Písnění
singing, emotions, silence, purification, voice – possibility of expression, consonance
The project Písnění was originally created as part of the collaboration of the Environment studio with the Basement gallery in project Radio station – Two Weeks of Compassion. It was a eight-hour program called Písnění/ As long as it’s sung, it’s not dead yet – Dokud se zpívá, ještě se dá umřít (return to roots). The project transformed into a series of concerts and other performences.
In the concept of project Písnění is the main consonance of singing (it’s not karaoke). My singing with the singing of the original singers exists in harmony.
The selection of songs goes back to the depths of Czech pop, folk, country and chanson music.
Most of the time this selection of evergreen songs, constantly played on the radio stations, annoys us. Returning and immersing ourselves in the roots of Czech culture is irritating for many of us. But nostalgia opens the door to memories and emotions. These melodic evergreens are deep within each of us. We probably know the melody and lyrics to each of these songs…Sometimes we like to sing them…
For me, this project is primarily about the possibility of getting my voice in an environment where my voice is marginalized due to stronger voices.
Through heart-wrenching songs, I can fully let go and express emotions in lyrics interpreting my unspoken words. The long hours of my singing represent my frustration, anger, sadness and pain. These melodically simple yet strong and powerful songs are my means of expression. This style of expressing emotions through melodic music is accessible and close to each of us.
Long hours of singing to the point of complete exhaustion are a necessity for a traumatized and tired soul.
