Šalter Ensemble operates on the border between free improvisation and composition, focusing on collective processes as a central part of its practice. The project is an international electroacoustic ensemble initiated in 2017 by Jonas Kocher in collaboration with Zavod Sploh Ljubljana and Izlog Festival Zagreb. Since its inception, the ensemble has performed at numerous festivals and venues across Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Serbia. In 2021, it released the album Štiri dela.
Bringing together musicians from diverse backgrounds—including jazz, traditional and folk music, contemporary improvisation, and electronic music—Šalter Ensemble thrives on the interplay of different generations and artistic perspectives.
