Do Pixels Dance the Polka?
Exploring Czech and Slovak Music Scenes Through Music Clips and
Audiovisual Music
Special guests: Lucia Udvardyová and Peter Gonda (Easterndaze)
While Central and Eastern European artists of the 20th century pioneered
many techniques for marrying sound and vision such as Laterna Magika or
the ANS synthesizer, music videos from this region are strangely absent
from the clip canon and rarely screened at international festivals.
Easterndaze, a platform for up-and-coming independent Eastern European
arts and music scenes based in Prague and Budapest, aims to map this
terra incognita. Lucia Udvardyová and Peter Gonda from Eastnerdaze are
now invited to Berlin to present their project featuring recent music
clips and audiovisual music from cities in the Czech Republic (Prague,
Brno, Zlín, Ostrava, Ustí na Labem) and Slovakia (Bratislava, Košice) as
well as from Easterndaze's travels to other Central and East European
countries.
Musical styles encompass hip hop to witchhouse, experimental electronics
to modern interpretations of traditional sounds. The audiovisual
approaches are equally diverse: surreal concept clips, absurd comedy
sketches, found footage, trippy animation and live performances captured
on cellphone. Udvardyová and Gonda complement the selection with their
analysis and anecdotes from the music and arts scenes in which the clips
were produced.
