Floex

The Spectaculare festival Warm Up presents the launch of Directors, a new original album by the creative duo Floex & Jan Šikl.

Performed in immersive multichannel sound at ARCHA+, the concert will guide audiences through an expansive four-part composition brought to life by Floex Ensemble, led by renowned Czech cellist Tomáš Jamník. Originally formed as a live vehicle for Floex’s acclaimed soundtrack work, the ensemble gradually evolved through its long-term collaboration with composer and conductor Jan Šikl into an autonomous creative group. With Directors, the ensemble officially enters a new phase of its artistic journey.

The conceptual album explores the diversity of human perception and the many ways we interpret reality. These perspectives are represented through a series of imaginary film directors, each embodying a different creative approach, worldview and method of shaping experience.

The November evening will open with a performance by Finnish composer Juha Mäki-Patola, whose work inhabits the space between contemporary classical music and ambient soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Jóhann Jóhannsson and Nils Frahm, his compositions combine intimate expression, cinematic depth and a quietly immersive atmosphere. The album is scheduled for release in late September or early October.

The concert is organised in cooperation with ARCHA+.
