ALARM

»To, kar smo naredili s tem koncertom na prizorišču Festivala Ljubljana v Križankah, je bilo vrhunsko. Sporočilo je bilo izjemno močno in se je dotaknilo številnih ljudi, ki so bili prisotni na koncertu. Hvaležni smo, da smo lahko v odlični družbi podobno mislečih izvajalcev izpostavili najbolj pereče teme naše družbe.

Z edinstvenim konceptom smo najprej proslavili naravo z (Negotovimi) štirimi letnimi časi, ki so algoritmična predelava Vivaldijevega najbolj znanega dela, in napovedali njeno disonantno prihodnost, če ne bomo ukrepali takoj. Maja Horvat je s svojim magnetizmom in spretnostjo na violini popolnoma navdušila. Drugi del koncerta je bil posvečen mladosti, mladim umom in srcem ter slovenski uporniški poeziji, ki sta jo interpretirala in prepesnila Masayah in Hugo Smeh – Hyu. Nastop so s svojo duhovitostjo, drznostjo in odprtim sodelovanjem podprli tudi številni drugi mladi slovenski raperji.

Ni vsak dan mogoče videti in poslušati popolne mešanice sodobne klasične glasbe in simfoničnega rapa. Ne zgodi se vsak dan, da bi ljudi močno pritegnil žanr, ki ga v vsakdanjem življenju nikoli ne bi poslušali.

Zelo sem vesela, da je to cenilo tudi občinstvo, katerega starostni razpon je bil od 12 do 85 let!«

“What we achieved with this concert at the Festival Ljubljana venue in Križanke was outstanding. The message was extremely powerful and touched many of the people who were there. We are grateful that, in the excellent company of like-minded artists, we could bring the most pressing issues of our society to the fore.

With a unique concept, we first celebrated nature with the (Uncertain) Four Seasons, an algorithmic reworking of Vivaldi’s best-known piece, and predicted its dissonant future if we don’t act now. Maja Horvat was utterly captivating with her magnetism and skill on the violin. The second half was dedicated to youth, to young minds and hearts, and to Slovenian protest poetry, interpreted and re-written by Masayah and Hugo Smeh – Hyu. Many other young Slovenian rappers supported the performance with their wit, daring and open collaboration.

It isn’t every day that you can see and hear such a perfect blend of contemporary classical music and symphonic rap. It isn’t every day that people are drawn so strongly to a genre they would never listen to in everyday life.

I am very happy that the audience — aged from 12 to 85! — appreciated it too.”
