about

Visitors of Prague restaurants were alarmed by this notice (which was hanged on the wall) in the era of German occupation. We can perceive the sticker with this notice as a symbol of suppression, warning gesture which disables independent – whatever meaningful in fact – parol manifestation. Electroacoustic composition named with this sentence tries to demonstrate this symbology on the confrontation of fragmentary speech, minimalist unruly sounds of guitar and radio (radio has many meanings in the context of War World Two).

Takto pojmenovaná elektroakustická kompozice se snaží tuto symboliku konkretizovat konfrontací fragmentarizované mluvy, minimalisticky pojatého svévolného zvuku kytary a rádia (které je v kontextu s druhou světovou válkou mnohovýznamové).
