Tomáš Dvořk Bio * 78
Music:
My work has been always significant for its seek between visual medias and music. From childhood I have been learning clarinet. I started to produce electronic music under project «Floex» in 96 touched by the musical movement in UK represented by labels like Warp, GPR, Pork, Ninja Tune. In the begining contributing with several tracks to compilation like Inform, Future Sound of Prague II and III. Also in that time my demo Hub was released, which was distributed around the world via internet.
I released debut album Pocustone in 2001 (at Quazidelict records). The album has been very well critically acclaimed - the album of the month in several music mags, praiseful reviews, one of the most airplayed Czech artists on Prague independent Radio 1. Pocustone collected several prestigeous awards in and also outside of the Czech Republic. Album was licensed to Japan and Germany and several tracks appeared on the international compilations (Japan, Canada). In the year 2000-2005 I also made few remixes (Ivan Kral, ZKA4T, Priessnitz, Monkey Business, The Ecstasy Of St.Theresa).
From 2002 I started to cooperate on several movies making musical soundtracks ( movies Nightmare, To the Sun, To be Wulf for the Last Time, In the Air), also I cooperated with other visual artists on their project - eg. Federico Díaz - (Sakura presented on the Ars Electronica Festival 2005, Malich reinterpretation project presented in Museum Kampa) .
I made music for interantionally awarded art-game «Samorost II» by Amanita Design. Soundtrack was later developed into 40 min. long album (released on Quazidelict Records).
Visuals and Multimedia:
From 94 exploring other ranges of media (painting, graphic, webdesign, interactivity).
The real turning point comes in 2002 when I became student of Prague Academy of Fine Arts / New Media department.
My main focus are interactive works and installations almost always based on the musical themes. I graduated the school in 2006.
