On an adventurous journey with Bohemian Cristal Instrument (an après Cristal Baschet), Lenka Morávková is processing its acoustic capacities along with her voice to create unexpected soundscapes on the border of movie score and pulsing dance music.
In 2016, she was given a Gluck stipend at UCR and awarded the funding to ship the instrument to Los Angeles, where she is currently residing. Recently, she played at the prestigious Broad Museum in Los Angeles, did a TEDx talk and this summer, she will be performing at festivals with William Close and The Earth Harp Collective. Her plan is to travel to most beautiful, creepy or history heavy places and perform the instrument there. Also, she plans on developing an interactive light show for concerts with her "glass beast". She gives concerts, workshops and lectures in the USA and Europe.
In 2012 Lenka Morávková designed the first Cristal Baschet (named Bohemian Cristal) in the Czech Republic and assisted Spanish artist Martí Ruiz, of the Metalúdic Baschet Collective, in the construction of the instrument. She first played it in a performance October of that year at the International Glass Symposium in Nový Bor.
The Cristal Baschet was originally conceived and developed in 1952 by François and Bernard Baschet, two French brothers who built a myriad of experimental instruments and sound sculptures, which are now exhibited in galleries and private collections around the world. As it is possible to play this instrument at a high level of virtuosity, the Cristal Baschet has become the most successful of the instruments created by the Baschet Brothers.
A unique live show from Lenka Morávková and her Bohemian Cristal Instrument is an extraordinary experience, which immerses you into a world where futurism and tradition, digital and nature-based becomes one.
