Music programme

Curated by: Jaša Bužinel

The audiovisual programme of four concerts is rooted in various intergenerational sensibilities and based on the search for common ground between timeless musical forms and the latest offshoots of pop and electronic music, underpinned by the desire to be original and exceed expectations. The latest trends are represented by Slovenian musicians Zevin and msn gf, who create in related worlds at the intersection of hypermodern pop and contemporary club production.

The multitalented Zevin is one of the most exciting names of contemporary pop in the Balkans, whereas msn gf is considered one of the most unique local electronic music producers of the new generation, as her expression draws on the current club trends as well as the rich legacy of Slovenian pop released in the last 30 years. Their energetic, generation-specific post-internet music converges with the flashy aesthetics of contemporary artists that present their work at the festival.

The programme also includes the “crate digging” sounds of dusty vinyl records from all over the world. The concert by the veteran trio of two DJs and a drummer, the Jimmy Barka Experience, who use two turntables to create live temperamental dance music that is a blend of funk, soul, jazz, hip hop, rock, as well as Brazilian, African and Balkan music, can best be described as an intercontinental musical journey. Another DJ who swears by the same ethos of exploration is the young music selector Zvèn, known for stylistically varied and unpredictable mixes.

Lastly, dj final form is responsible for creating immersive soundscapes at the interactive lecture Intensities and Conditions of Expression, drawing inspiration from post-internet musical aesthetics in the spheres of ambient and experimental electronic music.
