Solar Pulse Music is a very agile and very cool collective organising concerts of independent music bands in Maribor. And they’ve been doing this already for the last ten years (time really does fly)!

To celebrate that momentum, they put together a four day festival bringing us some of the best underground and indie bands from Slovenia (plus guests from Austria and Finland), featuring many, many different musical styles. Or as they say about themselves: "SolarPulseMusic represents all genres of music, coming from autonomous creative-productive conditions and possess their own criteria. In accordance with the deficit of musical content within the wider community and the region and the interests of the organizing collective, a stylish diversity is ruled, ranging from indietronics, electronics, atmosphere, avant-garde, concrete music, noise, hardcore and other genres, which identify with surpassing genre frameworks; if there is a necessary limit, then a creative relationship between the 'guitar' and 'electronic' music is what we can speak of."

I felt really honoured and happy when they asked me to photograph the festival as their official photographer - we all enjoyed the experience very much! :)

All the best to you Solar Pulse Music, to many, many years of great concerts and festivals! ;)

Nina Bulatovix + Haiku Garden

Salon uporabnih umetnosti, Maribor (Slovenia), 28/10/2016

Great double bill night with two brilliant and loud Slovenian bands in the accompanying programme of Stop Trik movie festival!

Triko + VVhile

Pekarna, Dvorana Gustaf, Maribor (Slovenia), 14/05/2015

Another great Solar Pulse night in Maribor with Triko and VVhile from Belgrade, Serbia!

The Ills + Čao Portorož + Ooral Sea

Pekarna, Dvorana Gustaf, Maribor (Slovenia), 24/04/2015

Another great concert night organised by Maribor's very active Solar Pulse collective, with 3 great bands!

Helika

Pekarna, Dvorana Gustaf, Maribor (Slovenia), 07/02/2015

Second gig of the night for me, big night for me and my wife (she's a violinist in the band) and probably best live performance from the band so far!

Nina Bulatovix + Y

Jazz klub Satchmo, Maribor (Slovenia), 06/02/2015

After a bit more than 3 years, I had the opportunity to shoot another great concert of Slovenian pust-punk trio Nina Bulatovix and it was awesome, as expected!

Benefit for Dvorana Gustaf

Pekarna, Dvorana Gustaf, Maribor (Slovenia), 22/12/2012

Underground culture means usually little money for organising the regular program and paying the monthly bills. Winter months are especially problematic, since the heating bills can get pretty big and that's where this benefit concert for helping the Gustaf club comes to play!

Nina Bulatovix

Pekarna, Dvorana Gustaf, Maribor (Slovenia), 23/12/2011

Probably the last shooting gig in the year 2011, was my first proper concert of Slovenian trio Nina Bulatovix (saw them before briefly on one small festival), which was quite nice & loud experience.
