In the late 1970s the Slovene music scene was washed by a wave of creative daring, with no one embodying it as uniquely as Miha Kralj. After performing with the groups Dekameroni (for which he wrote the hit song Sava šumi) and Prah, he struck out on his own as a one-man band, using early synthesisers and a sophisticated ear for sound to create a distinctive electronic world.

In 1980 he released Andromeda, regarded as the first electronic album in the former Yugoslavia. Its “spacey” soundscape was an unexpected hit both at home and abroad, and the album’s title track accompanied footage of ski flying from Planica for decades.

Despite frequent comparisons to electronic music and synthpop pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre, Kralj’s style remains unique: beautiful, introspective and unwaveringly focused on the future. A Miha Kralj concert is a rare opportunity to encounter an artist who, as a pioneer of electronic music, left an indelible mark on the sonic landscape of his home country and gave it a brand-new, previously unimagined dimension.
