We're here to trace a line from electronic sound designers to classical composers, connecting them through the realms of ambient & cinematic music.

Tine Grgurevič (born in 1983 in Ljubljana), who goes by the name Bowrain, is a Slovenian composer, pianist, and music producer. Since 2014, when his debut album Far Out was released, Bowrain has been fascinating audiences with his unconventional music, which combines piano, composition, vocals, DJing and producing. This genre-bending music extends from classical and jazz to ambient, electronica, ethno and indie pop. This album was followed in 2017 by Distracted: a substantively engaging piece of music that responds to the challenges of that time’s political (Saudade, Asil, Refugee) and social issues (Time, Continuum, Home), with the piano at the heart of the album’s intimacy. In January 2020, Bowrain offered up a grandiose musical project entitled 2020 Seconds Alive, that envisioned as a journey through his life and musical outposts, with an emphasis on his collaboration with the South African band The Brother Moves On. This project was strongly influenced by Bowrain’s one-month residency in Johannesburg in December 2019. In 2022, Bowrain released two collaborative albums, Not Exactly Lost and BLOOM, which he created with musician and painter Luka Uršič - KALU and the multimedia artist JAŠA.
In April 2023, he released a solo album entitled Heal Me, which was recorded and mixed by Simon Goff in Berlin’s Vox – Ton studio. In addition to his full-length albums, he has also released several singles and EPs and composed music for works in the fields of visual arts, performing arts, and theater. He performs internationally, most often in Europe, but has also performed in the United States and South Africa. Bowrain’s live performances are delightfully unpredictable. Sometimes he appears with the accompaniment of a trio, a small orchestra or a choir, while in other cases he appears alone at the piano, with or without electronics.

“That’s why this wonderful album, is healing in nature and it’s no surprise that the trackHeal Me closes it. It’s as if you slowly enter the space opened by the piano pastoral, as a simple expression of strengthening the spirit and unwavering optimism when it comes to people, nature, vivid glowing colours, blue sky, hills and valleys, birdsong and joyful children’s chirping. All the way to love.”
- Miroslav Akrapović (Odzven) about the album Heal Me.

“Composer Tine Grgurevič drifts effortlessly between avantgarde jazz, pop and electronic music with a keen sense for minimalism and clarity that distinguishes his style across genres” - Eric Moses

X.U.L (Gašper Selko) uses music as a language by combining contemporary classical with elements of minimalism and experimental electronic music to explore the unique interaction between music and it's listeners. He played trumpet in his younger years, then went on to study music at a conservatory level. After finishing the Conservatory for Music in Ljubljana, he continued his studies at the Academy of Music Ljubljana where he graduated in a class of Tibor Kerekeš. During this time, he had already started experimenting with various musical genres! 

 

He is a member of several bands: Leni Kravac, ''MUSCAH," Good Vibration, and Yanu, Kamnik City Band. He also collaborates with many artists and groups such as Noctiferia, Murat and Jose, Igor Leonardi, Denis Beganovič, JaMirko, Damaris etc. Music is an important part of his life because everything he listens to, creates, and plays is a reflection of himself - from the power of metal to the perfection of classical music, and from the freedom of jazz to the diversity of folk and ethnic music, X.U.L.'s music is an integral part of who he is.
