Story Transcript:Sl: Na robu mirnega jezera Bled, kjer se odsev gora in ikonaste cerkve na otoku mehko guga na površini vode, je Jure sedel na klopici.En: On the edge of the peaceful jezero Bled, where the reflection of the mountains and the iconic church on the island softly swayed on the water's surface, Jure sat on a bench.Sl: Zrak je bil spomladansko svež in blag, rahlo sonce je prodiralo skozi krošnje dreves.En: The air was spring-fresh and gentle, with the soft sun filtering through the tree canopies.Sl: Jure je globoko vdihnil in zaprl oči, poskušajoč vpiti vsak trenutek tišine.En: Jure took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to soak in every moment of silence.Sl: Bil je dan, ko je ponovno premleval o njem in Maji.En: It was a day when he once again pondered about himself and Maja.Sl: Ona je sedaj že skoraj pol leta živela v Parizu.En: She had been living in Pariz for almost half a year now.Sl: Študij ji je šel odlično, a njun pogovori so počasi bledeli kot star razglednica.En: Her studies were going excellently, but their conversations had gradually faded like an old postcard.Sl: Ljubljani je bilo težko biti, saj se je pogosto počutil sam, beza pogled na vsak email in poslušanje njenih zgodb iz sveta, ki mu je bil tuj.En: Being in Ljubljana was hard since he often felt alone, daunted by every email and listening to her stories from a world that was foreign to him.Sl: "Dolgočasno je," si je rekel potiho, ko se je spomnil njenih smeškov in skupnih trenutkov na jezeru.En: "It's boring," he said softly to himself, as he remembered her smiles and the moments they shared at the lake.Sl: Tokrat je prišel sam, a morda si tega ni želel priznati.En: This time he came alone, although he might not have wanted to admit it.Sl: Čutil je, da se je med njima nekaj spremenilo.En: He felt that something had changed between them.Sl: Na misel mu je prišla Tina, njuna skupna prijateljica, ki mu je nekoč rekla: "Včasih se ljudje moramo soočiti s stvarmi, ki jih ne želimo videti.En: He recalled Tina, their mutual friend, who once told him: "Sometimes we must confront the things we don't want to see."Sl: "Mehko šelestenje listja je bilo kot šepet iz preteklosti.En: The gentle rustling of leaves was like a whisper from the past.Sl: Spomini na njihova srečna skupna leta so ga obkrožili.En: Memories of their happy years together surrounded him.Sl: Jure je vedel, da fizična razdalja ni bila edina ovira.En: Jure knew that the physical distance was not the only barrier.Sl: Srce se je pričelo krčiti ob spoznanju, da sta z Majo tudi čustveno razmaknila.En: His heart began to contract at the realization that he and Maja had also grown emotionally apart.Sl: Odločil se je.En: He made a decision.Sl: Potegnil je telefon iz žepa in poklical Majo.En: He pulled his phone from his pocket and called Maja.Sl: Zvok zvonjenja je bil v tem miru glasen kot rahel udarec kladiva.En: The sound of ringing was loud in this peace, like a slight hammer strike.Sl: Ko je zaslišal njen glas, se je napetost razbila, vendar ga ni pomiril.En: When he heard her voice, the tension broke, yet it did not ease him.Sl: Začel je govoriti počasi, previdno, a odkrito.En: He began to speak slowly, cautiously, but openly.Sl: "Maja, mislim, da morava govoriti o nama.En: "Maja, I think we need to talk about us.Sl: O tem, kje sva.En: About where we stand."Sl: "Maja je utihnila na drugi strani, a njun pogovor je stekel.En: Maja went silent on the other side, but their conversation flowed.Sl: Dotaknila sta se vseh tem, ki jih prej nista hotela slišati.En: They touched on all the topics they hadn't wanted to hear before.Sl: Jure jo je povabil, da se vrne domov za nekaj dni, da skupaj obiščeta jezero.En: Jure invited her to come home for a few days, to visit the lake together.Sl: "Tukaj je lepo," je rekel, "in midva morava vedeti, kako naprej.En: "It's beautiful here," he said, "and we need to know where to go from here."Sl: "Ko je pogovor sklenil, se je Jure zavedal, da ne ve, kaj bo prinesla prihodnost.En: When he ended the conversation, Jure realized he didn't know what the future would bring.Sl: Toda bil je pogumen in pripravljen sprejeti vse, kar bo prinesla.En: But he was brave and ready to accept whatever it would bring.Sl: Občutek olajšanja ga je preplavil.En: A feeling of relief washed over him.Sl: Ni vedel, kaj bo Maja rekla, a bil je odločen ugotoviti.En: He didn't know what Maja would say, but he was determined to find out.Sl: Gledal je v zeleno modro vodo, mirno, vendar polno življenja, kot njegovo upanje.En: He looked into the green-blue water, calm, yet full of life, like his hope.Sl: Na jezeru Bled je našel mir.En: By the lake Bled, he found peace.Sl: S spoznanjem, da mora včasih priznati resnico, ki je neprijetna, je Jure postal bolj povezan sam s seboj.En: With the realization that sometimes one must acknowledge unpleasant truths, Jure became more connected with himself.Sl: Vsaka kaplja okoli njega je bila kot nova priložnost za začetek.En: Every drop around him was like a new opportunity for a beginning.Sl: In tako je sedel, miren, pod svetlim spomladanskim nebom.En: And so he sat, calm, under the bright spring sky.

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
