• D’incise
• Gal Furlan & Giorgio Pacorig
• Bojan Krhlanko & Rok Zalokar: UFO Art Night

D’INCISE
d’incise, sound explorer, used to pretend to have no perticular instrument, using whatever can be considered as such, softwares, recordings, objects, percussions, harmonium, etc. However he has lately re-focused on analog electronic sources, carefully sampling and re-assembling them as solo concert proposal for loudspeakers.

He’s interested in radicalism, reductionnism, repetitions and conceptual approaches, building specific set-up for each new occasion & context, in solo, groups or thought for others. He tends to extract the most tiny details of the elements, appreciates slowness and obsessive explorations of simple processes. With Cyril Bondi and since many years he’s behind the Insub.’s activites (label, large orchestra, and more).

“Incendies” is a piece that sings the jolts of a world on battery.

Just as we watch a fire with fascination, its beauty and its destructive force at the same time, one can listen to analog signals enriched with saturations and give birth to the space created inside a stereophony. Or meditate on the carbon footprint of the same action. And for your information: the number of megafires will increase by 30% by 2050 (according to a report by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) which also denounces noise pollution in cities as a growing danger to public health). The piece is based on analog signals, recorded over and over through various circuits (filters mostly) in order to create subtles stereo differences, mouvements and depthes. The music breath to its own puslation, always slightly off-the-grid, saturations and hisses act on the expressive and dramatic level. (Photo: personal archive)

BOJAN KRHLANKO & ROK ZALOKAR: UFO ART NIGHT
The UFO Art Night project is the first event of its kind in Slovenia – an interdisciplinary artistic evening combining visual projections (VJ-ing) and live music, performed by VJ and musician Bojan Krhlanko and musician Rok Zalokar. The event will explore themes of the universe, unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the mysterious. The aim is to bring together art, science and philosophy, offering visitors a unique sensory and intellectual experience. The subject of the UFO phenomenon is often stigmatised in society, as it is associated with conspiracy theories and speculation; at the same time, however, it offers endless possibilities for artistic exploration, as it stimulates the imagination, raises philosophical questions and invites creative interpretations of the inexplicable. This is precisely why we wish to present it through an artistic concept that opens up space for experimentation, reflection and free expression.

Bojan Krhlanko is a gaduated jazz drummer, music teacher and producer. As a self-taught drummer, he was invited in 2001 to join the experimental industrial collective The Stroj, with whom he has performed all over the world; since 2017, he has also been regularly creating and performing with the group Laibach. He has received several significant awards for his artistic work. These include a state honour from the President of the Republic of Slovenia for achievements in the field of music. He has also received the highest municipal award from the municipality of Laško – the Aškerc Award – for outstanding artistic achievements. As a mentor, he has led numerous music workshops at the Laško–Radeče Music School, thereby making a significant contribution to the development of younger musicians. He founded the KLIP association. Through the association, he regularly organises concerts, round-table discussions and educational workshops. One of the association’s key projects is the Sound and Health Festival, which explores the impact of sound on human health through sound therapies, concerts and expert discussions. In addition to music, he also works in the field of mixing and mastering for other music projects. (Photo: personal archive)

• Luka Zabric
• Elvis Homan & Jan Gričar
• Subday Sextet

LUKA ZABRIC
Luka Zabric, born 1997 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, is a musician, improviser and composer, currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Alongside frequent performing in various established and ad-hoc improvising constellations around Europe, he is a member of the CRRNT Collective (reads as ‘current’ in English), an international group active as a small label, a band and an organiser of concert series and festivals in Copenhagen.Luka allocates a significant amount of attention to exploring peripheral corners of sound and sustaining strange sonorities beyond their natural lifespans of a moment or two. In doing so, improvisation paves the way, expands and finally morphs such inquiry into music. In the thicket of inter-dependent dynamics between his instrument, preparations and air masses, Luka seeks out unexpected moments, which he moulds and unfolds as far as imagination permits. For this occasion, he will perform solo with a quadraphonic speaker setup, pursuing liminalities of the prepared acoustic saxophone, amplified and spatialised to a point of assuming an electro-acoustic surround-sound experience.

ELVIS HOMAN & JAN GRIČAR
Jan Gričar and Elvis Homan are a saxophone and electronics duo whose collaboration brings together contemporary instrumental performance, live electronics, and experimental approaches to sound. The duo has previously performed together at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana in a programme centred on works by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luciano Berio, Urška Pompe, and Pierre Boulez, with Gričar performing on saxophone and Homan working with live electronics. In their current collaboration, the electronic component is developed using Max/MSP and the FluCoMa toolkit, allowing acoustic saxophone sound to be analysed, transformed, processed, and recontextualised in real time. Their work explores the interaction between acoustic sound and electronic transformation, with particular attention to timbre, resonance, spatiality, and the relationship between performer and technology. Drawing from contemporary repertoire as well as experimental and electroacoustic practices, the duo approaches each performance as an evolving sonic environment in which instrumental sound and electronics continuously influence and reshape one another.

Elvis Homan is a drummer, percussionist, composer, and sound artist. He completed his master’s studies in Live Electronics/Modern Composition at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, under supervision of his mentor Jos Zwaanenburg.  Zwaanenburg, a flutist, composer, and specialist in contemporary music and live electronics, has played an important role in developing the programme’s approach to the intersection of instrumental performance, contemporary music, and live electronics.

Jan Gričar graduated with honours from the Academy of Music in Ljubljana, where he studied with Matjaž Drevenšek and Miha Rogina. He continued his studies at the Regional Conservatory of Versailles with Vincent David and completed his master’s studies at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris with Claude Delangle, where he also studied chamber music with Laszlo Hadady.

SUNDAY SEXTET
The name ‘Sunday Sextet’ pays tribute to the concert series in Bistrica ob Sotli, a space where connections were forged and collaborative creations came to life. Its members are now pillars of the diverse local experimental music scene: Jure Boršič (alto saxophone, clarinet), Marko Jenič (violin), Jošt Drašler (double bass), Jaka Berger (modular synthesisers), Andrej Bošjančič-Ruda (guitar), Vid Drašler (drums). The line-up echoes the sounds of Oholo!, TiTiTi, Shoe&Shoelace, Minoy, Olfamoštvo and numerous ad hoc formations in which these musicians create music on a cross-genre journey through free improvisation, jazz, rock, ethno-music and electroacoustics. These influences are reflected in their music and are transformed into a collective sonic experience with its own distinct identity. One could say that  the band has developed its own sound, which, on the one hand, defines the participants, whilst on the other, remains sufficiently open. This openness allows for a delicate electroacoustic harmony between the collective sound and the individual contributions to it. The band has so far released two albums, both critically acclaimed internationally, on the British label FMR and the Slovenian label Non-Aligned Music; their performance at the festival will be their premiere!
