Information
PIO, Studio Alta and Agosto Foundation present three days of concerts, sound art, video, electronic music, and sound/movement improvisation in the unique setting of Invalidovna from Prague Improvisation Orchestra and guests Martin Howse, Klamm & Pelikán, duO uO uO, Obelisk of Light ft. Kult Masek, Judita Levitnerová, Johana Matoušková, Jitka Čechová, Radim Klásek and Tina Afiyan Breiová.
Each evening will feature a different concert from PIO, including Petr Vrba’s extended composition ‘Rope’ on 22.7, noise rock using repetition slowly building to a dense wall of sound. Next, PIO will premiere a new work for electronics, percussion and distant voices from George Cremaschi on 23.7, and finally a reprise of PIO’s program by the great US composer Anthony Braxton on 24.7.
Berlin-based sound artist Martin Howse will open every show with his ‘activation’ of the space via a performative sound installation, followed by a site-specific sound and movement improvisation featuring different dancers and members of PIO each evening.
And not least, every day we’ll present a different small group starting with legendary Prague noise kings Klamm & Pelikán on 22.7, fabulous post-jazz from duO uO uO on 23.7, and on 24.7 drone master Obelisk of Light will be joined by Kult Masek and video artist Judita Levitnerová.
