Outsiders: Skupina x mappa

In memory of Vojtěch Havel, we explore the world of this influential Czech composer, improviser, and performer, known for his legendary duo with Irena Havlová. His music spans a wide range, from minimalism and ambient to renaissance and baroque music, as well as film scores, drone experiments, and touches of new age. Vojtěch had a unique ability to bridge different generations of listeners.

Since the mid-80s, he and Irena pushed boundaries between love, life, and music. Even in his final days, Vojtěch collaborated with a diverse array of artists from the Czech and Slovak experimental scene. Their work also resonated far beyond the borders of Czechoslovakia, attracting fans that include artists such as Sufjan Stevens, Stephan Micus, and the Dessner brothers from The National.
