prijazen.En: Her confidence surprised him, but he tried to be friendly.Sl: "Živjo, Žiga," je odgovorila Nina z nasmehom.En: "Hello, Žiga," replied Nina with a smile.Sl: Njena lica so bila rdeča od mrzlega zraka.En: Her cheeks were red from the cold air.Sl: Pogledala je okrog in rekla: "Krasen park, kajne?En: She looked around and said, "Beautiful park, isn't it?"Sl: ""Ja, res je čudovit.En: "Yes, it's really wonderful.Sl: Posebej zdaj, v tem času," je rekel Žiga in začel drugačno temo: "Kako preživljaš ta zimski čas?En: Especially now, at this time," said Žiga and switched to a different topic: "How are you spending this winter time?"Sl: "Preden sta uspela nadaljevati pogovor, pa se je iznenada pojavila Mateja.En: Before they could continue the conversation, Mateja suddenly appeared.Sl: Imela je rdečo kapo, ki je izstopala na belem ozadju.En: She had a red hat that stood out against the white background.Sl: "Nina!En: "Nina!"Sl: " je vzkliknila Mateja navdušeno, vse prej kot zavedajoča se situacije.En: Mateja exclaimed excitedly, completely unaware of the situation.Sl: "Kakšno lepo presenečenje!En: "What a lovely surprise!"Sl: "Nina je bila zmedena.En: Nina was confused.Sl: Mateja ni bila del plana.En: Mateja wasn't part of the plan.Sl: Žiga je postal še bolj nervozen.En: Žiga became even more nervous.Sl: "Zdravo, Mateja," je komaj izrekel.En: "Hello, Mateja," he barely managed to say.Sl: "Mislila sem, da se bova videli kasneje," je rekla Nina nekoliko zadržano.En: "I thought we'd see each other later," said Nina somewhat reservedly.Sl: Mateja se je hitro opravičila, saj ni vedela za Ninin zmenek.En: Mateja quickly apologized, as she was unaware of Nina's date.Sl: Žiga je takoj zbral pogum in odločil biti direkten.En: Žiga immediately gathered courage and decided to be direct.Sl: "Nina, želel sem preživeti čas zatebi.En: "Nina, I wanted to spend time with you.Sl: Morda Mateja ni pričakovala, ampak ne želim, da to uniči našo priložnost.En: Maybe Mateja didn't expect this, but I don't want it to ruin our opportunity."Sl: "Nina je pogledala Žigo.En: Nina looked at Žiga.Sl: Njegove oči so bile iskrene.En: His eyes were sincere.Sl: "Resno si to misliš?En: "Do you really mean that?"Sl: " je vprašala z dvomljivim tonom.En: she asked with a doubtful tone.Sl: Žiga je prikimal.En: Žiga nodded.Sl: "Želim biti pošten do tebe," je rekel.En: "I want to be honest with you," he said.Sl: "Ničesar ne skrbi, želim, da me spoznaš, tako kot sem.En: "Don't worry about anything, I want you to know me, just as I am."Sl: "Med njima se je zaslišal smeh, ki je v tiho zimsko pokrajino prinesel toplino.En: Laughter echoed between them, bringing warmth to the silent winter landscape.Sl: "Morda bi morali začeti znova z drugim zmenkom," je predlagala Nina.En: "Maybe we should start over with a second date," suggested Nina.Sl: Mateja, ki je še vedno stala poleg, se je nasmehnila in namignila, da bo šla.En: Mateja, who was still standing nearby, smiled and hinted she would leave.Sl: "Vidva uživajta v čudovitem Tivoliju," je rekla in pomahala.En: "You two enjoy the beautiful Tivoli," she said and waved.Sl: Žiga in Nina sta se nasmehnila eden drugemu.En: Žiga and Nina smiled at each other.Sl: Sprehodila sta se naprej med zasneženimi drevesi, pustila za sabo sledi njunih korakov.En: They walked on through the snowy trees, leaving behind traces of their steps.Sl: Oba sta vedela, da bo to začetek nečesa novega.En: Both knew this would be the beginning of something new.Sl: Žiga je bil sedaj bolj samozavesten, Nina pa odprta za nove možnosti.En: Žiga was now more confident, and Nina open to new possibilities.Sl: V večernih svetlobi so praznične luči dajale občutek, da je vse mogoče.En: In the evening lights, the festive lights gave the feeling that anything was possible.Sl: Spredaj je čakala pot novega prijateljstva, morda celo ljubezni.En: Ahead lay the journey of a new friendship, perhaps even 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. 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
