Robert Petrič highlights that music shouldn’t become museum art, and that there should always be emerging new musical works. They applied the project to Kickstarter and believe it will encourage other bands to do something similar, and alsos the project may open the doors for Slovenian composers abroad. »We wanted to professionalize all parts of production in the music, from composing, through to the artist and producer« Petrič said.
