Biography
VLADIMÍR HIRSCH (born in Benešov, Czechia) is a contemporary avantgarde composer, instrumentalist and sound experimenter, integrating contemporary classical, industrial and dark ambient music. His compositional style is characterized by polymodality and using digital technique to enhance sonic means of expression. Besides creating solo works, he is the founding member and leader of Aghiatrias, Skrol, Subpop Squeeze (alter ego), Zygote, Luminar Ax and Tiria bands & projects. He was also a member (keyboard player and vocalist) of the 80's experimental post-punk group Der Marabu.
Vladimír Hirsch has been composing since he was a teenager, when, as a pianist and organ player, he started to write romantic and classicist pieces with elements of experimental rock . However, he abandoned these compositions for some time and delved into experimental jazz and rock music up to 1986, when he joined post-punk band MARABU. Simultaneously he also started to apply modern classical forms to electronic and analog music resulting in a more transgressive industrial style . The trial in this direction is represented by the experimental space-ambient album SYNTHETICS-THEMES (1987), SYMPHONY NO.1 for two synthesizers (1989) and ORGAN PIECES (1991).
