Spectaculare_14 - Floex Ensemble (křest) + Juha Mäki-Patola

The six-member Floex Ensemble will demonstrate that even classical music can be emotional and full of twists and turns, that electronic music can sound orchestral, and that classical music, conversely, can have a club-like feel. The concert is part of the warm-up for the Spectaculare festival, which will take place in March and April 2027.

The Floex Ensemble’s new live concept, led by cellist Tomáš Jamník, will guide us through an expansive four-part composition in a unique spatial multichannel sound. The ensemble, which began as an occasional project for live performances of Floex’s soundtracks, has evolved into an autonomous creative group thanks to its long-term collaboration with composer and conductor Jan Šikl, and with this album has officially begun a new phase of its existence.

The conceptual album *Directors* explores the theme of the diversity of how we each see the world and perceive reality, represented by imaginary directors and their varied approaches to the creative process. The album is scheduled for release in late September or early October.

The November evening will open with Finnish composer Juha Mäki-Patola, whose work straddles the line between contemporary classical and ambient music. In his compositions, he builds on the tradition of artists such as Jóhann Jóhannsson and Nils Frahm, creating music that is at once intimate, cinematic, and captivatingly atmospheric.
