Utripnik je koncertni cikel, ki združuje akustiko, sodobni zvok, unikatna ročno izdelana glasbila ter eksperimentalne in elektronske glasbene pristope. Dogodki odpirajo prostor za srečanje tradicije in sodobnih glasbenih pristopov.
Na prvem delu cikla bosta nastopila Kristjan Jurkas (Hummingbird Flutes) in Januš Aleš Luznar (Roots music instruments).
Slišali boste žanrsko neopredeljiv koncert, v katerem se akustični inštrumenti prepletajo z elektronskimi efekti, ambientom in zvočnimi teksturami.
Koncert bo vključeval tudi improvizacijo, zato lahko nekatere skladbe nastanejo prav tam in takrat, v neposrednem dialogu z občinstvom.
Nastopajoča:
Kristjan Jurkas – Hummingbird Flutes�
Glasbenik, ustvarjalec sodobnih zvočnih krajin in izdelovalec flavt stila severnoameriških staroselcev.
Kristjan se posveča raziskovanju zvoka, naravne akustike in intuitivnemu igranju. Kot mojster zvočne frekvence se osredotoča na subtilne vibracije, resonančne odzive materialov in dinamiko med tonom, prostorom in poslušalcem. Njegovo izražanje ni usmerjeno v virtuoznost, temveč v občutek, prisotnost in vodenje zvoka na način, ki odpira prostor umirjenosti in notranje povezanosti.
V zadnjih letih ustvarja tudi lastna lesena zračna glasbila. Raziskuje, kako material, oblika in resonanca vplivajo na edinstvenost vsakega tona, kako se izraža naravna resonanca lesa in kako inštrument »diha« z izvajalcem. Njegov umetniški fokus je združitev rokodelstva, zvoka in subtilne prisotnosti, most med tradicionalnim znanjem in sodobno zvočno prakso.
Januš Aleš Luznar�
Intermedijski umetnik, multiinštrumentalist
Deluje na stičišču glasbe, avdiovizualnih del in interdisciplinarnih umetnosti. Že preko dveh desetletij se ukvarja s produkcijo projektov, skladanjem glasbe, zvočnim oblikovanjem, avdiovizualnimi in fizičnimi performansi, glasbenimi delavnicami ter ročno izdelavo akustičnih inštrumentov, s katerimi tudi koncertira.
Njegov odmevnejši avdio-vizualni projekt ICTUSCORDIS je avtorska serija, v kateri človeško srce postane živ glasbeni in vizualni inštrument. Od leta 2018 izveden več kot 50-krat v Sloveniji in na gostovanjih po evropi.
--
Osrednji del večera je koncert in predstavitev unikatnih akustičnih glasbil, ki jih glasbenika izdelujeta sama. Večer je tako tudi priložnost za spoznavanje ljudi, ki stojijo za inštrumenti: njihovih poti, motivov in rokodelskega znanja, ki ga prenašajo naprej.
Med predstavljenimi glasbili bodo:
flavte v slogu severnoameriških staroselcev
afriški ngoni
cevasti zvonci
Ustvarjalca bosta predstavila materiale, zgodovinske okoliščine, osnovne tehnične postopke izdelave, zvočne možnosti glasbil ter odgovarjala na vprašanja obiskovalcev.
Po koncertu bo glasbila mogoče tudi preizkusiti.
Zaželjen prostovoljni prispevek 5+ eur

Utripnik is a concert series that brings together acoustic music, contemporary sounds, unique handmade instruments, and experimental and electronic musical approaches.
The events create a space for encounters between tradition and contemporary musical practices.
The first event in the series will feature Kristjan Jurkas (Hummingbird Flutes) and Januš Aleš Luznar (Roots Music Instruments).
You can expect a genre-defying concert in which acoustic instruments intertwine with electronic effects, ambient soundscapes, and sonic textures.
The concert will also include improvisation, meaning that some pieces may emerge spontaneously, right there and then, through a direct dialogue with the audience.
Performers
Kristjan Jurkas – Hummingbird Flutes
Musician, creator of contemporary soundscapes, and maker of Native American-style flutes.
Kristjan is dedicated to exploring sound, natural acoustics, and intuitive playing. As a master of sound frequencies, he focuses on subtle vibrations, the resonant responses of materials, and the interplay between tone, space, and listener. His approach is not centred on virtuosity, but rather on feeling, presence, and guiding sound in a way that creates space for tranquillity and inner connection.
In recent years, he has also been creating his own wooden wind instruments. He explores how materials, shapes, and resonance influence the uniqueness of each tone, how the natural resonance of wood expresses itself, and how an instrument “breathes” together with the performer. His artistic focus lies in bringing craftsmanship, sound, and subtle presence together, building a bridge between traditional knowledge and contemporary sound practice.
Januš Aleš Luznar
Intermedia artist and multi-instrumentalist.
His work lies at the intersection of music, audiovisual art, and interdisciplinary practices. For more than two decades, he has been involved in producing projects, composing music, sound design, audiovisual and physical performances, music workshops, and the handcrafted production of acoustic instruments, which he also performs with in concerts.
One of his more widely recognised audiovisual projects, ICTUSCORDIS, is an original series in which the human heart becomes a living musical and visual instrument. Since 2018, the project has been presented more than 50 times in Slovenia and at guest performances across Europe.
Concert and handmade instruments
The central part of the evening will be a concert and presentation of unique acoustic instruments handcrafted by the two musicians themselves. The event will also offer an opportunity to meet the people behind the instruments and learn about their journeys, motivations, and the craftsmanship they are passing on.
The instruments featured will include:
Native American-style flutes
African ngoni
Tubular bells
The artists will introduce the materials, historical context, basic instrument-making techniques, and the sonic possibilities of the instruments, as well as answer questions from the audience.
After the concert, visitors will also have the opportunity to try out the instruments themselves.
A voluntary contribution of €5 or more is welcome.
