electro-acoustic composer and musician working with sound layering and field recording modulation

Jaka Berger – Brgs is one of the most driven and well versed drummers and percussionists on Slovenia’s music scene over the past ten years. His debut, a free jazz record dubbed Bass Trio, made in collaboration with Achille Succi and Samo Šalamon, was released in 2006. He was a member of the percussion band StrojMachine, performing also with Katice and the legendary and now revived Borghesia, while today he is a permanent member of Ludovik Material and Darla Smoking. Together with Marko Karlovčec he formed the Radical Improvisation Duo, while he explores the more noisier sonic experiences alongside Vitja Balžalorsky as part of the project The B. Bees. Berger composes solo electro-acoustic pieces with sound layering and field recording modulation.
