PIO Dynamo

PIO, Studio Alta and Agosto Foundation present three days of concerts, sound art, video, electronic music, and sound/movement improvisation in the unique setting of Invalidovna from Prague Improvisation Orchestra and guests Martin Howse, Klamm & Pelikan, duO uO uO, Obelisk of Light ft. Kult Masek, Judita Levitnerová, Johana Matoušková, Jitka Čechová, Radim Klásek and Tina Afiyan Breiová.

Each evening will feature a different concert from PIO, including Petr Vrba's extended composition Rope on 22. 7., noise rock using repetition slowly “building to a dense wall of sound”. Next, PIO will premiere a new work for electronics, percussion and distant voices from George Cremaschi on 23. 7., and finally a reprise of PIO's program by the great US composer Anthony Braxton on 24. 7. Berlin-based sound artist Martin Howse will open every show with his 'activation' of the space via a performative sound installation, followed by a site-specific sound and movement improvisation featuring different dancers and members of PIO each evening. And not least, every day we'll present a different small group starting with legendary Prague noise kings Klamm & Pelikán on 22. 7., fabulous post-jazz from duO uO uO on 23.7, and on 24. 7. drone master Obelisk of Light will be joined by Kult Masek and video artist Judita Levitnerová.
