Dear friends of contemporary music, we invite you to the presentation of the new vinyl record EX YU ELECTRONICA X, which will take place on Friday, 28 October 2022 at 7 p.m. at MMC KIBLA.
The 10th edition of the EX-YU ELECTRONICA series ends where it began – in Maribor, Slovenia. One of the northermost industrial cities in the former Yugoslavia. It is dedicated to the pioneer and supporter of electroacoustic, electronic and experimental music, Marko Ornik, who died in 2019.
For the concept of the 10th edition, we took the life and work of Marko Ornik as an example. Especially his time in Maribor. His music project Abbildungen Varieté was a pioneer of avant-garde, experimental electronic music in the 1980s, together with many other experimenters of the time in Maribor. Thus, half of the album is dedicated to this Maribor period. Together with Abbildungen Varieté, it is complemented by Mario Marzidovšek, Kloopotec and ŠDRTVO.
Also in 2019, Maribor’s individualist musician Stanislav Klavžer – Stana left us. He participated in various acoustic projects in the 70s, later also engaged in painting and writing. Since 2005, he has been making synthesized music. An excerpt from his composition N.V. concludes the A side of EX-YU ELECTRONICA vol. X.
After returning from art studies abroad in the late 2000s, Ornik became known for organizing projects at the intersection of computer art, music and video. Thus, for many years he successfully led the International Festival of Computer Arts, founded the Uho; Oko: institute, was a co-founder of the Udarnik art cinema, and organized increasingly recognizable art-concert events, which later became the Beli šum (white noise) concert series. He brought many artists from abroad to Maribor, as well as introduced Slovenian and Maribor artists of electronic music to the public. The second part of the album is dedicated to these artists and the increasingly recognizable Maribor »noise« scene. Performing artists include: Kikiriki, Mono Scarves, Chemomorph, Petrusaur and Ontervjabbit.
