AnimotMUZIK is a concert series that takes place in parks and gardens throughout Slovenia. Invited musicians perform in natural environments, where the sound of non-human animals becomes the score or inspiration for their creation. The cycle is based on questioning established methods of musical expression and invites the audience to attentive listening. With an emphasis on the in-depth experience of soundscapes, it spreads awareness of the importance of nature for human culture and emphasizes its influence on artistic creation. It addresses an inclusive, compassionate and sound-rich possible future, where the concept of music is not limited to the framework of Anthropocene thinking.
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CONCERT SERIES
The ecological concert cycle starts every year in the spring, starting on the first Sunday in May and marking the International Day of Listening to the Dawn.
