Matouš Hejl (*1989) is an author of mostly instrumental and electronic music. He has also been partaking in various film, theater, dance and other performances as well as multimedia projects. As a performer, he makes use of the piano as a sounding object: subtle drones made through repurposing vibrators as mechanic bows for the piano strings merge with amplified noises from the instrument. He studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and Berklee College of Music in Boston. Recognitions of his work include the 2nd place in the Czech Philharmonics Composition Competition (2018), Trochu nižší C4 (2018), a contemporary music award, Karel Krautgartner Prize for the Best Composition for Jazz Orchestra (2016) or nomination for the Czech Lion for the Best Music (2016). |
