: But I was so afraid... Afraid of what you would think of me."Sl: Anže je čakal.En: Anže waited.Sl: Čutil je, kako ljudje okoli njiju praznujejo, polni smeha in veselja zaradi velikonočnih praznikov.En: He felt how people around them celebrated, full of laughter and joy because of Easter holidays.Sl: Toda zdaj je bila pomembna le njuna povezanost in resnica, ki je morala na dan.En: But now, only their connection and the truth that needed to come out were important.Sl: Živa je nežno ujela njegove roke.En: Živa gently caught his hands.Sl: "Imam preteklost, ki sem jo želela pozabiti.En: "I have a past that I wanted to forget.Sl: Nisem vedela, kako bi ti povedala.En: I didn’t know how to tell you.Sl: Boji me, da bi izgubila vse, kar imava."En: I’m afraid of losing everything we have."Sl: Anže jo je stisnil za roke in z očmi, polnimi razumevanja, je dejal:En: Anže squeezed her hands and, with eyes full of understanding, said:Sl: "Ni ti treba sama nositi tega bremena, Živa.En: "You don’t have to carry this burden alone, Živa.Sl: Skupaj bomo našli pot.En: Together, we’ll find a way.Sl: Iskrenost naju lahko le še bolj poveže."En: Honesty can only connect us more."Sl: S postopnim nasmehom, ki je razsvetlil njen obraz, je Živa začutila olajšanje.En: With a gradual smile that lit up her face, Živa felt relief.Sl: Končno je začela deliti svojo zgodbo, o preteklosti, ki jo je bila poskušala zanikati, a sedaj je našla pogum, da jo sooči.En: She finally began sharing her story, about a past she had tried to deny, but now found the courage to face.Sl: Anžetova podpora ji je dala moč, da se je odprla.En: Anže’s support gave her the strength to open up.Sl: Na koncu njunega pogovora je bilo jasno, da sta oba zrasla – Anže v svojem pogumu in želji po neovirani povezavi, Živa v sposobnosti biti ranljiva in iskrena.En: By the end of their conversation, it was clear they had both grown—Anže in his courage and desire for an open connection, Živa in the ability to be vulnerable and honest.Sl: Pomlad v Ljubljani in njuni duši je bila svetlejša, svet obetov za prihodnost pa se je razprostiral pred njima, kakor mesto pod Nebotičnikom.En: Spring in Ljubljana and in their souls was brighter, the world of possibilities for the future stretched out before them, like the city below the Nebotičnik.Sl: Na obzorju so zvonili zvonovi Velike noči, ki so prinašali novo upanje in spodbudo, da je resnica vedno pot do močne ljubezni in prijateljstva.En: On the horizon, the bells of Easter chimed, bringing new hope and encouragement that truth is always the path to strong love and friendship.

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
