Iztok Koren

Artist

Iztok Koren je član svetovno priznane imaginarne folk zasedbe Širom, post-rock benda ŠKM Banda in hrupnega industrial dvojca Hexenbrutal. Velja za enega najbolj ekspresivnih mojstrov strunskih glasbil na Slovenskem. Navdahnjeni multiinstrumentalist je debitantski solo album “Osamljene hvalnice in stebri praznine” predlani izdal pri britanski založbi Takuroku, ki jo vodi londonski center avantgardnih glasb Cafe OTO.

Zaprite oči in pustite, da vas njegova glasba popelje na introspektivno zvočno popotovanje, posejano s trenutki mistične zamaknjenosti.
