Continuously pushing the boundaries and fusing different art forms, Kristijan Krajnčan is establishing himself as one of the most prolific and distinctive European artists of his generation. Virtuoso both on drums and violoncello, composer and filmmaker, he has long moved away from fitting into a single labeled drawer. On a constant exploration of new paradigms, his ambition is to weave ancient storytelling with modern creative techniques. He is a receiver of numerous international awards in all fields of his work. As of 2022 he released four albums with his solo project: self-titled DrummingCellist (2017), where he arranged Bach’s second cello suite and Arvo Part’s Fratres for classical cello and solo drums; Abraxas (2019), consisting of original music inspired by worldly mythologies and the work of C. G. Jung; Floating Sand (2021), a collaboration with Big Band RTV Slovenia, conducted by his father Lojze Krajnčan; and Zabučale Gore / The Mountains Roared (2022), where Slovenian folk music is re-imagined through the modern classical and improvisational concepts.
