Transcript:Sl: Mateja in Zoran sta skupaj sedela na majhnem čolničku sredi Blejskega jezera.En: Mateja and Zoran sat together on a small boat in the middle of Blejsko jezero.Sl: Mrzla zima je ovijala jezero v belino, snežinke so plesale v zraku, tišina zime pa je ustvarjala čarobno, skoraj nadnaravno kuliso.En: The cold winter wrapped the lake in whiteness, snowflakes danced in the air, and the silence of winter created a magical, almost supernatural backdrop.Sl: Bilo je Valentinovo, praznik ljubezni, a nebo ni bilo prijazno.En: It was Valentine's Day, the holiday of love, but the sky was unkind.Sl: Nenadoma je veter zapičil in začel vrtinčiti snežne kristale okoli njunega čolnička.En: Suddenly, the wind picked up and began to swirl the snow crystals around their little boat.Sl: Mateja je bila neustrašna raziskovalka, a globoko v sebi je skrivala strahove.En: Mateja was a fearless explorer, but deep inside, she harbored fears.Sl: Ljubezen ji je bila znana, a mnogokrat je občutila poškodbe, ki jih prinaša.En: Love was familiar to her, but she had often felt the wounds it could bring.Sl: Zoran, njen prijatelj iz mladosti, je bil ob njej, srečanje po dolgih letih razdalje.En: Zoran, her childhood friend, was with her, a reunion after many years apart.Sl: Njegove oči so odsevale razumevanje in mirnost.En: His eyes reflected understanding and calmness.Sl: Upal je, da bo očistil morebitne nesporazume in ponovno našel pot do Matejinega srca.En: He hoped to clear any misunderstandings and find his way back to Mateja's heart.Sl: Ko se je nevihta okrepila, je napetost med njima rasla.En: As the storm intensified, the tension between them grew.Sl: Bilo je očitno, da bodo težko prišli do obale.En: It was obvious that they would have difficulty reaching the shore.Sl: Mateja je stisnila vesla, močno upajoč, da bosta zmogla varno pripeljati čolniček na kopno.En: Mateja gripped the oars, strongly hoping they could safely bring the boat to land.Sl: A takrat, v močnem zamahu snega, so njene skrite misli izbruhnile na plano.En: But then, in the strong gust of snow, her hidden thoughts burst forth.Sl: "Zoran," je rekla skozi veter, "vedno sem se bala ponoviti preteklost.En: "Zoran," she said through the wind, "I've always been afraid to repeat the past.Sl: Bala sem se spet verjeti.En: Afraid to believe again."Sl: " Njene besede so bile jasne v hrupu nevihte.En: Her words were clear in the noise of the storm.Sl: Zoran je popustil vesla, da bi jo bolje slišal.En: Zoran let go of the oars to hear her better.Sl: "Spoznal sem, da so bila najina nesoglasja posledica nerazumljenih besed," je priznal Zoran.En: "I realized that our disagreements were the result of misunderstood words," Zoran admitted.Sl: Njegova iskrenost je odmevala skozi hlad in sneg.En: His sincerity echoed through the cold and snow.Sl: Mateja je vedela, da sedaj ni prostora za tišino.En: Mateja knew that now there was no room for silence.Sl: Tveganje je bilo del življenja, tako kot preveč ljubezni.En: Risk was part of life, just as too much love was.Sl: "Ne morem več živeti v preteklosti," je odločena dejala.En: "I can't live in the past anymore," she declared decisively.Sl: Nevihta je bilo močna, a njuna odločitev, da bosta delovala skupaj, je bila močnejša.En: The storm was strong, but their decision to work together was stronger.Sl: Skupaj sta veslala proti obali, snežinke so se zapletale v njune lase in odlagale v njunih objemih.En: Together, they paddled toward the shore, snowflakes tangled in their hair and settled in their embraces.Sl: Ko sta dosegla obalo, je nevihta počasi ponehala.En: When they reached the shore, the storm gradually subsided.Sl: Zagledala sta majhno gostišče ob jezerski poti, toplina je sijala skozi okna kot obljuba zavetja in novega začetka.En: They spotted a small inn along the lake path, warmth glowing through the windows as a promise of shelter and a new beginning.Sl: Stopila sta v notranjost, sneg se je topil z oblačil, a njuni srci sta bila lažja, napolnjena z novo jasnostjo in upanjem.En: They stepped inside, the snow melting from their clothes, but their hearts were lighter, filled with newfound clarity and hope.Sl: Mateja je spoznala, da je ljubezen lahko pot nevarna, a tudi osupljiva.En: Mateja realized that love could be a perilous path, but also an astonishing one.Sl: Bil je čas, da dovoli sebi in njunemu odnosu novo poglavje, polno iskrenosti in poguma.En: It was time to allow herself and their relationship a new chapter, full of honesty and courage.Sl: Tako sta v toplini gostišča začela novo praznovanje Valentinovega – s pričakovanjem, da je prihodnost polna možnosti in neovirane ljubezni.En: In the warmth of the inn, they started a new celebration of Valentine's Day, with the expectation that the future was full of possibilities and unbridled love.

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.

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
