Sylvia Bruckner CZEQ-ART@ – Seven Quartets

In 2022, Viennese pianist Sylvia Bruckner discovered the Brno improvisation scene and found kindred spirits there. In the spring of 2025, she presented her “Czech quartet” with Radim Hanousek - saxophones, bass clarinet; Martin Opršál - marimba, vibraphone; Jakub Švejnar - percussion, objects in a concert at PONAVA Café. The mutual understanding that developed there led to another meeting in the studio, where these recordings were made. They capture the rare connection between all those involved. You could call it Sounding Friendship. In the last piece, Martin Opršál, apart from his marimba and vibraphone, also plays an unnamed homemade instrument.

Out now! https://marecords.bandcamp.com/album/mourisca

Mourisca is a place where a few more stories can be observed every time you arrive. Seven parts were put in motion by me and are open for you to catch, between your palms, in your hair, under your feet. Anything that moves will do!
Momentarily meanings are created by you listening to it; by doing so, one wing closes so another can fly. Mourisca suggests what I have learned about how to even speak.

While shaping this creature into a playful being, two layers of sound mingled and intertwined here. For a moment it almost felt like having a band with myself.

Both tracks are improvised and recorded live in one piece. Electronics was captured by me on a portable recorder. The next step involved recording the saxophone in a small church in Kostelec nad Černými Lesy. Free of nostalgia of the past or future, everything stretches a little bit more and captures how I experience and create things now.

Here is what Jan has to say about the album:

MepMep – Chop & Cut

Edith Steyer – reeds 🎷
Peter Balhar - drums 🥁
Miriam Leo - piano 🎹

This trio, consisting of drums, piano, and clarinet or alto saxophone, explores the art of free improvisation as a living web of sound, connection, discourse, and dialogue. Each performance unfolds as a spontaneous exchange: an open conversation shaped by listening, tension, and trust.
