Simon Rose – baritone saxophone

Jonas Gerigk – double bass

The music of Simon Rose and Jonas Gerigk grows out of shared resonance. The baritone saxophone and double bass, both tuned in E♭, meet on a common ground from which a wide sonic spectrum unfolds. Through attentive interaction they shape textures of shifting density—sometimes sparse and fragile, at other times layered and immersive. Overtones, multiphonics, and subtle nuances intertwine into a sound that may pulse with quiet intensity or hover in stillness. At times the two instruments blend so closely that they seem to form a single resonating body.

Duo vydalo v září 2025 debutové album ODE and AIR na Ma Records.

František Hruška (*1998, Ostrava) studied sonology in The Hague in the Netherlands, after which he worked developing synthesizers at the Brno-based company Bastl Instruments. He now works with sound and music in a wide range of contexts and forms; however, in his live improvised audio-visual performances he particularly foregrounds concepts of playfulness in music as well as questions of communication and sound ecology. František plays both on the listener’s imagination and on analog electronic instruments, most often of his own construction. His performances move from organic analog abstraction, through pulsating electro-confrontation, to the depths of colorful sonic eruptions.

The concert is organized by Bludný kámen in cooperation with the Institute of Film, Television and Radio Production of the Silesian University in Opava, and is supported by the budget of the Statutory City of Opava. Admission is voluntary (pay-what-you-wish).
