THE WHEEL
The oldest wooden wheel, with an axle, was discovered in the Ljubljana Marshes, thus providing a viable explanation for Top Gear's disturbing popularity in Slovenia. The wheel is making its first public appearance in the City Museum of Ljubljana at the exhibition The Wheel - 5,200 Years Old, which links ancient heritage with technolgical and scientific development.

The exhibition will feature a short film by Marko Kocevar and Maja Bahar. Scored by Silence, the film displays the illustrious career of the wheel, a career even Justin Bieber would envy. The wheel can be found - in some form or other - in practically every piece of technology. We hope the ancient wheel maker was savvy enough to patent his brainchild.

The exhibition opens on Thursday and closes on April 20th 2014. After that, it will be showcased in several European cities. For more information, visit www.mgml.si (in Slovene and English).

Marusa Geymayer-Oblak

May 18th 2013
NEW SCORE: THREE FINGERS BELOW THE BELLY BUTTON
There's nothing quite as traditional as pornography. This is particularly evident in Tri prste pod popkom (Three Fingers Below the Belly Button), Marusa Geymayer-Oblak's new play, which features an ample selection of outrageously salacious Slovene traditional poems (some of which set to music by Silence). Produced by the Mladinsko Theatre, Tri prste pod popkom is to be presented at the upcoming Prelet (Overflight) festival. For further information, see Events - Related.

Ulay and Marina Abramovic

February 5th 2013
ULAY
Ulay, Damjan Kozole's intriguing full-length documentary about the "least known well-known artist", is to be released in spring. Describing Ulay as an interesting fellow would be somewhat of an understatement. After all, not many people have beaten cancer, slapped around Marina Abramovic and stolen a renowned painting from the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, for the sole purpose of hanging the picture on the wall of an apartment owned by Turkish immigrants. The film features a score by Silence. For further information, see Videos and The Vault

NEW THEATRE SCORE

Na tri kralja ili kako hocete (Twelfth Night; or, What You Will), Aleksandar Popovski's rendition of Shakespeare's rambunctious comedy (full of incurable romantics with a penchant for cross-dressing), opens this evening at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb. The play features an original score (and a selection of older recordings) by Silence. Four exclusive sound samples - including a demo version of the play's theme song - have been uploaded to Silence's SoundCloud profile. For further information, see The Vault and Events - Related.

NEW ALBUM
Are you tired of facing natural disasters, terrorist acts, nuclear meltdowns and stock market crashes blissfully unprepared? If so, we recommend purchasing Silence's new album, Musical Accompaniment for the End of the World (Songs for Two Pianos, Tactful Synths and Voice). This assorted collection of soothing and delightfully diverting songs is guaranteed to prevent upcoming disasters from ruining your day. Everything looks better with music; why should the end of the world be an exception? Don't hesitate, order now - tomorrow might be too late.

The CD comes in a hardy tin case, designed to withstand all types of disasters (except, perhaps, the lack of appreciation for irreverent humour). The box also contains a 16-page booklet with full lyrics and artwork. Order your copy in the Store section.

The record is also available as a download at silencezone.bandcamp.com.

Find out more about the album in the Discography section.
