Prague Quiet Music Collective

The Prague Quiet Music Collective was founded with the intention of presenting contemporary compositions with a tendency to sound economy, working with silence and with subtle details of sound, leading the listener to perceptiveness and full experience of the present moment. We believe that, especially in a hectic time of attention economy and overload of stimuli, silence has great value, allowing us to glimpse the beauty of slowness, transience, fragility and detail. The five-member ensemble, under the artistic direction of Ian Mikysky, is committed not only to novel concert dramaturgy, but also to creating a unique and appropriate environment for the listening experience. One of the ensemble's goals is to commission new works. These are then performed repeatedly to give them a chance to develop and take root.

BCAA System

A vision of the future instead of profaned retro aesthetics: that is what the BCAA system of Prague stands for. Originally a web platform for DJ streams, which is now a multidisciplinary art collective uniting artists working with both visual art and club music. Ecological activism is significantly reflected in their ethos, rather than a typical industry mindset. Their project No​ One Is An Island was nominated for the Vinyla prize for the unification of renowned Czech producers on a digital compilation, short film, or exhibition of gallery art, in Brno. “The compilation is connected with stories of cooperation, partnerships, and unification in searching for ways out of seemingly desperate situations“ says BCAA collective, which follows the Conceptronica Movement.

 

Heartnoize Promotion

Heartnoize Promotion have been expanding the horizons of Prague’s concert scene since 2012. From nihilistic black metal to chaotic free jazz, sweet 80’s pop to industrial techno – Heartnoize have never feared genre eclecticism and from the proverbial motto “more fog!”, heaviness and experiments may arise, but concrete connections are not to be cast around. “It is more important to do something of quality and to push oneselves forward.” say the Heartnoize team in unison. They have collaborated with Famufest and Žižkovská noc festivals. Most notably involved with concerts by Sunn O))), The Bug, Black Midi and Lightning Bolt in the past years. As part of Jednota they participated in last year’s edition of Alternativa festival, and in the years previous they showcased modern metal with Celeste and Amenra. This year Heartnoize will co-produce the second festival evening, on Saturday the 7th of November.
