S01E09 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 9. Episode 9, and I somehow wrote the entire thing except the first few paragraphs. A complete opposite of last week – and I’ve got… nothing. Still processing, while simultaneously putting too much on my plate and feeling I should do more. Classic. A quick look at the calendar doesn’t help either. It practically…

Klemen Ceglar, ApiLab
In Višnja Gora, at the home of the Slovenian Carniolan bee, my friend Klemen Ceglar opened his photography exhibition Skriti kotički naših krajev — roughly, Hidden Corners of Our Places. After a decade of photographing every corner of the Municipality of Ivančna Gorica, Klemen could easily work as a local guide, or simply the best…

Gal Golob Trio, Klub CD
The Gal Golob Trio was my last set of the evening at Klub CD, with Efim Brailovskiy on alto saxophone, Gal Golob on cello and electronics, and Florian Fischer on drums. Simple, almost folk-like melodies with open improvisation – a distinctive and coherent. A few moments below. Gear used Sony A7III (ILCE-7M3) FE 24-70 F2.8…

Maj Kavšek 4tet, Minor Flaw
Maj Kavšek presented his debut project Minor Flaw at Klub CD, joined by Boštjan Simon on tenor saxophone, Tjan Šoštarič on bass, and Kristijan Krajnčan on drums. The music of everyday sounds and small imperfections, not as mistakes but as character. Subtle, attentive and confident set of the second band of the evening. Moments below.…

David Mozetič Quintet, Being & Becoming
David Mozetič brought his Being & Becoming album to the stage of Klub CD with a strong band: Marko Čepak Maki on guitar, Blaž Pahor on piano, Ilj Pušnik on bass and Gašper Peršl on the drums. First of four bands that evening, they set the bar high and made for a very enjoyable Tuesday…

S01E08 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 8. As it happens, we’re at Episode 8 – so can I drop some news? After eight (ha, see what I did there) years, I was politely asked to change my relationship status. On LinkedIn. January really did start with a bang. While most of you know me as a music photographer, I wasn’t…

Brata, SiTi Teater
Jerca, known as Hamo, also known as Matevž and Joško, known as Miha, also known as Mihi. Both of them known as the Šalehar brothers and members of iconic band Babewatch. Yesterday’s performance ‘Brata’ at Ljubljana’s SiTi Teater was hilarious and fun to watch. Much funnier than this caption, honestly. I believe there are still…

Ranr, Ljubljana
An authentic young band from Maribor I’d never seen live, playing at the Ljubljana Castle Jazz Club? Sign me up. Sounded like a perfect Friday night—and it was. A charismatic front(wo)man, strong backing vocals, and a tight band throughout, Ranr exceeded my high expectations. Waiting on a full album! Gear used Sony A7III (ILCE-7M3) FE…
