An evening with two of the premiere local experimental musicians in improvisation. In solo performance Tarnovski from Pardubice appears for the first time in the gallery, together with the debut appearance of Zbynek Rohlík and Pavel Bakič as the duo Zvony proti mlze (Bells against the fog).
Zvony proti mlze
Big ensembles are bound to splinter; the Prague-based quintet The Pololáníks, itself born from a larger orchestra, has accordingly spawned Zvony proti mlze. Originally, the duo only focused on studio work, resulting in four pieces for electronics and zither presented on Sagte er, dachte ich EP (self-released & free download), but after experiments with live sampling, they plucked up the courage for their first proper live performance at Školská. They are also currently putting finishing touches to their second CD, albeit at a crawling and excruciating pace.
