About me:

Who am I
The one who is
When she's not
Conceived
In lonely ravines
I am who I am
A stone
Grinded by the ocean of time
I am but a seed
That wind spreads
On the paths Unwandered
(written in bonny Borders, Scotland, in August 2003)

This is a beautiful vanishing Cerknica lake where I was growing up. Preciouss Slovenian poetess Neza Maurer once wrote a song about this breathtakingly unique nature's piece of work:
Peace is coming back to me
Like Cerknica lake
In its green basin
Dried for all the summer
From sources within it comes
I don't know them
But I know they are within me
They are mine
Tranquility is born in them
And so is love.

I'm an anthropologist/ethnologist/ethnomusicologist (as you like it) by profession and by passion. That - roughly translated - means I go places and nag people with all sorts of annoying questions about their life and times, music and whatnot. If you look at the cartoon below, all you have to do is picture kilted people trying to hide their super dooper sound desks or amps ('oh, where did that ancient grandad's fiddle made in China go?') instead and you get what I'm after :-)))



I'm a freelance music writer, covering mostly world/folk/trad/roots music from all over the globe. I am regularly publishing music articles, interviews, reviews, essays... in Slovene music magazine Muska (also a member of the publishing board), but done few bits and bobs for other Slovene magazines, newspapers (Mladina, Vecer...) and festivals (Druga godba, Boljunec etno festival). I have also published my writings in British newspapers and magazines, namely Songlines, The Shetland Times, Orkney Today, The Living Tradition, TMSA Scotland (my work was also credited in The Press and Journal, Shetland Weekly, and fRoots)... The chapter on Slovene music that will be published in the new 'The Rough Guide to World Music - Europe' is my fruit of labour as well.
