HUDBA MIKULOV | Concert | Performance | Soundride

An experimental sound performance where the bicycle becomes a medium: as an instrument, actor and kinetic apparatus.  The project explores how experimental and electro-acoustic compositions unfold in the landscape of Mikulov as the central stage and its surroundings. The audience can virtually follow the performative journey, translated into projections and sound, becoming part of a constantly changing spatial choreography.

In this part, RAD Performance enters into a dialog – Along the Line with the pictures by Radek Kroupa, who documented the punk scene in Mikulov from 1980 to 2000. Kroupa’s archive captures a local culture of resistance: a network of underground concerts and DIY forms of expression that can exist under socio-political restrictions.

RAD Performance builds on this spirit, not through nostalgia, but by continuing the idea of using music to reshape public space, build communities and challenge normative structures.

Routes become scores: the start and finish points of each ride define the temporal structure of the composition. The audiovisual recordings of the cycle route create a dynamic, constantly changing soundscape that combines Mikulov’s sonic past with contemporary performance.
