108 | Rekli ste da su vas „Bitlsi“ naučili svemu. Da li još mislite da nema bolje muzike od one koje su oni svirali? – Ako mislite na pop i rok muziku, oni su toliko toga napravili da je nemogućenakonnjihbiti nov, inovativan, inspirisan i kreativan. Naravno, nepotcenjujemništa što jebilo i prenjih i nakon njih, ali takoličinakreativnosti i inspiracijeza takomalovremena, to jekosmički fenomen.Njihovsongbukmi stojiporedfoteljeudnevnoj sobikaopodsetnik. Ko je za vas najbolji gitarista na svetu? – Najbolji gitarista na svetu je onaj mali dečak od 10 godina koji je zalepio nos za izlog prodavnice instrumenata i koji čezne da dobije instrument u koji se zagledao. Čežnja i strast vas čine najboljim. A ovi koji glume veličine, kod njih više nema soka, odavno su ga iscedili boreći se sa svetom, šou biznisom, privatnim problemima i ličnim sujetama… I nakraju, ali nenajmanjebitno: Prilep, Skoplje, Kruševo... Kada biste pozvali goste u te gradove, šta biste im rekli, zašto moraju da dođu? –Većgodinamazovemjednogprijatelja iz SlovenijedaposetiMakedoniju. Bio je na Tibetu, u Londonu, Tajlandu, Americi i Indiji u potrazi za muzikom i duhovnim rastom. Ali ako je London metropola svetske pop muzike, a Njujorkcentarmodernogdžeza,Makedonijabimoglabitinajbolja tačkazaotkrivanjenajboljihtradicijabalkanskemuzike, uzdužnopoštovanjepremamuzici svih naroda imuzikekojasesvirau regionu. Ali omagiji senemožegovoriti, ona se mora osetiti, ima tog ovde i suviše… After variousmusical andcreative experiences, collaborating with bigbands, rockers, fusiongroups andchamberorchestras,hisprevious album sawhimaddress his audience intimately. Alonewithhisguitar, amasterof quick ngers, oneof thekingsof the strings - Vlatko Stefanovski. At the upcoming jubilee 20th Guitar Art Festival he will again delight all guitar lovers, this time inaduetwith the masterful Miroslav Tadić. At their Sava Centre concert they will perform a continuation of the famous “Kruševo”, while Vlatko will again nd himself in company that makes him feel at home. “Bringing together guitarists, professors, maestros who manufacture instruments, traders and all guitar enthusiasts in one place is a holiday for us all. I’ve follow the development of the Guitar Art Festival since the very beginning andwitnessed all of its ups anddowns... As far as I’mable, I try togivemyowncontributiontothedevelopment of this guitar community...” Youwill performfor uswithMiroslav Tadić again on 16th March, presentingthelong-awaited“Kruševo2”project.Whatwillwehearandwhatdoes collaborationbetweentwosuchmaestros even look like? - Miroslav and I already have a demo that we recorded in my studio, but we are a long way from a completed album. I believe we could record that this year, but it’s more important where we’ll record it than when. If we want to continue the trend of recording in environments with signi cant acoustics, we need to nd a place on the planet where we need to do that. I’ve had very ambitious ideas about that, but I don’t want to say anything until everything has been agreed. When it comes to collaboration with Miroslav, that has endured for a long time, and I refer to our joint performing as cognitive resonance. Without looking,wehead in thesamedirectionandshift left or right without reaching agreement... At a previous edition of the festival I spoke with Tommy Emmanuel, who only hadwords of praise for you, but whoalsotoldmethatwas tormented byyourrhythms.Howdidyouexplain that something Macedonian to him, can you even explain that? - I have even more words of praise for him... He is a unique guitar genius who can perform almost everything on an acoustic guitar. And when it comes to my presenting of Macedonia and the Balkans, I didn’t insist on themost di cult rhythms, rather I adjustedthethemes tomake itcomfortable forhimtoplay too. It’snot easy toplay irregular rhythms if youdidn’t growupwith that music. And the idea isn’t to frustrate someone, rather to inspire them. DoyouspeakwithhimandwithRosenberg,anddoyoumissbeingtheKings of Strings? The Beatles created so much that, after them, it’s impossible to be new, innovative, inspired and creative. Their songbook stands beside an armchair inmy living room, as a reminder „Bitlsi“ su toliko toga napravili da je nemoguće nakon njih biti nov, inovativan, inspirisan i kreativan. Njihov songbuk mi stoji pored fotelje u dnevnoj sobi kao podsetnik O magiji se ne može govoriti, ona se mora osetiti, ima tog ovde i suviše... You can’t speak about magic, it must be felt, and here there’s an overabundance of that...
