Samo Kutin – voice, one-string bass, lute, brac, acoustic resonators, percussion

The KAČIS trio is composed of Tea Vidmar, Ana Kravanja and Samo Kutin. Their individual   musical expression comes together in the exploration of folk music and some forms of improvised musical interpretations, but they’re also interested in intertwining various musical genres.

Besides non-idiomatic improvisation Samo and Ana also compose imaginary folk music and explore the sonic characteristics of materials of various instruments. And and Tea as a duo have dedicated themselves to repetitive rhythmic singing, composed of simple voices, syllables, breathing noises, reminiscent of old folk traditions from around the world. The intertwining of their sometimes really similar voices creates the feeling of the presence of a ‘third voice’.

We could say that their main interest is the transition of modern sounds of free improvisation into the archaic character of melodies, voices and sounds of unknown origin. The trio began their creative process in Decembre of 2020 at the nine day musical residence ‘Dvocikel’ at the Layer house in Kranj, where the nine compositions began to take shape.
