"Birds" are sound objects constructed from wooden and metal parts. Several kinetic acoustic musical instruments were assembled from found parts of old furniture on site. The found object - a huge tower and clock-spinning face-dial with a rotating light tube on the backside ("Material Score"), provided the light signals to the improvising musicians. The performance was staged with: Radka Hanzlíková, Eva Holečková, Martin Janíček, Oldřich Janota and Jaroslav Kořán.

"Since 1986, I have been living in the countryside with my wife and cat, for 20 years in Bavaria, later in South Bohemia. I am growing as many vegetables as possible in my garden (supporting myself with visual art and music) and I swim in local peat lakes, occasionally develop a new sound object, or a new instrument. My recent musical projects include Noční pták, and its acoustic branch LAMA or Vody-Fugy-Vzruchy.“
