I'm a headstrong, abstract thinking man, who has been given the name Rok a little more than 28years ago. In my life I like to express myself through different forms of art such as drawing graphics (both on paper and other tangible basis, as well as in Adobe Illustrator), production of useful wooden products, etc. By inventing new stone instuments I combine two of my biggest interests - design and music.

Nesesari Kakalulu is a Slovenian band of nine instrumentalists that gathered together with the purpose of creating rhytmically orientated music which would enchant listeners with awaking positive vibrations and desire to dance. From the first inspiration of Fela Kuti`s musical legacy which brought members of this band together, band went on to create it`s own contemporary musical ritual in the spirit of sub-saharan rhytms. Hypnotic basslines are accompanied with polyrhytmic repetitive guitar rhythms, congas are in dialog with drums, brass section flows from ensemble heads to improvised solos, and altogether is spiced up with the touch of colorful percussion set. With the combination of specified grooves and collective improvisation, this small orchestra represents an alternative to dominating mechanical electronic dance music, taking it`s dance ritual into more primal organic human form.

Music, Movies, and Books

It is too difficult to choose but I'll give a try.
I realy like music from jazz (Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk,...) trough afrobeat, progressive rock to modern electronic music. The specter is quite wide open and I am ready to get to know new music.
