Musicus Concentus presents
ŠIROM
Friday, February 16, 2024
Sala Vanni, h. 21:15
Iztok Koren, Samo Kutin and Ana Kravanj play a folk that is “imaginary” and “from a parallel universe” as they like to say themselves; or a “folk that sounds like folk but is not,” as someone else wrote. Everything is already said in their name: in Slovenian Širom means “to go far” and “everywhere.” This conveys well the idea of music in motion, capable of capturing and interweaving heterogeneous modes and influences, bringing multiplicity back to synthesis.
A vast body of sound finds expression in the trio’s repertoire, which not only borrows from tradition (viola, ocarina, mizmar, ribab, daf, balafon, guembri, banjo, hurdy-gurdy, lute, tambura brač, music box) but also makes use of self-made instruments. In spite of such instrumental richness, the sound remains minimalist and has a shamanic quality, moving in the dialectic between darkness and light, mystery and revelation. Their performances are magnetic and engage listeners in a ritualistic, powerful and immersive experience. The Liquified Throne of Simplicity, their latest album, was released in 2022 by Tak:til / Glitterbea.
