We
invite you to the New Year’s edition of the *W SAMO POŁUDNIE* series—a series of intimate, solo concerts featuring the most interesting artists from Central and Eastern Europe. On January 25, Richard Hronský—a musician from Slovakia who describes himself as an “ambient shepherd”—will take the stage. His solo concert is an opportunity to listen intently and get up close to the sound, in the peaceful, midday atmosphere of a Sunday.
Richard Hronský works with the fujara—a traditional Carpathian wind instrument inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List—subjecting its sound to decomposition and electronic processing. He combines it with field recordings to create expansive, contemplative soundscapes. His music evokes nostalgia, dormant memories, and intimacy, while also opening up space for silence and reflection. The artist has released three albums—the most recent of which, *Pohreb*, was released in September 2025 by Mappa Editions.
“Pohreb” functions as a private rite of passage performed in the twilight. It is not a mournful album in the traditional sense. Rather, it is the diary of someone who, after losing loved ones, is trying to rebuild their relationship with the world. The recordings from his home village are particularly striking—they intertwine with his grandmother’s whispered prayers, droning murmurs, and scattered electric guitar sounds. The sounds echo through the mountain valleys, returning in layers and shifting shape, as if the music were trying to capture something that constantly eludes it.
