Šalter Ensemble is an international electroacoustic ensemble compound of some innovative figures in the music scene of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Switzerland. They come from various musical backgrounds, from jazz through modern composed music, sound art and improvisation to traditional and popular music. Twelve musicians of different generations share a desire to explore musical boundaries and develop their own sound expressions. Šalter Ensemble creates on the edge of free improvisation and composition where collective processes form the core of the music.

Four compositions have been developed through various concepts and visions by four members with the ensemble: Bertrand Denzler: Ubiquité, Robert Roža: The Šalter, Roko Crnić: Common ground altogether, Tomaž Grom: What We Listen To, Connects Us, What We Hear, Separates Us
