The band MYDY is planning a new album launch in Brno

The band MYDY (formerly Mydy Rabycad) is releasing an album called simply “V”. It is available for listening on all streaming platforms. MYDY will release it in the Brno club Fléda.

The album is about the happenings inside the band, which comes back to itself in eleven songs. “V”, or Roman numeral five, emphasizes the importance of the individual members, and it is also the band’s fifth studio album. Although three producers collaborated on it and it was recorded in six different studios, MYDY consider it the most complete. The seven songs were produced by Matěj Belko, who worked on the award-winning albums Řeka by Lenka Dusilová and Jednou tě potkám by Vladimír Mišík, among others. Three songs were produced by the young German producer EMI EMI. The mix was done by Nèro Scartch, the main composer and now drummer of MYDY. The mastering was done by Risto Sokolovski. There are also guests on the album, apart from the already mentioned producers Matěj Belko and EMI EMI, who recorded a number of musical instruments during the creation process, they are Circus Brothers (winds), Roman Vícha (drums), Josef Fečo (double bass) and last but not least Jana Věnečková (violin). The album launch is announced for 23 November 2022 at 20:30 in the Fléda club.

“We wanted this album to have a certain atmosphere. With ‘V’, we agreed that after all the negative events of the last three years, there has been so much that it’s just annoying us, and that we want to bring something that makes people and ourselves laugh and dance. And even though I didn’t feel 100% right at the time, I still tried to find my way and hunted through older lyrics to remind myself of what made me feel good back then. And I found it. As a result, it was an incredibly healing process and it confirmed to me that everything negative has its positive side,” says the singer Žofie. “Compared to previous albums, we talked a lot about the lyrics and thought a lot about how to present them. We didn’t want to underestimate them. We discussed them and some songs had three versions before we found the right one,” adds Nèro.

MYDY have put together a new set, new costumes and a renewed set design is then a commonplace for the band. “The new playlist is incredibly energetic, there’s not a single weak spot in it,” promises the band. Both launches will feature previously unplayed new songs from the current album, as well as proven classics like Just Dance and Rise Up. With the band’s round anniversary this year, audiences can also look forward to long unplayed songs from the early days of the then Mydy Rabycad.

The final concert of this year’s instalment of the Barbara Maria Willi Presents series offered a unique project that on 4 December brought together two ensembles in the Convent of the Brothers of Mercy:  Cappella Pratensis and Ramillete de Tonos. They showed the audience the many different ways in which one can work with the polyphonic repertoire of the 15th and 16th centuries. The programme intertwined sacred and secular music, and purely vocal, vocal-instrumental and purely instrumental pieces.  more

The rediscovery and digitisation of the Brno polyphonic manuscripts BAM 1 and BAM 2 has opened a new chapter in the study and performance of Renaissance music. At the crossroads of historical research, modern technology, and artistic interpretation stands Past Forward, a cross-border project connecting institutions from the Netherlands, Belgium and the Czech Republic. At its artistic core are two musicians whose approaches complement each other: Tim Braithwaite, artistic director of Cappella Pratensis, and Kateřina Maňáková, lutenist, teacher of early plucked instruments at Janáček Academy of Performing Arts and guarantor of the entire initiative. In this conversation, they discuss working with previously overlooked sources, the challenges of historically informed performance, the promises of international collaboration, and their vision for the future of early-music interpretation.  more

The concert by Filharmonie Brno under Dennis Russell Davies on Thursday 6 November in Besední dům offered a fascinating programme combining the work of two contemporary composers from the former Soviet Union. The performers included Armenian baritone Aksel Daveyan, violist Julian Veverica, percussionist Lukáš Krejčí, and the Austrian Hard-Chor Linz choir under choirmaster Alexander Koller.  more

Moravian Autumn, organised by the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra, has long been one of the most important musical events of the autumn season. For the third time it also included the student project New World of Moravian Autumn – living proof that the connection between academia and professional practice can yield stimulating and deeply artistic results. This project, which originated at JAMU as an experiment within the course in practical dramaturgy, has evolved into a fully-fledged and respected part of the festival programme over the past few years.  more
