Bass
Janez is most at home in progressive jazz-rock though he does not limit himself in terms of genre. He is prolific both as a bassist and author, most notably with the internationally acclaimed progressive fusion band Moonlight Sky, which is a force in its own right. He was also the "gunn for hire" session bassist, recording for the cream of Slovenian musicians.

Holding a BA and MA in violin, Ana is employed by Slovenia's best symphony, RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra. She has ample experience in popular music, ranging from folk (the notorious Brencl Banda) as far as metal (she played on Noctiferia's Transnatura album).
Her presence adds a more profound and sensitive complexity, at times straddling the divide between folk and classical music. She is very busy as a composer of modern classical music within the framework of her project - Nakana, so we hope you get to see her at our next gig.

There and Back Again
What is Home?
The concept Album "There and Back Again" - "Tja in spet nazaj" explores the concept of 'home'. It was written as a reflection of the authors' residency between the UK and Slovenia, friendship stretching to the US, and family.
Genre is a Medium
The album makes use of different genres to better communicate the emotion and subtext of the messages of individual songs. Its eclectic selection of original songs that truly defy labeling. In a way this is unfortunate because it is sometimes considered impractical in this day and age to transgress the limitations of genre; it makes it harder for the audience to find your music, but it makes for an interesting album and a colourful night out
Language is a Medium
The album is largely bilingual, because the author spent time between the UK and his Slovenian home – and the choice of language was used to underscore the concept. Most of the songs exist in either language – in fact only two do not. The tour focuses on the English lyrics, but allows the audience a taste of the unique language that is Slovenian.
