Story Transcript:Sl: V mrzlem zimskem jutru, sredi pustne sezone, je trojica prijateljev stala na začetku svoje pustolovščine.En: On a cold winter morning, in the midst of carnival season, a trio of friends stood at the beginning of their adventure.Sl: Mateja, zgodovinarka z žarom v očeh, je pogledala proti Predjamskemu gradu.En: Mateja, a historian with a sparkle in her eyes, looked towards Predjamski Castle.Sl: Njeni sopotniki, Jure in Ana, sta stala ob njej.En: Her companions, Jure and Ana, stood next to her.Sl: Snežni vihar je zavijal okoli njih, toda Mateja je bila odločena.En: A snowstorm swirled around them, but Mateja was determined.Sl: Njihov cilj je bil jasen: odkriti skrito sobo, ki naj bi, po legendi, skrivala starodavne artefakte.En: Their goal was clear: to discover a hidden room, which, according to legend, concealed ancient artifacts.Sl: Grad Predjama je trdno stal na svojih kamnitih temeljih, obdan od zasneženega gozda.En: Predjama Castle stood firmly on its stone foundations, surrounded by a snowy forest.Sl: Po pripovedih je grad skril številne skrivnosti, in Mateja je želela odkriti eno najvznemirljivejših.En: According to tales, the castle hid many secrets, and Mateja wanted to uncover one of the most thrilling among them.Sl: Jure, opremljen s fotoaparatom, je imel zadržke.En: Jure, equipped with a camera, had reservations.Sl: "Slišal sem, da lokalci proti temu opozarjajo med Pustom," je dejal, medtem ko so stopali proti vhodu.En: "I've heard the locals warn against this during Pust," he said as they walked towards the entrance.Sl: Ana je bila polna upanja in vznemirjenja.En: Ana was full of hope and excitement.Sl: "Mora biti nekaj posebnega, če to počnemo ravno zdaj!En: "It must be something special if we're doing it right now!"Sl: " Nasmehnila se je, poskušajoč razbremeniti napetost.En: She smiled, trying to ease the tension.Sl: Sneg je začel močneje padati, ko so vstopili v hladne, vlažne hodnike gradu.En: The snow began to fall more heavily as they entered the cold, damp corridors of the castle.Sl: Mateja je imela načrt.En: Mateja had a plan.Sl: "Strinjaš se, da raziskujemo, tudi če nas opozarjajo," je trdno dejala.En: "Agree that we will explore, even if we are warned," she stated firmly.Sl: Bal se je opazovanja lokalcev, vendar se je držal svoje zaveze Mateji.En: He was afraid of the locals' observance but remained committed to Mateja.Sl: Ana je stopila naprej z radovednostjo, ki jo je navdihoval legendarni Erazem Lueger.En: Ana stepped forward with curiosity, inspired by the legendary Erazem Lueger.Sl: Zaradi zvokov viharja se zdi grad še bolj zlovešč, toda njihova odločnost jih je gnala naprej.En: The sounds of the storm made the castle seem even more ominous, but their determination pushed them forward.Sl: Ko so se prebijali skozi ozke prehode, je Mateja nenadoma obstala pred starodavno steno.En: As they made their way through narrow passages, Mateja suddenly stopped in front of an ancient wall.Sl: Pogledala je skrivnostne simbole, vrezane v kamen.En: She looked at the mysterious symbols carved into the stone.Sl: Z občutkom napetosti in pričakovanja je pritisnila na enega izmed kamnov.En: With a sense of tension and anticipation, she pressed one of the stones.Sl: Zbornik se je zasukal in odprla se je prej skrita soba.En: The panel rotated, revealing a previously hidden room.Sl: Vendar je sprožitev mehanizma povzročila, da se je del kastelarnice zrušil.En: However, triggering the mechanism caused a section of the battlements to collapse.Sl: Snežni prah se je pomešal z viharjem, ustvarjajoč skoraj magično atmosfero.En: Snow dust mixed with the storm, creating an almost magical atmosphere.Sl: Zdaj so bili peščeni, vendar nedotaknjeni.En: Now they were shaken, but unharmed.Sl: Medtem ko so se hiteli umakniti nazaj na varno, so zagledali majhen lesen skrinjico, ki je razkrila dokumente in artefakte, povezane s preteklostjo gradu.En: As they hurried back to safety, they caught sight of a small wooden chest, revealing documents and artifacts related to the castle's past.Sl: Mateja se je zavedla pomena svoje najdbe.En: Mateja realized the significance of her discovery.Sl: Kljub nevarnostim, je nova odkritja pomenila njeno prihodnjo slavo v zgodovinskih krogih.En: Despite the dangers, the new findings meant future fame for her in historical circles.Sl: Utrujeni, a zadovoljni, so se poslovili od Predjamskega gradu.En: Tired but satisfied, they bid farewell to Predjamski Castle.Sl: Snežena nevihta se je še vedno vrtela okoli njih, vendar so vedeli, da jih čaka toplo zatočišče v bližnji vasi.En: The snowstorm still swirled around them, but they knew a warm shelter awaited them in the nearby village.Sl: Mateja se je ozrla nazaj proti gradu in se zavedla, da bi bilo morda pametno prisluhniti časih lokalnim opozorilom.En: Mateja glanced back at the castle and realized it might be wise to sometimes heed the local warnings.Sl: V prihodnje bo bolj previdna, a njen raziskovalni duh je ostal neomajen.En: In the future, she would be more cautious, but her exploratory spirit remained unyielding.

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
