Zlatko Kaučič

To celebrate the forty years of career of the Slovenian musician the label Not Two has now releases Diversity, a sumptuous box of five CDs recorded live and in studio in the company of the best of the old and new European avant-garde, with Evan Parker, Lotte Anker, Phil Minton, Rafal Mazur & Agusti Fernandez among others. Zlatko Kaucic is an elusive musician. When you expect him to be in a specific sound place, he is already somewhere else. Kaucic is a musician who has developed a very personal style both on drums and percussion, using the most disparate materials such as everyday objects, toys, an electrified zither, metals of various types. Listening to the different performances captured between 2012 and 2017, we easily get the exaltation of the ritual dimension of making music. Silence, sound, gesture. Absolute concentration and pleasure of the game. An aesthetic with harsh lyricism and sardonic humor, lover of strong contrasts, always at the service of the utopia of a community of people who can find the way to communicate thanks to differences and not in spite of these.
