\u201cWhat an incredulous and happy coincidence! During my frequent visits to Se\u017eana, I recently bought two poetry collections by Sre\u010dko Kosovel in a local bookshop. This is precisely why I became interested in him and passionate about his work almost immediately,\u201d reads the reply to our invitation to Italian vibraphonist Pasquale Mirra to create a special project based on Kosovel\u2019s poetry for the Ljubljana Jazz Festival in the year we celebrate 100 years from poet\u2019s too early death. The creative forces were set in motion instantly.<\/p>\n

Mirra, a classically educated percussionist who discovered jazz through the sound of the vibraphone \u2013 and vice versa \u2013 elevates the compositions of his collaborators with virtuosity, attentiveness and empathy. Among them are Rob Mazurek, Hamid Drake, Shabaka Hutchings, Moor Mother, Trilok Gurtu, William Parker, Fred Frith, Nicole Mitchell, Ballak\u00e9 Sissoko, Jeff Parker, Tomeka Reid, James Brandon Lewis and Mulatu Astatke. Mirra\u2019s music is atmospheric, airy, heartfelt, sharp-edged, subtle, elusive, organic and mechanical \u2013 when he wants it to be, at times otherworldly, yet strangely familiar. He says the essence lies in the idea of sound, not in the technique of playing, in which he uses a wide array of percussion instruments and tools.
\nThis approach parallels that of Kosovel\u2019s, who explored new forms of expression and stylistic techniques to find a deeper insight into humanity, society and the signs of the times. His Kons\u2019 are impromptu improvisations; his Integrals\u2019 \u2013 as noted by his contemporary Anton Ocvirk \u2013 a brand-new world, a world of dissonance, antitheses, absurdities, explosions and jarring disharmonies.<\/p>\n

Kosovel = vision \u221e Human > humanity<\/p>\n

Mirra approaches sound intuitively, sensing the hidden meanings in the vowels and consonants within the Slovenian poet\u2019s verses. In sharp rhythms and fragmented chords, he searches for new function, new content. The instrumentation, handpicked for this commissioned work, echoes three conceptual currents in Kosovel\u2019s poetry: the nature-oriented; the constructivist, social-revolutionary focused; and the lyrical-intimate-confessional turn. The soundscape of Pasquale Mirra will unfold gradually in two performances at \u0160tih Hall, as Kosovel\u2019s poetry slowly reveals itself over time.<\/p>\n

The synesthetic effect it evokes will be further explored by Petra Strban \u2013 painter and graphic artist \u2013 who will create her own visual interpretation of Jagged Rhythms on screen in response to Mirra\u2019s music.<\/p>\n


\nJagged Rhythms *
\n<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m the broken arc
\nof a circle,
\nthe cracked form
\nof some statue,
\nand someone’s stifled
\nthought.
\nI\u2019m a force
\ncleft by distress.
\nAs if I\u2019m walking
\non splinters,
\nI can\u2019t bear your calm
\npresence any longer.<\/p>\n
