The interview with the blackbird and swifts interrupted by sound check of some band nearby backyard of the “house by knights” in Školská street. By the way the house, builded in 1888 in new renaissance style, is very beautiful. There was a saloon and tavern downstairs. Today it's used for “Leica” gallery. And there is Communication Space Školská 28 for various nonprofit cultural and artistic activities in former workshop for galvanizing metal. The backyard is one of sonic oases in centre of Prague. You can hear just singing of birds and some fragments of sounds from windows of the house and gallery. Unfortunately sometimes also parasite sounds from new sport club which is situated nearby.
