guitarist
He began his musical education at the Music school in Piran and continued his studies with prof. Andrej Grafenauer at the Academy of music in Ljubljana and at Akademie für Tonkunst Darmstadt with Tilman Hoppstock.
As a performer his main interests are exploring and widening the possibilities of his instruments, both classical and electric guitar, two instruments being very similar and different at the same time. Through free improvisation and constant collaboration with composers of all generations like U. Rojko, V. Žuraj, F. Sahran, V. Globokar, J. C. Vasquez and M. Bonin, he is trying (often combined with the use of electronics) to expand the solo and chamber music guitar repertoire and is regularly presenting it on festivals and concert venues in Slovenia and abroad (Klangspuren festival, Biennale for contemporary music Koper, Tage für Neue Musik Darmstadt…) while also archiving it for radio stations throughout Europe.
He collaborates on a regular basis with ensembles such as IEMA, Spectra, ICTUS and Neofonia, and he is a member of “The Third Guy” duo.

We Point Out
The Third Guy
Primož Sukič – guitar
Ruben Orio – percussion
The Third Guy is a duo based in Brussels, Belgium, featuring Primož Sukič on guitar and Ruben Orio on percussion. Although the two musicians have already been playing together since 2014, when they first met at the post master-academy program offered by the ICTUS ensemble and the HoGent Conservatory, their official debut dates back to January 2017, which was a result of an artistic residency at QO-2; a concert venue based in Brussels, focusing on experimental and contemporary music. Since the beginning in 2017 The Third Guy has premiered more than seven new works, composed by composers such as James Saunders, Marko Ciciliani, Caroline Profanter, Matej Bonin, Elina Lukijanova, and Mihael Maierhof. Their performances have taken place in SIRGA Festival (Flix, Catalunia), University of Southampton (UK), Champ d’action in Antwerp, SPOR Festival in Aarhus (Denmark), Ljubljana city museum (Slovenia), Miry concert Hall Ghent, iMAL Brussels …
Their musical and artistic research based on composing works that explore, and blur boundaries between improvisation, programmed computer algorithms, and composition. The ensemble also focuses on collaborating with other musicians (composers, interpreters, improvisers), and artists from other artistic fields, among whom each of them bring in new personalities and aesthetics, that, for every performance, reshape, and sometimes even redefine the identity of the ensemble.
“Like the study book, Young Guitarist – the beginners guide to guitar is intended as an introduction to the instrument; here Sukič offers us an introductory encounter with his way of thinking. The album (Splitting, editor’s note) is a realistic reflection of the guitarist’s creativity and opens many fronts facing contemporary music makers. This excellent and great starter should serve as an open door and a good springboard for many future projects.” (Puntar, Radio Študent, 2016)
