Matúš Kobolka (aka Bolka) is a composer, performer and open-source enthusiast based in
Brno. Bolka’s practice has shifted from free-improvised electronic music to more rigorous tactics embracing comedy, “genre-bending”, and repurposing popular music techniques. He aims for estranging computer music along with the ways of performing it live, which often leads to explicit abuse of technology and playful sonic outcome. In 2016, he graduated from the
Institute of Sonology in The Hague. He uses a custom-made software written in SuperCollider programming environment in combination with naïve hardware solutions.
In recent years, he has been skating on thin ice with experimental songs about love and closeness, exploring the subversive possibilities of interpreting them in a live concert setting.
Second Sundays is a monthly series initiated by Q-O2. Each session a new guest is invited to share an insight into their own listening, playing and speaking about a selection of sound and music that is important to their thinking or practice. The sessions try to put value on listening to recorded music in a social setting as a space for discussion.
