"This project was an attempt to represent the world as a spiritual vibration. This was the aim of J. B. Santini in his architecture, the purpose of Buddhist lamas in their mandalas, the spiritual "orbis mundi" of the medieval cartographers who considered their work as an instruments for meditation on beauty, the miraculousness and enormity of the world. The circle here has an important role of a symbol of wholeness, totality, perfection and infinity. That is why I have chosen the shape of a drum – a crossed metal sieves illustrating the multiplicity, variability and antagonism of the world. These materials – steel, iron, bronze – symbolize a sonic base of the world."

Martin Janíček, Plasy 1993

Martin participated as well in the concert of Orloj Snivců at St. Benedict Chapel
