[ENG translation] Jamming sessions, the 'Jure Maček Curve', and new music - A Joker Out interview

An interview with Bojan Cvjetićanin and Kris Guštin, published on the Gedankengroove website on 12.04.2024. Original article written by Elie Mück, photos by Elie Mück. English translation by olenalinasarah and @nyx-aira, proofread by IG GBoleyn123.

Note: As the interview was originally conducted in English, author Elie Mück collaborated with us to give us the original wording wherever it was necessary for the right meaning to come across. Thank you, Elie!

"What would I do in this black night without you?" That's what Joker Out ask themselves in their (as-yet) unreleased song Šta bih ja. I was able to visit the five men from Slovenia in Cologne at the end of March and talk with Bojan and Kris about the song and the 'See You Soon' tour, which was almost over at that time.

The indie rock band was able to reach a wide audience across Europe with their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. Their song Carpe Diem is their most successful release to date with over 20 million streams on Spotify. After several concerts across Europe and an arena show in their home country, Bojan, Kris, Nace, Jan, and Jure travelled to London at the beginning of the year. The two-month stay in London, which didn't only consist of playing Jenga and cooking (as their Instagram stories made it seem), served as preparation for a studio session in April. Before that, the group went on a European tour at the beginning of March, playing 22 concerts in 14 countries - including five shows in Germany. Kris and Bojan tell me what's behind the changing setlists and how the band comes together in jamming sessions.

Elie: To start with, how are you doing? Did you get to Cologne safely?

Bojan: We're doing well. We arrived this morning and slept until 1pm, so we're well rested. Cologne has treated us very well. The venue is perfect, very cosy, and the staff are great.

Elie: The tour is almost over, what are your impressions so far?

Bojan: To be honest, the tour has been fantastic so far! The time has gone by super fast. We've seen so many more cities than last time. When you start touring, you usually just visit the capital cities and imagine that those are the only places you can play. But this tour consists of mostly the second or third biggest cities in each country and the shows have been great so far. We are thrilled with how many people have come and how their reactions have been. So, we're having a lot of fun.

Elie: It's interesting to see that you're playing very different sized shows on this tour. The hall in Helsinki, for example, has a capacity of about 1,500 people, whereas in Munich only about 400 people fit in. What do you prefer? The bigger gigs or the smaller ones?

Kris: It depends a lot on the audience and our mood. We have to go on stage in a good mood. I don't think the number of people makes a difference. At least not at these sizes. An arena show with 10,000 people is comparatively very impersonal and you focus more on the show and what you're doing. I definitely prefer the smaller gigs, but a concert in front of 500 or 1,500 people feels about the same.

Elie: I've heard from other artists that they prefer the bigger concerts because they have more space on stage, is that similar for you?

Bojan: For me personally, the concerts with an audience of 1,500 people are the ones where I feel most comfortable. The stage is big enough for me to move around freely without a fear of tripping over something and it still feels like I can interact with every person in the room.

Elie: Compared to the tour in autumn, you are now playing a varying set. I looked at your setlists from the last few shows and it seems like you have two or three setlists that you alternate between. Who came up with that and why did you want to vary the set?

Bojan: I think we collectively came up with that. When you play 22 shows in a month, you can get stuck in routine. It can feel like things are just repeating themselves and the mood of the shows is, in a way, predetermined by the songs you play. That's why we decided to break it up and make it a bit more fun. It's very cool because we have three setlists and I have no idea which song is coming next. That's good for me because it's always a bit of a surprise. It makes the whole thing more exciting. The fans like it too. There have been some who came to several concerts and heard different songs each time.

Elie: How did you find out which songs work together?

Bojan: It was a long process.

Kris: We sit down together and try to find out what works best. It can take several days but sometimes it works straight away. Our drummer Jure has his own technique.

Bojan: We call it "The Curve".

Kris: The "Jure Maček Curve" which determines how our concerts should go in terms of mood. We decide, for example, that we should start with something energetic-

Bojan: Shh, we should keep that a secret (laughs).

Kris: So, if you have calculated everything with the "Jure Maček Curve", you have a very good set.

Elie: You also play three unreleased songs. Were these the songs that were most ready to be played live or did you have other songs in mind that you wanted to put on the setlist?

Bojan: We had a few more songs that we wanted to try out on the tour. Our idea was that we would have time during the soundchecks and in between to turn the songs into something playable. However, we have less time than we thought, which is why we decided to leave it at these three songs. I really like that because it turned out that one of the songs will definitely be the next single. The fans went totally crazy. Shortly after we had left the stage at the first concert in Helsinki, the lyrics to Šta bih ja were already online. Afterwards we were told that a TikTok of the performance had over 400,000 views, which is crazy. People are even singing along already. It was nice to see that. We've also found things we want to change about the songs. A few things that work and a few that don't work.

Elie: Have these things changed over the course of the tour?

Bojan: Not yet, we have decided to leave them as they are. But we definitely know what we want to change.

Elie: I heard that after the tour you will go to Hamburg to record your next album. What is your plan for the time in the studio?

Kris: What I think will happen in Hamburg is that we will take the first couple of days to record Šta bih ja. I think that song is the most unchangeable in its structure. We have to be quick if we want to release it as a single before the album in autumn. After that we have the rest of the time to work on the things that were created during our time in London, most of which aren't nearly as studio ready. We also recorded our biggest hit Carpe Diem in the studio in Hamburg. That one wasn't nearly as finished either when we got there, so I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Elie: In London you worked on new music in the form of jamming sessions. Did you ever get to a point where you had something like a "creative burnout"? If so, how did you manage to get back into a creative mindset?

Bojan: Definitely. I wouldn't say burnout, more like frustration. Jamming always needs all five of us and of course five different minds can't always work towards the same story. Sometimes things don’t go the way all of us would like it to go for a longer period of time. When that happens, our biggest help is our producer. He always finds the cause of the problem and works with us to find a solution. I think it's important to have someone as a kind of filter. We are all emotionally connected to our music and of course he is too, but in a different way. Our producer is like the sixth pair of eyes and therefore a very important part of the writing process.

Elie: In your latest single Everybody's Waiting you used a keyboard, which is new for you. Do you have any other things you'd like to try out for the new songs?

Kris: Jan bought a mandolin in Berlin. I'm sure that will come up in the studio.

Bojan: I'm sure we want to use more synthesiser. One song we're playing live at the moment originally had a riff that was played with the synthesiser but is now played with the guitar. This change takes away the whole point of the riff. There are many things we want to try out. I think we will also work with choirs or similar vocals. We want to be as free as possible with our creativity for this album.

Elie: We are definitely looking forward to what will happen. I really like the new songs. To finish, a question that I ask often: Which song or album do you think everyone should have listened to at least once in their life?

Kris: I listen to a lot of old music, so I can't recommend anything new. But I would say (They Long To Be) Close To You by Carpenters.

Bojan: Right now, I would definitely recommend a song that I'm listening to a lot at the moment. My song is older too, I'll go with Il mio canto libero by Lucio Battisti. The whole album is very good, we listened to it a lot while Everybody's Waiting was being made.

—

After our chat, it's not long before the band starts their show. They enchant the whole audience with their incredible energy. Like Bojan said, the fans in the first rows are very confident with the lyrics. As soon as Šta bih ja starts, everyone sings along. "What would I do in this black night without you?" The song begins and ends with this line. A song about longing and missing.

The setlist takes us through every emotion and ends with a call to the current generation:

"We've gathered the courage to rebel and make a change," says Novi Val, the last song of the evening. Bojan invites everyone to become part of the "new wave". He says he wishes Joker Out concerts to be and remain a safe space for everyone.

Everyone, including the band, stands arm in arm and slowly sways to the music. A feeling of community accompanies us as we leave the hall of the Kantine and make our way home. Joker Out show that you don't have to stick to one style of music as a group and how diverse the result can be if you don't allow yourself to be restricted creatively. All five of them seem to have an incredible amount of fun with their work and I can only hope that it stays that way for a very long time.

Jure Mačka - Chapter 4

Nace needs to get his hair cut, but he won't dare to do something drastic unless he's encouraged.

Cue Jure, who conveniently also needs to get his hair cut, and who promises to style Nace's hair for him if he goes through with it.

A massive thank you to @electron-road-suspect for the beta reading and suggestions. Also special thank you and shout out to @nyx-aira for inspiring a subplot with your comments 🧡

Me and the Devil, Walking Side by Side

Summary: Agatha wasn’t always like this. One day, in Westview, you realize that the woman you’re walking beside just may be the devil.

Inspiration: The song “Me and the Devil”

A/N: Dedicated to @nyx-aira because Agatha 💜

You always had this feeling, in the back of your mind, that something like this could happen.

You and Agatha had been friends before she was exiled by the coven. You, unwilling to let them kill her, stood up against them. Agatha ended up saving your life as well as her own and the two of you fled together, creating a life of your own.

Agatha had been straightforward with her intent to use the Darkhold. While you were opposed to it, you still loved her, and as long as it didn’t overwhelm her completely, you were fine with it. Agatha agreed to that but still, there was something itching in the back of your head, telling you — maybe even warning you — to be careful.

For centuries, things were fine. Wonderful, even. Agatha was the love of your life. You wouldn’t want things to be any different.

Then, one day, you came across Westview. As the more reserved one in the relationship, you were inclined to leave it be and carry on. But Agatha was fascinated, captivated even. She was so enthusiastic, how were you supposed to say no? Especially when Agatha pointed out that there may be people in need of saving.

So you joined her in this odd, magical, sitcom world. While you enjoyed the silliness of it, you failed to realize how obsessive Agatha had become until it was too late. You failed to realize that she wanted more. More power. More control. It became like a drug. Agatha had first said that she wanted to stop Wanda, which you could get behind, but what she failed to mention was that she wanted to steal Wanda’s power. Agatha started hiding things from you, too. Like the fact that she used the Darkhold more.

While you picked up on the signs that things were shifting, they were so small that you didn’t think much of it. Plus, you had no reason to suspect that Agatha was keeping you oblivious . . .

Until, one day, you saw her holding Wanda’s sons, Billy and Tommy, stop this.

“Agatha?” You asked, confused as you stepped out of your house and walked over to her, in the middle of the street. You could practically feel the fear radiating from Billy and Tommy.

Agatha’s head snapped to meet your gaze and you held back a gasp at the look in her eyes. “Y/N! What are you doing out here? Go back inside,” she said quickly.

You blinked, confused and shaking your head. “What? No, I’m not going to do that. What are you doing to these boys?” You asked, a little frightened. You couldn’t understand this.

Then, it began to dawn on you, you couldn’t understand her. That made you tremble.

“I’m teaching their mother a lesson!” Agatha hissed. “Now, come on, be good and go back inside, darling.”

Your heart was racing as you glanced at Wanda, then at the boys, and finally back at your wife. “No,” you said, forcing yourself to be loud.

Agatha was completely taken aback. “Stop being silly! Go back inside,” she insisted.

“Or else what? You’ll make me?” You asked in disbelief.

Unfortunately — that only gave her an idea. “Yes,” Agatha said, her eyes ablaze with something you had never ever seen. You couldn’t even process what she said before her magic washed over you and you found yourself marching right back into your house, the door locking behind you.

Immediately, you turned around, rushing to the door but unable to open it. You tried the windows next and saw Wanda advancing on Agatha, whose hold on the boys weakened after she used her magic on you.

She used her magic on you . . . A deep set of betrayal set in, which was nauseating. How could she do that?

You were shaking, almost crying, as you watched Wanda and Agatha fight. You were scared. Not only of what would happen to Agatha, but of Agatha herself now.

It all started to fall into place, though. Her weird behavior . . . The possessiveness . . . The obsession.

Agatha had changed, morphed into some other woman you hardly knew. It was like she was corrupted . . . Like the Devil or something.

And you had been walking beside her, with not a clue, the entire damn time.
