Doom folk and dark ambient, with catharsis perhaps awaiting at the end. As part of a double concert at Prague’s Letohrádek Hvězda, Polish composer and musician Martyna Basta will perform alongside the Irish duo One Leg One Eye, whose founding member, Ian Lynch, is also a member of the band Lankum. The international guests will be accompanied by the Prague-based duo Aldana Duoraan and Tomáš Niesner, who will present their new album 𝘗𝘭𝘰𝘵.

One Leg One Eye operates in the realm of drone and doom folk, delving deep into mythology and the Irish soul in their dark ballads. Their album released this year, 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦, is conceived as a sonic prayer. The four-track album reimagines traditional compositions and vocal techniques, turning to ancient stories, anger, fury, and the beauty of the deities who rule over humanity.

Polish composer, singer, and producer Martyna Basta moves between ambient, folk, and art-pop in her work, while drawing on her musical training in acoustic guitar. She weaves ethereal vocals with field recordings and carefully crafted electronics, creating dreamlike yet intimate spaces where one can rest for a moment.

On the collaborative album 𝘗𝘭𝘰𝘵, Niesner’s guitar—simplified to pentatonic scales—meets the Yakut brumle played by Aldana Duoraan. 𝘗𝘭𝘰𝘵 develops hypnotic melodies and rhythms, oscillating between playfulness and focused musical meditation.
