Course contents:

What means „the prepared“ piano or guitar in modern music is quite familiar. However, the process of decomposition, alteration, modification and construction of weird instruments and tools is a phenomenon observable in the entire history of art and technology. Lecture with video excerpts is divided into two parts. The first follows a specific string musical instrument: the guitar. The second focuses on examples of re-design of tools in various fields of history of the intermedia art in 20th century, starting with the popular futurists pieces and ending with the process of „bending“ of consumer electronics.

Currently he is a member of the duo „Tilko“ (with Jennifer Helia DeFelice) an dthe audio-visual improvisational duo „Koberce, záclony“ (with Filip Cenk). He keeps a sound log of his travels - recording excerpts of stories, strange sounds and diverse „acoustic mistakes“.
