As the name suggests, Birds of Unknown is a young Slovenian band refusing to be confined to a single genre, creating original compositions (and occasional adaptations) that show various influences, from jazz and avant-garde through soul and r'n'b to world music and classical music. The trio was formed when Tibor joined Patricija and Tilen's duo in the early 2020. As a trio, Birds of Unknown debuted on the national radio (Prva vrsta show) and had their track To Find a Place included in the Stereo Isolation compilation of the Jazz 'ma mlade Festival. This was followed by appearances at prominent festivals, including Jazzinty, Jazz 'ma mlade, Imago Sloveniae, LENT or Artkamp. Selected for the 2021 Radio Študent Klubski maraton, the trio played various Slovenian venues within the context of this concert-marathon. The trio’s debut album is scheduled for release in 2022.
