The Miracle of Čadrg/ Čudež iz Čadrga
During the restoration of the forest ponds, submerged tree trunks were discovered in the mud near the village of Čadrg. Mysteriously, only a portion of the wood—fir trunks—had survived, enduring millennia while remaining exceptionally healthy, which is why the Triglav National Park Institute of Slovenia named the discovery the Miracle of Čadrg.
Dendrochronological analysis in Ljubljana confirmed its remarkable age, while radiocarbon analysis in Vienna, Austria, revealed a more precise timeframe—approximately 6,560 years old.
Med obnovo kalov v gozdu so v mulju pri vasi Čadrg odkrili potopljena debla. Skrivnostno so se ohranila le debla jelke - les, ki je preživel tisočletja in ostal izjemno zdrav, zato so na Zavodu Triglavski narodni park odkritje poimenovali čudež iz Čadrga.
Dendrokronološka analiza v Ljubljani je potrdila izjemno starost, radiokarbonska analiza na Dunaju pa je razkrila natančnejši časovni okvir – starost okoli 6.560 let.
Mother Violin instruments / Mother Violin instrumenti
From this wood, violin maker Musek is creating a very limited series of instruments. It is estimated that up to 12 instruments can be made, enough to assemble a string quartet and a small string orchestra. The first violin, already completed, impresses not only with its remarkable story and distinctive appearance but above all with its exceptional acoustic qualities, which have already captivated several eminent violinists. This demonstrates that the wood has not only survived but has transformed into an extraordinary resonant material.
Because the amount of wood is extremely limited, each instrument will be unique—both in terms of the material and the story, as well as, as has been proven, in its exceptional sound characteristics.
Iz tega lesa mojster goslar Daniel Musek ustvarja zelo omejen nabor instrumentov. Ocenjuje se, da bo mogoče izdelati do 12 instrumentov, iz katerih bo mogoče sestaviti godalni kvartet in manjši godalni orkester. Prva violina, ki je že izdelana, poleg izjemne zgodbe in posebnega videza preseneča predvsem z vrhunskimi akustičnimi lastnostmi, nad katerimi so se navdušili že nekateri eminentni violinisti. To dokazuje, da se les ni le ohranil, ampak se je preoblikoval v izjemen resonančni material.
Ker je količina lesa izjemno omejena, bo vsak instrument edinstven – tako po materialu kot po zgodbi, kot se je izkazalo tudi po izjemnih zvočnih lastnostih.
Unique Aspects of the Project/ Posebnosti projekta
Mother Violin is not just an instrument, but also:
• an ambassador of Slovenian nature and creativity,
• a platform for promoting high-quality craftsmanship among young people,
• an initiative for the sustainable use of resonant wood,
• an artistic program that will showcase Slovenian creativity and harmony with nature on a global scale.
Mother Violin ni le glasbilo, ampak tudi:
• ambasadorka slovenske narave in ustvarjalnosti,
• osnova za promocijo vrhunskih rokodelskih obrti med mladimi,
• pobuda za trajnostno ravnanje z resonančnim lesom,
• umetniški program, ki bo globalno predstavljal slovensko ustvarjalnost in sonaravnost.
