The 16th edition of the Ljubljana festival of contemporary electronic music and transitory art SONICA brings the Slovenian debut of Nicolás Jaar! He will present his new improvised performance for processed bass clarinet and electronics under the name Jaar.
Considered one of the biggest names in electronic music of the 21st century, Jaar is known for his multifaceted and multidisciplinary artistic output. Apart from releasing albums such as Space Is Only Noise (2011), Sirens (2016) and Cenizas (2020), and running the house project Against All Logic and the band Darkside, he is also in charge of the influential Other People label. In recent years, he has mainly focused on various art projects and education, teaching sound-editing and listening workshops to emerging musicians and non-musicians alike.
The concert evening also includes the performance of Slovenian multiinstrumentalist Iztok Koren, a member of the critically acclaimed imaginary folk trio Širom. He will premiere his new solo project Spaces, a spatial exploration of timbres, harmonies, noises and drones.
SONICA 2024 also brings the Slovenian debut of the renowned Vietnamese experimental collective Rắn Cạp Đuôi, who are coming to Ljubljana to present their critically acclaimed album *1 (Nhạc Gãy, 2023), one of last year’s undisputed highlights in the sphere of experimental electronic music. As The Quietus stated on their best albums of 2023 list, *1 is a kaleidoscopic collage of fantastical aural events.
