Dopamine. A word often bandied about by today's younger generation. I was intrigued when I heard in the gym, "Yeah, it's our grandmothers, they had dopamine all over the place." Who knows if our ancestors actually had levels of this substance "elsewhere" or if this is just an exaggerated fascination with our brains and psyches. But what is it? Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that affects our motivation, sense of reward and happiness.
In the piece I tried to capture this complex cocktail of emotions and its effect on modern man. The music gradually evolves - from subtle motifs symbolizing the primal impulses of joy and desire, to dramatic twists and turns that reflect the alternation of dependence and restlessness that dopamine sometimes brings.
The piece includes a quotation from my earlier work Serotonin, which deals with feelings of depression. The music of Dopamine enters into this quote as a light reaching into the darkness, bringing feelings of excitement, motivation and perhaps even joy. But it begs the question: can dopamine really trump deeper feelings of doom? Or is it just a temporary band-aid we apply to the hidden problems of the modern workaholic, seeking ever new instant gratification? Is it a legal drug?

Visions V for Viola and Piano by R. Roland Jelinek – Post-Humanism, and the Square Root of Two. Is Mathematically Inspired Chamber Music,

"Visions V for Viola and Piano," composed by the acclaimed R. Roland Jelinek, is an innovative and mathematically inspired chamber work, available for purchase from Virtuosi Strings Publications. This contemporary composition is intricately based on the Square Root of Two to 200 decimal places, exploring the hidden numerical patterns within mathematics and their influence on musical structure.

A profound reflection of the Post-Humanist Era, Visions V melds the precision of mathematical music with the expressive possibilities of contemporary classical music. The work discovers small numerical patterns derived from the Square Root of Two to create a complex dialogue between viola and piano. This unique chamber piece invites performers to engage with its abstract mathematical origins while experiencing the emotional depth and innovation of Jelinek's modern compositional style.

Ideal for advanced musicians, chamber ensembles, and those passionate about both mathematical music theory and contemporary viola repertoire, Visions V offers a thought-provoking addition to any musician’s collection. Its exploration of the Post-Humanist narrative, combined with its foundation in mathematical sequences, makes it a compelling piece for those interested in the fusion of music and mathematics.

Available for purchase now at Virtuosi Strings Publications, Visions V for Viola and Piano is an essential addition to any chamber music library and is perfect for performances, study, and reflection in the context of modern classical music and Post-Humanist philosophy.

I was born in January 1997 in an Ostrava maternity hospital, but my home is the lachia's town Brušperk, 8 km away from Janáček's birthplace. There I graduated the Elementary Art School and at the same time studied composition in Ostrava with Mrs. Olga Šmídová. In 2017, I graduated the "Janáček Conservatory and Grammar School in Ostrava", where my supervisor was Mr. Milan Báchorek for the first year, then until the graduation MgA. Michal Janošík. At that time were composed a number of my chamber, solo and vocal compositions, with which I regularly participated in all conservatory events during my studies. Now I am studying composition for 3 years at the Prague Academy of Music in the class of doc. MgA. Slavomír Hořínka, Ph.D. In my current work, I prefer to work with limited compositional material - especially tonal, and I focus on the instrumentation of selected instruments.
