Hailing from Slovakia, Ondrej Zajac is an experimental musician pushing the boundaries of guitar.
His solo and collaborative works have resonated not only in his homeland but also in the Czechia, UK, Mexico, Peru and beyond. He seamlessly blends his distinctive soundscapes into film scores and gallery exhibitions, crafting immersive auditory experiences.
At the same time, Zajac constantly reinvents himself, discarding his past works without hesitation.

Once known for its intensity and sadness his music has since evolved, becoming more approachable. His music is marked by both technical rigor and spontaneity, captivating audiences from festival in Switzerland, to a secret shows in botanical garden or a small improvised setups in Japan.
Zajac doesn’t just stick to solo work; he collaborates with Banausoi (alongside Petr Vrba and Václav Šafka) and explores new sonic territory with Data Koroptev (featuring Ondřej Ježek and Václav Šafka). Lately, you can see him playing in a duo with Stroon.

Tomáš Prištiak (Tante Elze, Weltschmerzen) študoval filmovú dokumentárnu tvorbu a v súčasnosti sa venuje zvuku ako médiu v rôznych kontextoch. Na debute dog-rose spytuje existenciu prírody, hranice umeleckého, umelého a field recordingovej piesne. Pri performovaní sa snaží docieliť moment hry a akcentovať kontrasty tichého a hluku. So zvukom prírodných materiálov pracuje ako so zrkadlom ľudského diania. Vo svojich projektoch (Umelá chlopňa, Krosná, Vertikálny brod) sa zaoberá témami ako performatívne počúvanie, reflektívnosť vo zvuku, hudbe a tele.
Podujatie sa koná s podporou z verejných zdrojov z Nadácie mesta Bratislavy.
