Petr Válek is simultaneously a musician, inventor and uncompromising outsider.
Together with his trio, the Czech artist creates a singular sonic world of self-built instruments, mutant electronics, objects, scrap materials and free improvisation — somewhere between noise, Dada, ritual and DIY punk.
What emerges feels less like a concert and more like stepping into another reality.
On festival Friday, the Petr Válek Trio transforms Ballhof 1 into an open sonic space, with the audience loosely gathered around the performance area on cushions and chairs.
A true underground artist of a kind rarely found today.
