Venues where Žiga has performed are as varied as the music he has been playing:
international festivals, clubs, theatres, galleries, streets, parks, shelters, living rooms;
free improvisation, chanson, post rock, jazz, etc. He often intertwines his playing with
other forms of art, such as theatre, poetry, visual art, contemporary dance, and film.
He has published a book of poetry, and participated in making of more than a hundred
albums, that have been released in Slovenia and abroad (Croatia, Austria, Germany,

awarded, recently Chris Eckman's Where The Spirit Rests (Deutsche
Shallplattenkritikpreis), and Tamara Obrovac Quartet's Nuvola (Porin).
