36. Federmeister - Tribe of Dionysus

I'm really satisfied with this latest piece of music directly from my workshop. I didn't planning to include any lyrics, but they just fell on a piece of paper while I was listening the recording before the sleep. In Slovene this time. And the chorus goes: "We're coming from the tribe of Dionysus..."

33. Federmeister - Last Chance for a Dance

Winter was not so hard so I managed to build my new working place which could be used as a workshop for constructing my instruments either as rehearsal studio for my musical projects. I set up my musical rig and spent a week rehearsing my solo repertoire, composing and recording some new materials. Here's 'Last Chance for a Dance' from 'Renegade' performance.
Stay tuned for some new stuff in following weeks...

31. Plamen v prsih / Flame In the Chest

The most spectacular production with The Stroj collective this year took place at Ljubljana Castle. Regarding the process of creation and lots of pyrotechnics on the stage we decided to name it Plamen v prsih / Fire In The Chest.
No PR bullshit will follow, just some photos and a video. I hope you're gonna feel some excitement and thrill we had on stage during the performance.

18. The Stroj in Panovec tunnel

Regarding venues of The Stroj performances you would hardly surprise us with something new.Factories, rooftops, mines, ships, trucks, stone pits, junkyards, museums.... name it and we did it.But when we got invitation from Student's Club Nova Gorica to perform in a road tunnel that was something new even for us. Organizers closed the main road to Nova Gorica for two days to prepare everything for a big event in Panovec tunnel with The Stroj and Laibach.Crowd of more than two thousand people was more than satisfied and you bet we gave them the best part of us.

14. The Stroj's special appearance on TV Slovenia

We were invited to perform live on TV Slovenia for a production called Arrhythmic Concert, so we took a chance and do our best in their studios. TV crew was very supportive, they even invited some audience to the studio which gave us good push during performance. There are two videos, so check it out!

12. Concert for efektor and two 3D printers

  

I was invited to prepare a solo performance with two 3D printers for MFRU – KIBLIX 2013 (International Festival of Computer Art) organized in Maribor by Kibla. Initiator of the project was curator Jože Slaček and Jan Sterniša joined as 3D printer operator.

The project capitalizes on the acoustics typical of plastic wire 3D printing processes. Two printers will be printing two different objects, causing different sound effects, but due to the typical repetitive movements there is a chance of occasional synchronicity. The rhythmic background is enhanced by my performance on efektor. The entire performance is topped off by a video projection consisting of 3D animations and a live captured recording.

The story of 3D printing began in 1986 with the invention of stereolitography, which uses thermal lasers to manufacture individual forms from raw materials. This gave rise to the development of 3D printer models that represent modern-day desktop printers or “personal factories”. Today, 3D printers are the technology that anticipates some of future’s greatest changes. The expectations are immense: manufacturing of clothes, medicine, food and even human organs. The scheduled program will shed some light on the possibilities of 3D technologies and their creative use.
