Sluhodvod

Sluhodvod (Auditory-derivate) is a platform for extended and more intensive searching, experimentation, testing, and networking among musicians (improvisers, performers of contemporary composed music, composers, and sound artists), musicologists and other theorists, as well as practitioners from other fields of expression.

For the realization of Sluhodvod in 2026, we invited Tisa Neža Herlec, who was selected as an artist-in-residence at Švicarija. The justification stated that “through her performative orientation, she engages the local community while also positioning her work within an international context. The project addresses the human voice as a means of expression that is both individual and shared by all; the artist significantly expands its use as a mode of bringing people together and fostering broader connections.”

Sluhodvod: Zborovanje includes regular meetings, workshops, and public presentations.
Zborovanje is an experimental non-choir for all voices, where, through regular gatherings, we focus on exploring a distinctive form of polyphony.

Shy? Clear? Loud? Thunderous? Gentle? Timid?
The voice is an instrument we all possess, yet we are rarely aware of it and seldom give it special attention …

Tisa Neža Herlec, a vocalist and multimedia artist, develops experimental methods and compositions for the multiple voice, aiming to empower and amplify the restrained voice while seeking inspiring harmonies beyond the conventions of choral singing.

Zborovanje is open to everyone; no prior experience is required, though the courage to overcome fear in using one’s voice is encouraged.
Meetings take place on Sundays, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., at Španski Borci in Ljubljana.

Tisa Neža Herlec: The Gathering: An Insight, audio-visual archive of the first non-performance

18.00–20.00: Tisa Neža Herlec: The Gathering: An Insight, audio-visual archive of the first non-performance

As part of the Young Artists Residency, Tisa Neža Herlec initiates the communal experimental anti-choir The Gathering (Zborovanje), which is an extension of her vocal, performative and community-based multidisciplinary artistic practice.

You are invited to the studio for a chat with the artist and an insight into the audio-visual archive of the first non-performance “Spring”, a sound-and-voice walk that took place on the March equinox in a forest and urban clearing in Ljubljana. The visual documentation was created by Peter Fettich and Sara Rman (KELA).

The Gathering is an anti-choir for all voices, open to everyone. No prior experience is required, courage to overcome the fear of using one’s voice is desirable, as is an openness to exploration, improvisation and experimentation in sounding and community.

Preparations for the non-performance “Summer” are well underway. The event will take place by the River Mura on 21 June 2026, co-produced by Pavlova hiša / Pavelhaus and Zavod Sploh.

You are warmly invited to join our (almost) regular meetings on Sundays from 18.00 to 20.00 at Švicarija and Tivoli Park. For exact dates and times, please write to world.tisa@gmail.com.
