LUKAS SIMONIS/IVAN PALACKY
In October 2018, Ivan Palacký and Lukas Simonis met again as a duo after about 10 years. During their Austrian tour in 2008, they made an adventurous expedition in the wild surroundings of the mountain village of Harrachsthal. The small tour they did in CZ resulted in the recording ‘Smet het bew erf left’. As for the title of the CD; Both performers have a rich experience with intuitive speeches during the performance and therefore usage of some random words into the abstract sonic structure is not excluded in the happening, although it will be hard to decipher them from this record.

On one hand their music is rough, edgy and uses a broad field of sounds that do not necessarily go into music-related atmospheres but border on concrete and field noises. On the other hand, the music can be listened to in an ambient context, as for some mysterious reason the musical landscape that unfolds seems to be located somewhere in between quite abstract free improv music and some sort of experimental ambient…
