    Beautiful cover photo of Kačis's debut album was taken by Vincent Moon at the waterfall Beri in Tolmin region in Slovenia where he also recorded a live video of band's song Burst into bloom barren land.
    After recording they found out that there is a legend of Beri waterfall which says that snakes taught people how to speak at that place and that's why a small river is called Gadiča ("gad" is in slovenian a specie of a snake) and waterfall is called Beri ("beri" in slovenian means reading).
    A legend could be conected to a pagan religion that secretly stayed alive in Tolmin region until 60's of previous century and was only than revealed through books by collector of folk tradition Pavel Medvešček.
    Band's name Kačis has a strong conection with snakes ("kača" in slovenian means snake).

about

As the trio Kačis, Ana Kravanja, Samo Kutin (both Širom, Olfamoštvo …) and Tea Vidmar (The Balkan Experience of Song and Ritual...) they present their debut album. Their individual musical creativity overlaps in the exploration of folk music and various forms of improvised music, as well as in the intertwining of the various musical genres they work and differ in.

Besides improvisation, Samo and Ana also compose imaginary folk music and explore the sonic characteristics of materials and instruments, while the duo of Ana and Tea have dedicated themselves to repetitive rhythmic singing, composed of simple voices, syllables and breathing noises, reminiscent of old folk traditions from around the world. The intertwining of their often similar voices creates the feeling of the presence of a “third voice”.

The trio’s main interests lie in the transition of the modern sounds of free improvisation into the archaic character of melodies, voices and sounds of unknown origin. They began their creative process in 2020 during the Dvocikel residency at Layer House in Kranj.
