With pretty new album called : „On the journey from unreal“ which was finished in the summer 2008 you can find more colourfull style of music. The changes are situated from acoustic playing to close cooperation with guitarist and drummer. Style of harmonica and didgeridoo playing even throat singing are deep in the psychedelic stream. But as well as you can feel more positive reggae vibration. Pulse of energy is much more bright and intensive now. Process of growing expiriences is head over just playing to one instrument. You can call it: „ethno/psychedelic drone beat“.

Originally from Prague, the Hradec Králové rhythm-tamer in the realm of ethnic music. He started late in the 2006 with his demo CD, live recorded in the tearoom “U Poutníka”. He cultivated his own style on solo album „On the journey from unreal“ (2008). His musical journey included 30 solo concerts in Czech Republic and in abroad also. He has been busking in many of european countries. From Balcan in the east europe thru heart of continent to west. In Great Britain and down on border with Africa in south of Spain. He had several guest performences with many of bands and musicians by many styles from reggae to metal.

 

He plays in a modern European style the didgeridoo – the instrument of the indigenous people of Australia, during his concerts he also presents his own view of throat and overtone singing, as well as medicine-man and meditative vocal techniques of native peoples of Asia.  His vocal expression ranges from overtone singing inspired by the Sygyt technique to throat singing of the Kargyru technique lightly seasoned with brutally Growling.

 

During his solo performances there are not only didgeridoos of various tunings, throat and overtone singing to be heard, but also the harmonica, agogo, triangle, cymbals and other intriguing objects fostering the artist-audience vibrations. He is far from orthodox-minded; he enjoys using any objects that just happen to be close at hand; all in an unusual mixture within the "Ethno-acoustic music" category.

THE PATH TO DIDGERIDOO AND THROAT SINGING :

 

In the good old time of 1999 a friend of mine came by carrying a bamboo pipe and said “This is didgeridoo”, and that it comes from the aboriginal native people of Australia and showed me how to produce the basic drone tone. Shortly afterwards I saw a concert of Ian Wood from Australia playing with the best Czech didgeridoo-player Ondřej Smeykal and I knew right away that was something I wanted to learn. After years and years of improvising with musicians of various genres ranging from reggae, metal to meditative playing I attended a couple of Ondřej Smeykal’s workshops and at last began to play. In 2006 I spent six months in Scotland, making my living busking and I had found that my play is enjoyable for people even in the broader scope. In the first days following my return I was invited to play my first solo concert, where my first live recordings come from.

 

Overtone singing I first came across in 2004 during the European Rainbow gathering in Bulgaria, where a workshop under the name "natural voices" was organized by the original American called Happy; a sparkle had been kindled and I knew that that was IT, that this I had to learn. In 2006 I attended a workshop with HOSOO and TRANSMONGOLIA from Mongolia, during which I familiarized myself with the eastern Sygyt and Khargyru throat singing techniques.
