On this episode, my guest is Jure Pukl, a world-class saxophone player, improviser, and a truly brilliant musician. I am really fond of him and I really enjoy his sense of humour.
We also share a couple of similarities: we both come from our hometown, Velenje, and we both moved back to Slovenia after years of living abroad.
This episode is about jazz, improvisation, and he will share his hilarious story about his musical upbringing; you have to hear it to believe it. All the way to enjoying life as it is and embracing what it gives you.
He also used an NFT as artwork on one of his recent albums called Melt.
We will also discuss the experience and the importance when people/teachers doubt in you. It is not nice, of course, BUT! I realised I would not change a ‘not nice experience’ for anything, because it gave me a chance to grow stronger from it, and to realise what I really want and make that even more meaningful.
I think one of the problems today is that society is trying to protect and prevent people from ‘not nice’ experiences (parents trying to remove everything unpleasant in their life, or society with its close to paranoid political correctness). I believe we have to be challenged in order to train our mental resilience. I see it like training a sport, body, or craft as artists for that matter. (Of course, as long as it is not life-threatening.)
How can we ever get stronger or wiser if not through a set of challenges in life?

#10 Crafting guitars, embracing the discomfort and the now with MIROSLAV TADIĆ | Sound Mind Podcast
On this episode, my guest is Miroslav Tadić, a Serbian guitarist, composer and a professor at CalArts university in Los Angeles. He has been named by the editors of Guitar Player Magazine as one of the 30 most radical and individual guitarists in the world.
He is for me a huge inspiration when it comes to guitar playing, guitar sound, incorporating tradition into your pieces and flow of energy during a performance. I discovered his music many years ago by listening to a famous guitar duo which he had with Vlatko Stefanovski. Having the possibility to talk to Miroslav and ask him all these questions was a huge privilege and it felt like I can finally ask him all these questions that piled up through the years of listening to his music.
Alongside his guitar playing insights, pre-concert and warm-up routines he will also share his journey of being a luthier, how his musical journey started and some valuable comments on perfectionism, happiness and enjoying the moment regardless of how it feels like.
Don’t miss it!
