"THINGS PEOPLE SAY"
Album “Things People Say” pays an homage to the people that inspire me. Going through life we hear a lot of people say a lot of different things, but some resonate with us more than others. I took those special moments that spoke to me and tried to incorporate them into my music. The voices of world-renowned musicians, philosophers and thinkers resonate throughout the album, giving it an additional dimension that accompanies the music. The album works as a whole, each track playing its own part in a larger, more coherent story, outlining a tale of self-doubt, self-realization, death and rebirth.
Track List:
- Nice To Meet You
- Me, Myself and I
- Are We There Yet
- Is That All There Is
- Goodbye Cruel World
- For the Love of God
- Tell Us About the Lobster
- I Don`t Like Jazz
- It`s a Boy

About me
I studied classical guitar at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana and with Eliot Fisk at Mozarteum University in Salzburg. After finishing the university I started exploring other genres (flamenco, jazz, rock) trying not only to perform but also to compose, arrange and produce my own music. As a result of that I developed my own sound and style of playing. The album “Things People Say” is a direct product of these experiments, trying to create a new, not yet heard sonic environment for nylon string guitar.
trio
I am currently collaborating with bass player Dejan Hudoklin (SLO) and drumer/percussionist Marco Cali (ITA). Together we are re-arranging some of my older compositions and working on some newer ones which I specifically composed with a trio setup in mind. New music with two amazing musicians is also a great opportunity for new concert performances, they will be announced soon.
My home studio
I had an opportunity to acquire an old analog console (Studer) which has become a centerpiece of my home studio, where I now record, produce and mix not only my music but also music for a number of amazing artists. Music recording, production and sound engineering are fields that interest me greatly and I am happy to work with you, sharing my knowledge and expertise. Below you can see a small list of artists I had the privilege to work with.
