Who am I, you ask?
I was born under a good constellation of stars in may of 1998, right after the Czech national ice hockey team won the biggest tournament in the history of the sport. But even though our god-like goalkeeper was called Dominik and the nation wanted him for president & everybody named their male offspring Dominik, my lovely parents have decided to call me František. And I respect it, it’s something you have to accept and live with. You may not agree but the parents do have a right to give a name. After all, it’s just a name. So why are we talking about it for so long?
about.
František Hruška (1998), born in Ostrava, lives in Brno. He is a sound artist, musician, composer, poet... He studied Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, then spent some time developing synthesizers for Bastl Instruments and now works in sound, music and related fields.
František Hruška's live improvised sound and light performances focus on the concepts of playfulness in music, communication issues and sound ecology. He plays on the listener's imagination and on analogue electronic instruments, most often of his own making. From organic analogue abstraction, through pulsating electro-confrontation, to the depths of colourful sound eruptions.
His electro-acoustic, acousmatic, fixed-media and other compositions often focus on sound ecology, in an attempt to draw attention to the act of conscious active listening and to the mundane and colorful poetics of sound using obscure physical and sound objects. František refers to his work as “stirring through sound the fabric of time”.
He has presented his work across Europe in environments ranging from academic contemporary music, DIY or underground scenes, through pop music to dance music, noise and beyond.
He made his debut in poetry with the book of poems Predominant Time (Mlat edition, Větrné mlýny, 2021) and his verses have also appeared on many other literary platforms. He has published poetry and other texts many times in anthologies, magazines, newspapers and on the internet. His poetry has been translated into many languages, and he has had a large number of public literary readings.
