ROGUE WAVE

After a decade of composing under the pseudonym 'I am planet,' I have decided to leave my old artistic identity behind and continue under my real name. The project 'I am planet' has exhausted its possibilities, and over the years, the need for a pseudonym has become irrelevant. Alongside this transformation, other significant changes have been taking place in my life, bringing with them new experiences and previously unknown emotions. This period culminated in a work that had to mature within me in a certain way. I decided to compose music for a string orchestra.

Unlike my previous recordings, there was no initial concept for these compositions. This time, the driving force was an urgent need to respond to current themes in my personal life. However, in the work Rogue Wave, I do not attempt to judge these themes or engage in any discussion about them. Nor do I pose questions about complex life situations; these remain spoken outside the musical realm. As a composer, taking on the role of an observer of my own life, I allow my emotions and feelings to narrate a lyrical story without any rational analysis. Feeling and emotion. These became the building blocks of the compositions, which are a pure, highly concentrated blend of the deepest and most sincere essence I could channel into the music. I always create my music with the aim of conveying beauty in its purest and most concentrated form. At the same time, however, I also leave space for the darker places in the soul, as they too are ultimately part of life.

Rogue Wave is music that is old in spirit but modern in form. It is an intimate confession about the search for beauty, an excursion into a new, colorful world shown to me by my sons; yet it is also a statement about pain and sorrow, a process of coming to terms with the loss of my mother. For me, the EP Rogue Wave becomes an important milestone that not only defines my new musical direction but also offers an entirely new perspective on life itself."

ZÁZNAMY TICHA

2021 (Deadred Records / Starcastic)

12-inch black vinyl, Digital

On his latest record, Záznamy ticha, he turns for the first time to the inner man, to the problem of information smog, to the natural need for silence in the contemporary context after years of searching for archetypes in nature or experimenting with sacred sound. He uses silence as a full part of the composition on the recording, as well as during the concert version.  

NATURA RESONAT

2018 (Deadred Records / Starcastic)

12-inch creamy transparent vinyl, Digital

Natura Resonat is the current culmination of a music cycle lasting since 2014, in which I tried to express my relationship with nature. From the first album, I tried to free the compositions from superfluous elements and thus move closer to the purest, minimalist form, which could serve my goal with dignity: to create a reaction to the tracks, imprints of the creator in nature, to perceive pure life without any artificial impurities. It was this effort that naturally led me to sacral minimalism and other, traditional forms of classical music, which I was inspired by. These forms are pure, they do not need technical innovation or experimentation, their strength is in their simplicity and in living, urgent sincerity.

ON THE WAY TO ANTARCTICA

2016 (Deadred Records / Starcastic)

CD, Digital

During the creation of album, I was looking for a connection between metaphysical principles and the absurdity of everyday life, which often shows more truth than any philosophical direction.Sometimes you can see the beauty and some strange kind of depth in ordinary or absurd things. These hidden principles emerge unexpectedly, mostly only for a short time. My desire was to capture them in their natural form and convert them into music, which is able to reproduce those feelings over again. 

SILENE STENOPHYLLA

2014 (Self-release)

CD, Digital

With my eyes on nature and elements of minimalism, I made a decision. I named it Silene stenophylla.
