    Izšel je album Pozabljena ljudstva!

    Pri založbi Celinka 29. novembra izide album zasedbe Goran Krmac kvartet z naslovom Pozabljena ljudstva. Še istega dne pa bo predstavljen v Klubu Cankarjevega doma na ciklu Cankarjevi torki!

    Člani zasedbe Eduardo Raon (harfa), Janez Dovč (harmonika), Goran Krmac (tuba) in Nino Mureškič (tolkala) izvajajo Goranove kompozicije, ki predstavljajo refleksijo na spoznanje: ideali, ki jih nam ponuja prevladujoče globalno socialno-ekonomsko stanje, niso to, kar se zdijo. Obstaja še veliko več. Čeprav so odrinjena v pozabo, obstajajo pomembna znanja in modrosti o odnosih do človeka in do okolja. Izbrati, da delujemo v skladu s temi znanji, pomeni izbrati boljše življenje. A zgodovina se ne ustavlja. Morebiti bodo tudi modrosti in znanja modernega človeka nekoč odrinjena v pozabo.

    Avtor je doživetja in občutke prenesel v glasbene motive, ki so namenjeni improvizaciji, humorju in neobremenjenim izbruhom radosti. Glasba je izvirna in nenavadna, nastala pa je iz vplivov jazza, klasične, ljudske in elektronske glasbe.

    Album Pozabljena ljudstva pa vsebuje prav posebno “knjižico” – vaš pametni telefon! Stilizirana, a delujoča QR-koda na ovitku vam pomaga odkriti proces komponiranja in ustvarjanja te glasbe.

    Koncert 29. novembra prične ob 20h, na njem pa se bodo zvrstili naslednji nastopajoči: Koichi Makigami, Akira Sakata & Dojo ter Goran Krmac kvartet, ki se bo predstavil še na samostojnem koncertu 9. decembra v Kulturnem domu Izola.

  • Impressions & Intentions

    Impressions & Intentions

    The week is over and I’m very pleased to say that the concert was brilliant and the recording session went wonderfully. Not only we recorded the intended material, but we ended up capturing moments of spontaneous creation, and I’m sure they will find their place onto the finished album.

    The amount of work to be done could never have been done without such a great team. Nino, Janez, Eduardo, and Igor made my music happen, for which saying I’m thankful would be an understatement.

    Time for Phase Two: Post-Production.

  • Goran Krmac Quartet: Studio Time

    Goran Krmac Quartet: Studio Time

    This week is dedicated to recording my new album with the working title ‘Tatovi vode’ (Water Thieves).

    After two extensive rehearsals Monday and Tuesday, a concert will follow in Ljubljana’s ZOO club on Wednesday, and eventually we will be spending Friday and Saturday at the wonderfully inspiring Studio Duplek to record.

    I’m thankful to the crew that makes this possible, investing their time and believing in this project.

    The album will be released this fall.

  • Playing the Studio

    Playing the Studio

    Mixing is now underway for the Goran Krmac Quartet live recordings. The process is taking place in a home studio in the Prešnica village, overlooking a green valley whose landscape and soundscape are occasionally pierced by a freight train dashing in and out of distant tunnels at the far side of the valley.
    The recorded material is in good hands and that’s for two reasons. First of all, I have the privilege of getting my sound done by Gaber consistently over the years on every gig with Rudi Bučar. This way, Gaber has come to know Janez’s and my expressive range on our respective instruments. This knowledge comes in different layers, both from a technical as well as an intuitive/emotional point of view. This brings us to the second reason: Gaber’s approach to mixing appeals to me as the main goal is to help bring out the mood and emotion that the artist wants to convey with each piece of music. Interestingly, the end result may or may not sound ‘good’ or ‘correct’. But it sure sounds unique and honest.Needless to say, the more skill a sound engineer acquires, the more they can attain the desired result with ease and precision. Gaber’s high skill level means we can talk as musicians, keeping our focus on the musical goals that we set together. Basically, he plays the studio as if it were a musical instrument.This way of working has helped me further define my relationship with my music, both challenging me to and letting me express myself.Can’t wait to let all of you hear the music once it’s ready!
