Vladimír Hirsch
EPIDEMIC MIND
Conceptual album. 2007.
Vladimír Hirsch – composition, all instruments, programming,
Kenji Siratori – lyrics, voice.

The album Epidemic Mind opens wide space, but replete of dense and compressed atmosphere, microtonality and intense insight into amorphic harmonic structures. This is one of Vladimír Hirsch’s albums working with the theme of the dialogue between space and detail, cosmos and human. The parallel vertically and horizontally organized chaotic atonal melodic elements contrast with the slow, heavy rhythmical patterns and monotonic and emotionally plain expression of the spoken word of Japanese cyber-punk writer Kenji Siratori’s lyrics. The Japanese text is…

Vladimír Hirsch : Missa Armata . Invocationes - Ars Benevola Mater, Sept.6, 2012

TWO albums in ONE !

ENG:
The album contains two thematically similar works, original version of the battle Mass Missa Armata (English translation: "Mass in Armor") and Invocationes, a cycle of musical prayers. Both works belong to the larger main directional scope of Vladimír Hirsch's creative perimeter. In a musical context, they represent theconfrontational nature of his music. The character of rites is the main axis of both compositions. As such, bothprojects fit naturally together.

Missa Armata (1999) is based on standard liturgical elements, except the…

Cryptosynaxis (DVD version)

The Mass for integrated techiniques, op.64, 1999-2010. The original composition "Missa Armata" (1999) by Vladimír Hirsch was later reworked into the first Aghiatrias album, named FIELD MASS (2000). It was completely revisited and renamed as "Cryptosynaxis" (hidden worship in ancient Greek). The composition is based on standard structure of liturgical elements. The music demonstrates a highly structured industrial sound combined with classical instrumentation. The music demonstrates a highly structured industrial sound combined with classical instrumentation. It expresses a battle that is eventually disrupted by violent scream convincing enough to end the turmoil and for the both sides…

Fri 1 Feb – Vladimír Hirsch, Anhedonia

Light and agreable "electro ambient" show with dancing items of Anhedonia was followed by ritual mass of Vladimír Hirsch performance of composition "Torment of Naissance", some story full of akathisia and pain, that without rest culminated by absolute thematic and sound peak in final katharsis in listeners souls as parturition in birth of new life. Very intensive experience.

Among all Stabat Maters ever set to music by various composers over the centuries, this Antonín Dvořák´s work holds a special place as the most symphonic one and as the one that was the most clearly written by a classical orchestral composer. It is also one of the most moving Stabat Maters in terms of the personal background of the composer.
