Taking random notes and rubbing them together.
Vojtech Vesely (De Moi) is a Czech musician and sound artist, whose work with long decaying tones has been central to the development of the Drifting Intervals concept.
Drawing inspiration from the works of avant-garde composers like La Monte Young and experimental pioneers such as Terry Riley, Robert Fripp and Pauline Oliveros, Vesely delved into the realms of drones, tape loops, and deep reverberation. This exploration culminated in the development of his concept known as Drifting Intervals—a technique characterized by the gradual fusion of multiple tones or intervals, creating a cohesive ambient texture. To illustrate the core principle of Drifting Intervals, Vesely suggests imagining random notes being slowly blended together, like rubbing different colors of paint until they merge into a new shade.
In the early 2020s, Vesely composed music for various projects, including music for audio books such as 'Skoromodlitby' and 'Magorské Modlitby'. He has created music for both CalmApp, a San Francisco-based software company, and contributed to the SoundMindApp. Despite being based in Europe, Vesely found artistic resonance within the vibrant music community of Nevada City, California, where his installations, such as "The Quint," were showcased in local galleries in 2023.
Beyond music, Vesely is involved in environmental initiatives through his collaboration with Brian Eno and his charity EarthPercent, helping to raise awareness about sustainability in the arts.
