Czech Post-Hudba duo presents new video and album launch in Brno

In mid-February, the Post-Hudba duo released their third long-playing album, My všichni tady a teď (We All Here and Now), on which Dominik Zezula and producer Tomáš Havlen focus on the reality of the lives of today’s thirty-somethings. This can also be heard in the song 90’s kids, for which the band in cooperation with the director Štěpán Svoboda created a new video and invites you to the album launch in Brno’s Kabinet Múz.

“There’s a strong emphasis on dynamics in this song, with quieter verses and a big pop chorus, plus an unexpected breakdown at the end,” both musicians describe. “You could say there’s always something going on. So we tried to find some counterpoint in the video. We didn’t want to play any roles, we just joked with a friend who was filming us.”

The result is a sequence of shots of Havlen taking the kids to daycare, spending time with his wife, and training for a half marathon, while Zezula walks the dog and plays Geoguessr in his office, which looks like a typical 90’s kids room. “We wanted to put together a mosaic of long, slow shots, and then use a large part of the budget for professional post-production,” adds Štěpán Svoboda.

The album launch is announced for 11 and 12 April 2023 at 20:00 in the Brno Cabinet of Muses.

The electronic Post-Hudba duo is a well-established name on the Czech alternative scene today – after timid beginnings between 2011 and 2013, when singer-songwriter Dominik Zezula and producer Tomáš Havlen released their first three EPs, the band followed up after a six-year hiatus with the albums (names translated) Nothing to Look Forward To (2019) and World at the End of Year Zero (2021). The third album, We All Here and Now, was released on 13 February 2023 in a collaboration between Full Moon Forum, a label supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, and Bad Names.

Connection, unity, contemplation - these words can be used to describe the musical evening of Schola Gregoriana Pragensis under the direction of David Eben and organist Tomáš Thon, which took place yesterday as part of the Easter Festival of Sacred Music at the church of St. Thomas. Not only the singing of a Gregorian chant, but also the works of composer Petr Eben (1929-2007) enlivened the church space with sound and colour for an hour.  more

With a concert called Ensemble Inégal: Yesterday at the church of St. John, Zelenka opened the 31st edition of the Easter Festival of Sacred Music, this time with the suffix Terroir. This slightly mysterious word, which is popularly used in connection with wine, comes from the Latin word for land or soil, and carries the sum of all the influences, especially the natural conditions of a particular location and on the plants grown there. This term is thus metonymically transferred to the programme of this year's VFDH, as it consists exclusively of works by Czech authors, thus complementing the ongoing Year of Czech Musicmore

For the fourth subscription concert of the Philharmonic at Home serieswhich took place on 14 March at the Besední dům and was entitled Mozartiana, the Brno Philharmonic, this time under the direction of Czech-Japanese conductor Chuhei Iwasaki, chose four works from the 18th to 20th centuries. These works are dramaturgically linked either directly through their creation in the Classical period or by inspiration from musical practices typical of that period. The first half of the concert featured Martina Venc Matušínská with a solo flute.  more

The second stop on the short Neues Klavier Trio Dresden's Czech-German tour was at the concert hall of the Janáček Academy of Music on 6 March at 16:00. A programme consisting of world premières by two Czech and two German composers was performed in four cities (Prague, Brno, Leipzig and Dresden).  more

The last opera première of the National Theatre Brno this year was Hurvínek Sells the Bride, which was co-produced with the Spejbl and Hurvínek Theatre. The première continued the thematic focus associated with the Year of Czech Music and took place on 24 November in the large hall of the Reduta Theatre.  more
