ConTRIOlogy + Tomáš Vtípil

ConTRIOlogy, together with Tomáš Vtípil, combines folk lyrics and modernity. At Leitnerka, they will present their latest album Minulo – which is a fusion of traditional inspiration and modern form. The group is inspired by folk songs collected by Leoš Janáček in the cycle Moravian Folk Poetry in Songs. The trio combines folk tunes with their own compositional approach and improvisation. This creates a fluid musical range full of timbres and sound surfaces with a distinct emotional coloration. Individual compositions preserve the simplicity and naturalness of folk songs, which are permeated by a strong element of improvisation and sonority. The entire range is sensitively permeated by the electronics of Tomáš Vtípil, who was involved in the work both as an arranger and as an instrument.
