STARTER | sonicART opera in one act
The story of this one-act opera takes place at the eighth floor of the block of flats at any prefabricated jungle. A married couple is going to celebrate the tenth wedding anniversary. Not that they would like to enjoy romantic moments but because the unbearable wife´s mother pushes them to celebrate it. She visits them on Sunday without any invitation. The husband and his wife are not a perfect example of a happy couple. The mother is well aware of it. Emotions in the kitchen escalate as the lunch is cooked. The kitchen gets to turbulences after the mother has entered. Mother has her own key how to make this meeting an “unforgettable” party and opens the Pandora´s box of the life of the married couple.
And two small children are all the time locked in the adjacent room.
Who knows why…?
A comedy for a narrator, a male voice and a female voice about looking for the truth between the floors, between a husband and his wife acting in and between pots and tableware accompanied by the electronic music and DJ-ing.

BIOGRAPHY
MICHAL LICHÝ, electronics
Michal Lichý o svém uměleckém alter egu Urbanfailure píše: „Je člověk. Rád improvizuje a baví se, hraje lo-fi techno t(h)rash. Urbanfailure patří k bratislavské hudební, vydavatelské a organizační platformě Urbsounds, spojující estetiku industrialu a techna. Minimalistická zvuková koláž kombinující prvky taneční elektronické hudby s noiseovou materií tvoří jakýsi metaforický audio dokument o městské civilizaci v postžánrové době. V produkci Urbanfailure se dekonstrukce industriálního hluku spojuje s konstrukcí nových zvukových struktur. Prostor postindustriální civilizace se tak ukazuje jako sice zruinovaný, ale pocitově působivý kosmos – nebo jeho hudební utopie.

Michal Lichy writes about his artistic Urbanfailure alter ego: „He´s a human being. He loves improvisation and entertainment, plays lo-fi techno t (h) rash. Urbanfailure belongs to the musical, publishing and organizing Urbsounds platform, based in Bratislava, connecting the aesthetics of industrial and techno. The minimalistic sound collage, which offers a combination of elements of electronic dance music with noise material, composes a metaphoric audio document about urban civilization in the post-genre age. In the production of Urbanfailure, the deconstruction of industrial noise meets construction of new sound structures. The space of post-industrial civilization presents itself as ruined on one side, but as an emotionally impressive universe, or its musical utopia on the other side.“
