Gregor Zemljic & Miha Klemencic are the longest established stars of the Slovene minimal music scene. They have released tracks under numerous names for projects such as Anorak, Jeremdam, Paldrame, Tadpole, Amderma, Savinto, MedvedekRobotek and their discography with these projects is already impressive.
Labels they have released for include Communiqué, The Black Label, Kial, Planet Rhythm, and Tresor. Top techno/electonica DJ's play their records worldwide. They have also written music for major and alternative theatre, ballet and experimental art performances (they are collaborating extensively with the artist Marko Peljhan on his multimedia projects) and also for films. In the year 2000 they were awarded the Studio City Boomerang Award (alternative Slovenian music awards) for the best live techno act in Slovenia and recently they won 1st prize at The 2002 RFI (Radio France International) Musiques Electroniques Award for the best electronic project in Central and Eastern Europe. They have worked as producers on many popular and non-commercial projects (among others with Laibach) and they keep close and creative ties with other creators of the Slovene computer music and electronic scene.
Their long awaited LP CD Numrebs is a beautiful work of art. Its subtle music develops within a spectre of pure modern minimalism, using slow, hypnotic, but groovy, rhythms and linear structures, clean on the surface yet filled with fine layers and hidden data underneath. Thematically the songs are inspired by the poetry of numbers, mathematics, formulas, calculations, calculating machines and processes, with probability options, random operations, digital numerology and "above all" with the magic of fortuitous structural anagrams and subconscious mistakes. Suddenly numbers are not ťjustŤ the usual traditional signs and denotations, but reversible names with a playful character and independent content, liberated from the burden of the rigid and dull rules. And so is the music. A logarithmic masterpiece!
