Recorded over a single Sunday afternoon in the Karst region near Trieste, this piece captures spontaneous dialogues with the environment – human, animal, machine, and elemental. As the recording unfolded, a consciousness of mythological, pagan, and Christian traditions emerged, with subjects mediating between inner and outer structures. Layering raw, site-specific recordings with intuitive interpretation, the work embraces both the utilitarian rhythms of daily life and the poetic resonance of place.
Andrea Zabric born in 1994 in Ljubljana, Slovenia is an artist and writer, who writes about and with this medium. Her language mutually forms from the processes of image creation and image encounter, which she applies across various media including compressing pigment powder, designing work garments, scripting radio broadcasts, and creating painterly installations. Zabric studied art at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich and at the Academy of fine arts Munich. She is based in Vienna, Ljubljana and Munich.
Luka Zabric is a saxophonist, improviser and composer, born in 1997 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and based in Copenhagen, Denmark since 2020. His work centres on researching acoustic phenomena arising through the application of various extended techniques, use of instrument preparations, and combinations thereof, resulting in an ever-morphing sonic palette at his disposal. The continuous search and consequent findings create the foundation upon which he (re)constructs his musical language and set the premise of his musical endeavours; aiming beyond sequencing these findings and executing predetermined techniques in certain order, his true interest lies in the leap from making intentional sound to creating meaningful music.
