Drugajanje Festival

The Drugajanje Festival is an annual festival initiated in 2002, co-organised by the Bunker Institute at the Second Grammar School in Maribor, which hosts the festival. The festival was conceived as a response to the gap in the supply of cultural content for youth in the city of Maribor and aims to affirm contemporary dance and performing arts, especially among teenage audiences, with a programme of performances, workshops and lectures.

Overview

Fields of Experimental Music in Slovenia

Luka T. Zagoričnik

Let's take a ride on the term experimental music, which currently mainly defines certain more fringe musical practices, across the expanses of various musical plains, styles and genres. We can apply this (overly) broad term to designate the varied creative simmering in certain segments of the present-day Slovenian music scene. A scene that spans the realms of electro-acoustic music, musique concrète, experimental music in the context of modern classical music, free improvisation, experimental electronic music and sound art as well as their associated present-day trends. This scene is diverse and exceptionally agile. It has developed a strong infrastructure for itself (festivals, concert series, labels, international networks) and exists in the space between self-organising and DIY models and institutional environments.
