Concert for Sunset: Johana Klára Kratochvílová

DISUNITED SYNERGY

The composition is based on the intuitive discovery of sound and its transformations through the instrument and live processing. This creates an open sound space in which fine textures, raw details and dense sound layers alternate. The sound oscillates between intimacy and intensity, between control and chance, and creates a constantly changing soundscape.

Cimbalist Johana Klára Kratochvílová made her debut on the alternative scene in the duo Thyme a few years ago, where she and her brother Martin Dominik explored the possibilities of this instrument in connection with electronics. Her solo, as yet unreleased work, like Thyme, presents the electronically processed dulcimer in positions that folk music ensembles and symphony orchestras don't really want: as a rare source of ephemeral sounds that opens up unexpected dream worlds.

Concerts for Sunset is a series of ambient concerts at sunset. The moment when the day breaks in the early evening and the golden rays of the sun bathe the city, it will be transferred to a gradual slowing down of time and the listeners will be lulled by the sounds of ambient music and the river.
