Established in [[Established::2004]] as a public association by the [[Ministry of Culture]] and the former Ministry of Information Society, [[SIGIC, Slovene Music Information Centre|SIGIC, the Slovene Music Information Centre]], has become a central information hub for the promotion of Slovene music, musicians and music heritage in Slovenia and internationally.

The purpose of the project is the consolidation of information from the field of musical authorship, performance and interpretation and other musical activities in Slovenia - from the past as well as present, making a comprehensive information easily accessible to wide public.

First Five Years

Since its first presentation of Slovene music scene at the MIDEM (Marché International du Disque et de l'Edition Musicale) in Cannes in 2008, SIGIC has participated at several platforms round Europe (Bremen, Vienna). In 2013 the Waves Vienna, a club- and showcase festival co-organised by MICA (Music Information Center Austria) with the motto ''East meets West'', invites Slovenia and Belgium as guest countries in focus. The programme for the event was designed by SIGIC in close cooperation with the [[Slovenian Music Week]] (STG).
  
The Slovenian Music Information Centre (SIGIC) was formally established on January 27, 2004, when the non-profit organisation’s foundation statute was ratified. The founders of SIGIC set for themselves many tasks and objectives, including the provision of information for the benefit of both the national and international public covering: Slovenia’s musical past and present across all genres and styles, Slovenian musicians of all genres and styles as well as their works, Slovenian music institutions and non-governmental organisations who operate in the field of music either professionally or non-professionally, the accessibility of recordings by Slovenian artists, Slovenian books and printed music, the richness of Slovenian archival and museum collections, Slovenian folk music, the achievements of Slovenian musicologists and the programmes of artists active in Slovenian musical life, while simultaneously making possible the exchange of information with related music information centres around the world via web links. In addition, the centre was established to purposefully care for the promotion of Slovenian musical creativity and artistry both nationally and internationally, as well as enable easy access to all music-informational content.
+
In the period 2012–2014 SIGIC participated in the project ''MINSTREL'' funded by the EU Culture programme. The project that supported the network exchange and dissemination of European music resources was led by the Institute for Research on Music and Acoustics in Athens, Greece, and brought in cooperation music information centres of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Latvia, Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia and Poland.
 +
 
 +
==Publishing==
 +
SIGIC has published some compilations of Slovene music genres (''Ethno'', ''Jazz'', ''Experiment''), also a booklet ''Listen to Slovenia: Pocket Music Guide'' with short overviews of music scenes in Slovenia and useful information about infrastructure and agents, first edition from 2013 being updated in 2020.
  
Since the centre literally began from nothing, it is important to stress that the organisation has made great progress during the intervening five years, fulfilling the ambitious task to which it had set itself. The centre officially opened its doors already at the end of 2004, completely equipped with the necessary infrastructure (both technical and informational), allowing uninterrupted work from the start. During this time SIGIC took part in organising a number of well received lectures (such as the cycle of lectures given by musicologist Nico Schüler, lectures on the origin of the blues presented in collaboration with the Alan Lomax Archive, and others) and concerts. The centre also participated in various international conferences and trade fairs where it presided over presentations of Slovenian music and artistry, the most important of which was the Slovenian presence at the largest music fair in Europe, MIDEM, in 2008 in Cannes, France, where the SIGIC organised a widely acclaimed 'Slovene Day'. Known for the high quality of its work, SIGIC was accepted as a full member of the International Association of Music Information Centres (IAMIC) in June 2006, and has actively collaborated with the association since then. SIGIC’s importance was also confirmed at home: in 2008 it was recognised as a society in the public interest.
 
  
It is also necessary to mention the centre’s daily activities, the bulk of which are visible at their web site. In addition to announcing concerts and other music-related events, the site daily presents at least one news item related to the Slovenian music scene, which is also translated into English. In addition to live events, the 'Featured Events' calendar also provides information on public tenders, calls for applications, competitions and other information for the general public. Also on the web site is up-to-date contact information for most of the more important music-related institutions in Slovenia. Of course, one mustn’t forget the central objective of the portal: there are now more than 12,000 entries in the musicians and musical groups database (most are also in English) and entries for more than 1,300 musical works. The database continues to expand and is available at satellite locations at partnering institutions via the programme MusicaSi. SIGIC currently employs three full-time professional assistants, but in order to meet the abundant challenges that lie ahead, the centre plans to expand its team and its working engagement.
