꩜𖦹༄Vstopite v zvočne krajine Gorenjske na posebnem tridelnem večeru, kjer se narava sreča s tehnologijo in umetnostjo. Skupaj bomo napenjali ušesa, raziskovali znanost o zvoku in lovili akustični podpis te pokrajine—od hitre teorije, prek prakse, do igrivega izziva.
Pridruži se nam na večeru, ki odpira ušesa—odkrij, kako ujeti dušo kraja, jo preoblikovati in vtkati v nova zvočna dela.

ᨒ↟ 𖠰⛰︎ ོ ༄ Predavanje: tehnologija umetne reverberacije
Začeli bomo s pregledom zgodovine in tehnik umetne reverberacije. Spoznali boste, kako digitalna orodja poustvarijo akustične značilnosti resničnih prostorov — od veličastnih katedral do intimnih soban.
Predstavili bomo tudi nov terenski snemalni projekt: pred dogodkom smo na znamenitih lokacijah po Gorenjski posneli natančne impulzne odzive (IR). Ti zvočni »prstni odtisi« omogočajo ustvarjalcem, da svojim zvokom vdihnejo pristno atmosfero gozdov, dolin in arhitekture regije.

ᨒ↟ 𖠰⛰︎ ོ ༄Demonstracija: zvočno popotovanje
Teorija se sreča z zvokom: razkrili bomo Knjižnico impulznih odzivov Gorenjske in jo prvič slišali v uporabi. Poslušajte, kako se suhi, studijski posnetki preoblikujejo v skladu z akustično identiteto pokrajine.
Da bi vas zvok v celoti objel, bo demonstracija potekala na kvadrofonem zvočnem sistemu (štirje zvočniki), ki ustvarja resnično tridimenzionalno poslušalsko izkušnjo.
Posebno obvestilo: V duhu odprtega sodelovanja bosta celotna Knjižnica impulznih odzivov Gorenjske in spremljevalna programska oprema za reverberacijo brezplačno na voljo vsem, da bodo ustvarjalci po vsem svetu lahko vključili edinstveni zvočni podpis Gorenjske v svoja dela.

ᨒ↟ 𖠰⛰︎ ོ ༄ Kviz: preizkusite svoj sluh
Večer zaključimo z zabavnim, interaktivnim poslušnim kvizom. Predvajali bomo nabor zvočnih krajin — ali jih znate povezati z lokacijami na Gorenjskem? Katedrala ali kanjon, dvorišče ali jama? Najbolj dovzetnega poslušalca čaka majhna nagrada! .☘︎ ݁˖

Dogodek organizira Inštitut ON Rizom v sodelovanju s KUD Mreža. Projekt dr. Zlatka Baracskaia sofinancirata Univerza v Pécsu in Mestna občina Ljubljana – Oddelek za kulturo.

꩜𖦹༄ Immerse yourself in the distinctive soundscapes of the Gorenjska region during a special three-part evening at the intersection of nature, technology, and art. This event celebrates the art of listening and the science of sound, inviting musicians, artists, and audiophiles to explore the acoustic fingerprint of a remarkable landscape—from theory to practice to an interactive challenge.
Join us for an evening devoted to the sounds that surround us—and discover how the soul of a place can be captured, transformed, and woven into new artistic creations.

ᨒ↟ 𖠰⛰︎ ོ ༄ The Lecture: The Technology of Artificial Reverberation
Begin with an illuminating look at the history and techniques of artificial reverberation. Discover how digital tools can recreate the acoustic signatures of real spaces—from grand cathedrals to intimate chambers.
You’ll also get a first glimpse of a new field-recording project: before the event, we captured precise impulse responses (IRs) from iconic locations across Gorenjska. These sonic “fingerprints” let artists infuse their sounds with the authentic atmosphere of the region’s forests, valleys, and architecture.

ᨒ↟ 𖠰⛰︎ ོ ༄ The Demonstration: An Audible Journey
Theory meets sound as we unveil the Gorenjska Impulse Response Library and put it to work in real time. Hear how dry, studio recordings are transformed by the region’s acoustic identity.
To fully envelop the audience, the demo runs on a quadraphonic (four-speaker) system for a truly three-dimensional listening experience.
Special announcement: In the spirit of open collaboration, the entire Gorenjska Impulse Response Library—and the companion reverberation software—will be released free for everyone to use, empowering creators worldwide to integrate Gorenjska’s sonic signature into their work.

ᨒ↟ 𖠰⛰︎ ོ ༄ The Quiz: Test Your Ears
We’ll end with a fun, interactive listening quiz. Match each reverberant soundscape to its Gorenjska location—cathedral or canyon, courtyard or cave.
A small prize awaits the most perceptive listener! .☘︎ ݁˖

♚Dr. Zlatko Baracskai♚
Pedagog | Skladatelj | Bobnar | Raziskovalec
Dr. Zlatko Baraćskai je pedagog, skladatelj in raziskovalec, katerega delo se odvija na presečišču avdio tehnologije, sodobne glasbe in ritmične abstrakcije. Njegova ustvarjalna praksa raziskuje napetost med strukturo in improvizacijo, tehnologijo in intuicijo, pri čemer zvok uporablja kot medij za raziskovanje percepcije in psihološkega doživljanja.
Diplomiral je iz sonologije (2001–2005) na Kraljevem konservatoriju v Haagu (Nizozemska) ter doktoriral iz kompozicije (2007–2011) na Univerzi v Birminghamu (Združeno kraljestvo).
V zadnjih sedemnajstih letih je poučeval, ustvarjal in raziskoval na desetih univerzah v šestih državah, kjer je razvijal nove predmete ter mentoriral študente na vseh akademskih ravneh. Njegovo pedagoško delo združuje analitično natančnost in ustvarjalni eksperiment, z namenom spodbujanja povezave med tehničnim znanjem in umetniško občutljivostjo.
Kot umetnik je svoja dela predstavil na številnih evropskih rezidencah, festivalih in razstavah. Njegove instalacije in performansi združujejo tehnološko natančnost in glasbeno spontanost, pogosto s pomočjo lastno razvitih programskih orodij, zvočnih naprav in povratnih sistemov, s katerimi raziskuje dialog med umom, zvokom in prostorom.
Skozi medkulturno in interdisciplinarno perspektivo Baraćskai razvija umetniško vizijo, katere cilj je preoblikovati načine poslušanja in prispevati k mednarodnemu diskurzu sodobne zvočne umetnosti.

The event is organized by Inštitut ON Rizom in collaboration with KUD Mreža. Dr. Zlatko Baracskaia’s project is co-financed by the University of Pécs and the City of Ljubljana – Department of Culture.

♚Dr. Zlatko Baracskai♚
Educator | Composer | Drummer | Researcher
Dr. Zlatko Baracskai is an educator, composer, and researcher whose work unfolds at the crossroads of audio technology, contemporary music, and rhythmic abstraction. His creative practice explores the tension between structure and improvisation, technology and intuition, often transforming sound into a medium for perceptual and psychological exploration.
He holds a BA in Sonology (2001–2005) from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Netherlands, and a PhD in Composition (2007–2011) from the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Over the past seventeen years, Baracskai has taught, performed, and conducted research at ten universities across six countries, developing new courses and mentoring students in sound processing, acoustics, generative composition, and audio programming. His teaching integrates analytical precision with creative experimentation, encouraging the fusion of technical skill and artistic sensibility.
As an artist, his work has been featured in European residencies, festivals, and exhibitions, where he presents installations and performances that merge technological precision with musical spontaneity. Using self-developed software, hardware instruments, and feedback-based sound systems, he investigates the evolving dialogue between mind, sound, and space.
Rooted in a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspective, Baracskai’s artistic vision seeks to reshape listening experiences and contribute to the broader discourse of contemporary sound art.
