Ivan Palacky & Lukas Simonis:
Smet Het Bew Erf Left

The two long pieces on this CD consist of improvisations on knitting machine Dopleta 180 and guitar. On one hand the 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…
In October 2018, Ivan Palacký and Lukas Simonis met again as a duo after about 10 years for doing a little tour in Austria and Czech Republic. This was also the occasion that produced this CD, recorded in the wild village of Libusin, near Prague. Audiences & players were quite happy with the results so expect some more stuff coming up…
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.

(Lukas; it has also to do with the english of non-native speakers. They might be saying a whole of things but you don’t always understand what they are saying… stuff like Smet Het Bew Er Left?  and you just nod…)
