The Undiscovered Self

Site specific composition for Prague Lapidarium,
Robe lights were recorded while misbehaving because of faulty DMX cable. The sound of the lights is than processed and played back together with the light show on.

Life and Death of Robe Spikie

first iteration of audio-visual project that aims to translate light to sound and sound to light in ways yet unheard (of), utilising modular synthesisers, modualted by light sensors and classical acoustic instruments.

Zvuková site-specific inštalácia na festival Miš Maš 2017.
Pred začiatkom festivalu som na mieste - starej farme - nahrával zvuky prostredia. Búrka, vtáky, občasné auto. Najzaujímavejší zvuk som objavil vo "vínnom sklípku". Skrz 2 metre zeme z neho vedie vetracia šachta na povrch, ktorá produkuje kuriózne nízkofrekvenčné vlny. Zvuk zeme, pomyslel som si.
Zvuky prostredia spojené so scénickým výhľadom zo Silent stage mimo festival vytvárajú kapsulu, ktorá človeka ukotví v priestore, ale prenesie v čase.

Site specific sonic installation at Miš Maš festvial 2017.
I recorded various sounds at the festival site - an old farm settling - before the festival actually started. Birds, storm, rain, an occasional car. The one I found most interesting, however is the sound of the air ventilation pipe in the wine cellar. The pipe passes through 2 meters of soil before it reaches the upper ground and delivers amazing bassy frequencies. Sound of the earth, I figured.
Combined with the scenic view from the Silent stage that points points away from the festival, the installation creates a capsule that roots persons in the place they are, but transports them to a different time.

Silent Stage @Miš Maš festival

"Záznam besed, které se nikdy nekonaly, rozhlasová pásma z myšlenek velikánů lidského rodu 1964 - 1967."

Translation of some of the world's gratest minds conversation into musical composition. Text to speech to midi to harmony to melody to drums to arpeggio to final output. Overall lack of sense is symptomatic for the final collage just as much as for the in the original conversations twisted by socialist ideology of Czechoslovakia in 1960s.

Midi For Brass Orchestra

Short recording of self-re-generating feedback installation created at Royal Conservatoire, The Hague, Holland.

“Simple causal reasoning about a feedback system is difficult because the first system influences the second and second system influences the first, leading to a circular argument. This makes reasoning based upon cause and effect tricky, and it is necessary to analyze the system as a whole.”

(Karl Johan Åström and Richard M. Murray, Feedback Systems: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers)

"Taking the human desire as the inspirational aesthetics of aesthetics, the deLight project is a fragment of the element that surrounds the modular world and leads to a diverse perception of shapes. The result is material architecture, sculpture, space and light play using specific material."
