Zvuky Prahy / Sounds of Prague

Fragment from the archival recording of the sound performance of Luboš Fidler. Štepán Pečírka and Oldřich Janota, at the group exhibition Hnízda her in Rudolfinum Gallery in 2000. Fidler exhibited sound sculpture - instrument made of suspended metal propellers, including different percussive sticks, the whole generating a devilish noise. The concert was provided by the sound kinetic sculpture called Excited Aluminium, consisting of several wooden ladders, and suspended aluminium rods, producing lovely spectrum of overtones. Janota played the ladder and quitar and Pečírka fagot. Recording by Daniel Šperl. Published without permission of artists. Photo: Petr Faster
