  • Bio

    D V A .. .. Circus, cabaret, beatbox, tango, popsongs, acoustic electro and electro acoustic in two layers cover. Human voices and acoustic instruments in loops. Lyrics in universal languages. Folklore of non exist nations. Somewhere between north and south, where Dva means 2. .... Dva are two, sometimes more. Bára Kratochvílová – vocals, clarinet and bass clarinet, saxophone, melodics, wind “midicontroler” and other toys. Jan Kratochvíl – guitar, banjo, looping, kitchen beatbox and vocals. Concerts are often accompanied by live meotar projector screening (Magdalena Hrubá, Markéta Lisá or Jakub Ružicka). The acoustic-electric sibling duo Dva was founded in the spring of 2006 near Trebechovice pod Orebem Nativity. Now they operate in Pardubice and Hradec Králové. They characterize themselves as Pop of non-existent radios. This spirit is also mirrored in their third album HU. During their four years of existence they performed more than 250 concerts in the Czech Republic and abroad (Réunion, Slovakia, Russia, France, Norway, Spain, Germany, Italy, Serbia, Austria, Poland, Hungary). They accompany live the theater performances of dance group VerTeDance – Emigrantes, silent movie The Cabinet of Dr. Caligary (in 2008 under film festival Project 100) and short movies by Georges Méliés. They also cooperated with Teater DNO, Theater Husa na Provázku and Theater Dejvice. Currently the duo works on music for documentary films by V. Klusák: Vše pro dobro sveta a Nošovic/All for the Good of the World and Nošovice and M. Ryšavý’s documentary Medvedí ostrovy/Bear Islands. In 2007 the duo founded their own “kitchen” (DIY) label called HomeTable where they publish local albums (Kollektt8). In 2008 the album of ringtones called Ringtones for Mobile Uphones was released and is freely downloadable on the label’s site Surreal Madrid. Pop of non-existing radios The third album of the duo Dva bears the name of HU (short for Hungary, or fifth most common surname in the world, an ancient Egyptian first word for “god” or a kind of goat). But in their language, for Dva it also means the first syllable pronounced by a human being as well as the sound of monkeys and owls. After the previous concept of folklore of non-existing nations with which they worked on the album Fonók (2008, Indies Scope), Dva come with the concept of pop of non-existing radios. For collaboration on this album they again chose the Berlin producer Jayrope. Info in Czech ..2dva.cz.. ..LIVE PROJECTS / ..
