Křest vinylu Moderna

An ambient and electroacoustic album by contemporary Czech composers

This compilation, released by Czech Radio Vltava, is a unique project mapping the contemporary Czech scene of neoclassical, modern classical, electroacoustic, ambient, and film music. The new compositions were created and recorded in the legendary Studio 1 of Czech Radio, a space with exceptional acoustics and a strong historical footprint, which is naturally imprinted on the resulting sound; the recording was conducted under the direction of Petr Strejc.

The music collection presents composers who build on the long tradition of classical music, but at the same time consciously develop it through contemporary techniques, work with electronics, new technologies, and intergenre crossovers. The compilation captures the diversity of individual approaches and the common search for new forms of expression, confirming that Czech contemporary music is a lively, open, and confident environment capable of appealing to audiences across generations and contexts.

The compilation features the following composers:

Beata Hlavenková
Chalupski
Mikoláš Růžička
Mikuláš Tichý
Jiří Trtík
Karel Havlíček
Martina Vídenová
Floex Ensemble
