Robin Schenk
Concert and launch of Robin Schenk's debut album Paladins & Tyrants. Music on the border between alternative rock and baroque pop, where the sound of a distorted guitar blends with symphonic surfaces, synthesizers and unusual sound colors. Robin Schenk will perform with a band consisting of Petr Ptáček (drums), Pavel Palát (electric guitar), Josef Stráník (bass guitar), Štěpán Filípek (cello).
Robin Schenk, composer, musician and actor, award-winning author of scenic theater music, embarks on the hero's journey to present his debut author's album Paladins & Tyrants. In cooperation with Jeroným Šubrt from Lake Malawi, with the Norwegian producer JOWST and Lukáš Chromek, and with the contribution of dozens of other musicians from all over the world, an unusually bold work was created, experimenting with combinations of musical elements and genres. From catchy pop melodies to symphonic pieces with operatic vocals to elements of electronic music, hard rock or metal core.
The title of the album Paladins & Tyrants derives from the world of fantasy and mythology and is inspired by Joseph Campbell's work A Thousand Faces of Heroes. One of the main concepts of this author is the "hero's path", and it is this that has become a major source of inspiration. "A hero who must cross the threshold of everyday comfort and go into the wilderness to fulfill his destiny. This is the theme that permeates the entire album. But the Paladins & Tyrants record does not remain frozen only in the world of dreams. It is also a broad reflection of the times we live in," Robin describes. It begins with INFINITY as a journey into infinity, expressing the limitless potential of the human mind. They end with the song Kids from the Eastern Bloc, a return to earth, agonizing over the wasted potential of many people who lived their youth in communist Czechoslovakia.
