Po lanskoletnem odmevnem dogajanju v sklopu prve slovenske izvedbe festivala improvizirane glasbe in svobodnih oblik bo slikovita gorenjska vasica Preddvor, ob idiličnem jezeru Črnava, 14. in 15. junija 2019 ponovno prizorišče festivala Free Forms. Že 13. junija, večer pred začetkom festivala, pa bo manjša zasedba glasbenikov dogajanje v Preddvoru napovedala z novinarsko konferenco in nastopom v Trubarjevi hiši literature v Ljubljani.

Mednarodni festival Free Forms Preddvor uteleša svobodne oblike različnih glasbenih inumetniških praks s poudarkom na improvizirani glasbi in eksperimentalni zvočnosti, s svojo specifično programsko zasnovo pa predstavlja pravo posebnost med slovenskimi glasbenimi festivali.

Akustični atrij gradu Hrib bo ponovno naselil umetniški dialog med glasbeniki, ki s svojo virtuoznostjo in odprtim duhom gradijo kompleksno, večdimenzionalno stvarnost, ambienti Preddvora z njegovo okolico pa bodo predstavljali čudovito naravno zvočno kuliso za spremljajoče dogodke. Posebnost festivala Free Forms Preddvor se skriva v dejstvu, da ne vključuje že izoblikovanih skupin, temveč se zasedbe tvorijo na prizorišču samem. Izvajalci nikoli ne vedo vnaprej, kdo bo igral s kom, letošnji nabor pa obsega 14 glasbenikov iz Slovenije, Avstrije, Madžarske, Francije, Irana, Avstralije in Mehike.

S svojevrstno glasbeno empatijo in interakcijo tako simultano in spontano ustvarjajo enkratne in neponovljive glasbene oziroma koncertne izkušnje, večplastne instrumentalne dialoge znotraj svobodne improvizacije pa nadgrajujejo v skupinsko komunikacijo in vzajemno zvočno soodvisnost.

Osrednji glasbeni dogodek letošnjega festivala bo predstavljal koncertni večer v petek, 14. junija, v atriju preddvorskega gradu Hrib, ob jezeru Črnava. V soboto, 15. junija, pa bo sledila premiera novega turističnega produkta destinacije, poimenovanega “Zvočna razglednica Preddvora”. Izviren in unikaten produkt je razvil programski vodja festivala, Boštjan Perovšek, bodočim obiskovalcem pa ga bo izvajal v sodelovanju z Zavodom za turizem Preddvor.

Skladatelj, glasbenik in oblikovalec zvočnih prostorov, Boštjan Perovšek, premierno pripravlja pravo zvočno pustolovščino z naslovom Zvočna razglednica Preddvora.

Opremljeni z našpičenimi ušesi se odpravimo v okolico Preddvora in doživimo prijazno okolje nekoliko drugače. Tudi tisti, ki Preddvor poznate, ga dojemate v glavnem z očmi. Kaj pa zvok? Ste že poslušali ptiče, čebele, muhe, veter, oddaljeno žaganje, košnjo trave, veslanje, drsenje čolna po gladini jezera, ...? Morda pa le zven korakov in govorjenje? Če ne, je zdaj odlična priložnost za kaj takega. Če pa ste že izkusili zvok, ponovno poslušanje ne bo prav nič odveč!

Zavzeli bomo pravo lovsko prežo, sledili in čakali zvoke, ki nas bodo spominjali na Preddvor. Morda pa lahko začnete snemati že na petkovem koncertu. Tudi festival Free Forms je del zvočnega Preddvora. Če se bo kdo kopal ali veslal, … bo še bolj zanimivo!

Kaj pa oprema?

Usmerjeni ali stereo mikrofon in digitalni prenosni snemalnik. Če to ni možno, lahko digitalna kamera, fotoaparat, mobilni telefon, ... z možnostjo izvoza digitalnih datotek. Na pozabite slušalk!!
Pohodni čevlji, pohodna obleka, pokrivalo, krema za sončenje, zaščita pred komarji in klopi, naravna poživila po izbiri udeleženca.

Pogoji niso prezahtevni in prav vsak gre lahko na malo drugačen sprehod - zvočni sprehod! Udeleženci bodo dobili povezavo do Preddvorske zvočne razglednice, da si jo bodo lahko doma v miru poslušali.

FREE FORMS INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL • PREDDVOR 2019
13, 14 and 15 June 2019

After last year's spectacular event as part of the first Slovenian organisation of the festival of improvised music and free forms, the picturesque Gorenjska village of Preddvor, located along the idyllic Lake Črnava, will re-launch the Free Forms festival on 14 and 15 June 2019. On June 13, the evening before the beginning of the festival, a smaller band of musicians will announce the events in Preddvor through a press conference and a performance at Trubar's Literature House in Ljubljana.

The Free Forms Preddvor international festival embodies the free forms of various musical and artistic practices, with emphasis on improvised music and experimental acoustics, and with its specific program design, it represents a true distinction among Slovenian music festivals.

The acoustic atrium of the Castle of Hrib will re-establish an artistic dialogue between musicians who, with their virtuosity and open spirit, strive to build a complex, multidimensional reality, while Preddvor and all its surroundings will make for a wonderful natural backdrop for all accompanying events. The special feature of the Free Forms Preddvor international festival lies in the fact that it does not include previously-formed groups, but rather has the ensembles form naturally on the spot itself. The performers never know in advance who will play with whom, and this year's set includes 14 musicians from Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, France, Iran, Australia and Mexico.

With their unique musical empathy and both simultaneous and spontaneous interaction, the performers create unique and unrepeatable musical and concert experiences, while multi-faceted instrumental dialogues within free improvisation gradually transform into group communication and mutual sound interdependence.

The main musical event of this year's festival will be Friday’s concert night on 14 June in the atrium of the Hrib castle main house, next to Lake Črnava. On Saturday, 15 June, guests will bear witness to the premiere of the new production of tourism and destination, titled "The sound card of Preddvor". This original and unique artistic piece was developed by the festival’s program manager, Boštjan Perovšek, and will be screened in cooperation with the Preddvor Tourism Institute.

HOTEL ALMA • HRIB CASTLE, PREDDVOR (castle terrace)
9:30 - PREMIERE OF TOURIST PRODUCT: THE SOUND CARD OF PREDDVOR

Composer, musician and sound designer, Boštjan Perovšek, is preparing a real sound adventure titled The Sound Card of Preddvor.

With sharpened ears, we enter the surroundings of Preddvor to experience this friendly environment in a somewhat different manner. Even those who know Preddvor perceive it mainly with their eyes. What about sound? Have you listened to birds, bees, flies, wind, remote sawing, grass mowing, rowing, the gliding of a boat along the lake's surface? Perhaps the sound of steps and talking? If not, this is now a great opportunity to experience something like that. But if you have already experienced the sound, listening again will not hinder your experience!

We will crouch like a hunter, follow and wait for the sounds that will remind us of Preddvor. Perhaps you can already start recording on Friday's concert. The Free Forms festival is also part of Preddvor’s sounds. If there will be somebody swimming or rowing, ... it will be even more interesting!

What about equipment?

1. Directional or stereo microphone and digital portable recorder. If this is not possible, a digital camera, photo camera, mobile phone, ... with the possibility of exporting digital files. Don’t forget the headphones!!
2. Hiking boots, hiking clothes, headgear, sunscreen, protection against mosquitos and ticks, natural stimulants of the participant’s choice.

The conditions are not too demanding and everybody can take a slightly different walk - an audio walk! Participants will be given a link to the Preddvor audio postcard so that they can listen to it peacefully at home.
