Luboš Fidler: Roletofon, electric quitar, percussion, voice
Zdeněk Konopásek: percussion, trumpet
FIDLER and KONOPÁSEK started playing together as a duo under the title NOČNÍ PTÁK [Nightbird] in 2011. Their music is sometimes wild and raw, sometimes gentle and fragile, partly composed and partly improvised. Songs with reduced, sometimes absurd, lyrics mingle with free playing.
NOČNÍ PTÁK is a new musical project of LUBOŠ FIDLER and ZDENĚK KONOPÁSEK. LUBOŠ FIDLER is one of the most uncompromising musician of the Czech alternative scene. As a bass/acoustic guitar player, he was founding member of alternative rock groups of 1970s and 80s, such as STEHLÍK or ŠVEHLÍK, and he played with MCH BAND, KILHETS and others.
In the early 1980s he was involved in the minimalist-experimental trio JANOTA-FIDLER-RICHTER (together with Oldřich Janota and Pavel Richter). Later, he participated in interactive sound installations for the PETR NIKL's project ORBIS PICTUS. He also composed and performed music for theatre (FAIDRA / dir: VIKTORIE ČERMÁKOVÁ). Fidler currently continues collaborating with Oldřich Janota as well as with other alternative musicians.
ZDENĚK KONOPÁSEK was drummer of the early and late 1980s band DVOULETÁ FÁMA. Later on he played, for example, in DR. KONOPNÝ QUARTET (together with Joe Karafiát, Jan Štolba and Radomil Uhlíř) and also collaborated with OLDŘICH JANOTA.
Currently he is involved in theatrical-musical performances of DIVADLO VIZITA (Jaroslav Dušek) and also plays drums in the musical ensemble ŠIROKO-DALEKO [Near and far].
