About

I grew up (but never really grew up) in the post-mining town of Orlová (CZ) where my world views were shaped by the atmosphere of region´s industrial decay and its societal consequences on one hand, with a vibrant anarchopunk community on the other.

It all hugely affects what person i am and how i create stuff. And of course what topics i explore.

I´m involved in sonic/visual/activist adventures for more than 20 years and they are all integral part of my life so they are organically hugely intertwinned and they influence each other. 

I strongly believe that no one’s free until everybody’s free. That´s why i´m an anarchist and vegan. I will always stand against all kinds of prejudice and oppression.

I never had a punk nickname.

In 2017 I finally learned how to whistle (by accident).
