about

Music probably existed before the human species knew how to use words, and even before it became the bearer of stories and myths, it served ritual purposes.
Rocks were used as one of the oldest sound objects or instruments.
Long before the human mind invented the term Litophon.
For me, playing rocks is always a return to the essence of what music is.
Every time it is a kind of ritual for me, which frees me from all the concepts that have been packed into this phenomenon for thousands of years.
The rocks I play on come from a site where a prehistoric settlement existed and in recent centuries it was quarried for the marl stone from which most of the old outbuildings in the area are built.

Hudba pravděpodobně existovala dříve než lidský druh uměl používat slova, a už předtím, než se stala nositelem příběhů a mýtů, sloužila k rituálním účelům.
Kameny byly používány jako jeden z nejstarších
zvukovým objektů nebo nástrojů. Dávno předtím, než lidská mysl vymyslela pojem Litophon.
Hraní na kameny je pro mě vždy návratem k esenci toho, čím hudba je. Pokaždé je to pro mě jakýsi rituál, který mě osvobozuje od všech konceptů, které se za tisíce let na tento fenomén nabalily. Kameny, na které hraji, pocházejí z místa, kde existovalo pravěké sídlo a v nedávných stoletích se na něm nacházel lom na opukový kámen, ze kterého je postavena většina starých hospodářských budov v okolí.
