Artist-in-residence: There Be Monsters

There Be Monsters (SI, IT)

Boštjan Simon, tenor and bariton sax; Mirko Cisilino, trumpet and trombone; Luigi Vitale, vibraphone and balafon; Goran Krmac, tuba; Kristijan Krajnčan, drums

The ensemble There Be Monsters led by Boštjan Simon has released three albums over nearly a decade of activity—the most recent Rubikon in 2022. Now, after a three-year hiatus, this dynamic quintet emerges once more, reigniting the stage with a fresh repertoire and a slightly reimagined lineup. The departure of drummer Bojan Krhlanko has made way for the talented Kristijan Krajnčan, a longtime collaborator of Simon, author of the performance Med se iskri v temi and a member of Robert Jukič Quartet.

This five-headed musical beast is renowned for its exuberant, whimsical, and delightfully unpredictable arrangements, complemented by bursts of inventive and essential improvisation. At the heart of their sound lies a profound and mysterious softness — a unifying force that ties together their expansive, multifaceted sonic explorations, both in tone and style.
