Accompanying Program
Sounds of Games: Bulánci, Mario Kart and Bomberman with live music
Sounds of Games is an evening when ordinary video gaming turns into a concert. The audience becomes players, and their actions on the big screen are accompanied by a musician who creates beats, samples, and unexpected sounds live. Together, they journey through different game worlds, genres, and eras–from pixelated retro classics to futuristic adventures. Gaming chaos + live music + audience = one big show where no one knows what will happen in the next level.
Mario Kart
An arcade racing game where cute characters from the Nintendo universe do completely illegal things behind the wheel. Banana peels, turtle shells, drifting on the edge of physics.
Bomberman
Pure chaos from an era when games didn't have tutorials. Locked in an arena, everyone has bombs, everyone wants to survive, no one can keep track of everything. Tactics last for about the first ten seconds, then you just try not to insult your teammate, whom you just accidentally blew up. A pixel classic that looks cute and plays like a social experiment.
Bulánci
A legendary Czech shootout with adorable pillows that resolve conflicts with gunfire and grenades in a 2D bedroom. Fast, malicious, politically incorrect, and perfectly designed to turn friends into enemies in three rounds. Soft heroes, harsh consequences.
The programme will be hosted by Jarda, a champion hobby collector: gamer, tabletop RPG narrator, fantasy reader, barista and a prime example of squirrel-like attention. Expect unfinished sentences, jokes without punchlines, but also a dive into the world of gaming and science fiction like a professional diver. Jarda is a long-time host of gastronomic events, one of the performers on the Candycane coffee podcast, and was a guest on the lootbox podcast in an episode dedicated to the world of the Alien phenomenon. He is an organizer of board game events and a lifelong fan of computer and other games.
The musical accompaniment will be provided by a quartet DEVELOOPER, led by award-winning composer Petr Wajsar. Develooper is the result of an effort to synthesize techniques that allow music to be generated directly during the performance. Without any prior preparation of material – you, the players, will be the musical dramaturges!
