I like to see how music can be perceived and expressed in other ways than through sound; in my compositions, I also often explore various corners of the human mind. The process of creation allows me to somewhat materialise certain things which are otherwise blended with my mind, and that allows me to gain a kind of involved distance. As important as this source of inspiration is to me, however, I do not think it is essential to the “understanding” of my music. Rather, once everything is done and rehearsed, I hope the piece will speak to some people (mirror neurons perhaps working in a mysterious way), and they might find something curious and secret in the process; a little pebble to keep.

Alongside composition (APBU in Linz, CNSMD in Lyon), I have been interested in early music and harpsichord, for which I received my degree (Masaryk University, Brno). After spending varying lengths of time at various institutions (VOŠ Hellichova – Book Graphics; University of Helsinki – Musicology), I decided to focus on publishing contemporary music, among other things through studies in Music Publishing. I currently work for the Dutch publishing house Donemus, while in my own notation adventures I am interested in how the way musical materials are presented can influence the resulting performance, particularly on a subconscious level.

I have had the opportunity to collaborate with ensembles such as Ensemble Delirium, Prague Quiet Music Collective, and Janáček Philharmonic, and to contribute my compositions to festivals including Brucknerfest and Ostrava Days.
