The Sound of Czech Experimental

“The Sound of Czech Experimental” pulls together a wide-ranging look at the fringes of sound emerging from the Czech Republic and its orbit. This playlist moves through ambient, noise, post-industrial, electroacoustic, and field recording-driven work, layered with occasional beats and glitchy textures. It brings together projects like Martyyna’s subtle synth excursions, the dense drones of V0NT, and the modular oddities of Gurun Gurun & Cuushe. Artists like Exhausted Modern and Vision of 1994 nod to club-rooted influences while others, like Tomáš Niesner and Lucie Vítková, explore more organic or tactile approaches.

The curation bridges different aesthetic extremes — from the stark noise of Napalmed and Skrol, to the meditative minimalism of Jirí Mazánek and Obelisk of Light. Tracks like “There is no revolution, there is just you, microwaving ramen” signal an undercurrent of ironic post-internet sensibilities, while others remain deeply rooted in analog processes and improvisation. It’s a genre-fluid collection that documents a creative microclimate where sonic experimentation thrives in unexpected forms.
