petr vrba

his unrelenting explorations of non-idiomatic improvisation using trumpet, clarinets, synths, diy electronics, vibrating speakers etc., made him one of the most active experimental musicians in prague these days.
recently he works in many international duos like with peter orins (kesherul neg pineg), mathieu chamagne (4&),
andria nicodemou, cinder (fire like fire), jérôme noetinger, erikm, joke lanz, birgit ulher a.o.

he is also founder (with george cremaschi) of prague improvisation orchestra and bands like poisonous frequencies (with didi Kern and tomislav federsel), junk & the beast (with veronika mayer), the mond (with ken ganfield and pasi mäkelä), noiz (with thomas lehn and tiziana bertoncini), iq+1 and others. he regularly works with dancers (13 aphorisms - based on milan grygars acoustic drawings, duo kape, moving orchestra a.o.) and filmmakers (live music for experimental or silent movies, creating music for animated movies etc).

kubin's music is saturated with enthusiasm for disharmonic pop, industrial noise, and 20th century avant-garde music. since 1998, he has released a diverse array of albums with various conceptual approaches and playes over 100 electronic music festivals such as sonar, transmediale, unsound, performa, wien modern, présences electroniques and ars electronica. in 2010 he appeared on the cover of the british music magazine wire.

he likes to move between high and low culture, clubs and concert halls, as his main concern is the shifting of contexts and expectations. his commission works comprise compositions for a.o. ndr das neue werk, mearzmusik,
présence electroniques and internationales musikfest hamburg. he also created and hosted experimental radio shows like „demo dandies" (with felix raeithel), the interdisciplinary „call center for destruction" and the radio series „me & my rhythm box", a live programme produced for savvy funk / documenta 14 in 2017.

felix kubin’s der tanz aller is an energetic, rhythmically charged soundtrack created for the performance of the same title by the experimental arts collective ligna. the group specialized in site-specific, participatory works. der tanz aller is based on rudolf von laban’s radical 1920s concept of ‘bewegungschöre’ (movement choirs), collective dances in public space that aimed to reimagine social order through shared movement. combining minimal electronics, acoustic percussion, and brass, kubin’s compositions reflect both the experimental spirit of Laban and the political charge of mass choreography, inviting listeners to become dancers themselves.
