Not Exactly Lost

Tine Grgurevič aka Bowrain, piano, synthesizer, vocals; Luka Uršič aka Kalu, vocals, synthesizer, drum machine

Sometimes great stories begin before the main protagonists even meet. The genre-blending and occasionally dreamy, sometimes melancholy but always impressively melodic songs masterminded by Bowrain and Kalu under the stage name Not Exactly Lost seem to have taken shape in a parallel time dimension and then waited for the right moment and the right creative dynamic to work their magic.

The Cankarjevi torki concert will be a sound journey taking the two artists on a quest for a form of free expression inspired by the audience. At the heart of the project is always the juxtaposition between following the form or daring to go the other way, between following the original inspiration or deviating from the usual route. This dynamic is also the inspiration for the title of the project, as it speaks of getting lost in the moment, which is, in the end, always the right way to go. Lost, but not exactly.

Luka Uršič KALU has been alternating between music and painting for more than 20 years. For the past 15 years, he has been collaborating with the artist JAŠA, as they discovered a common creative link precisely in blending visual arts, performing arts and music. He released his debut album, Get Well Soon, under the name KALU in 2018. He developed his musical talent also through collaborations with various Slovenian musicians, including Your Gay Thoughts, Katja Šulc and Polona Kasal.
