Entry for FSC #100: Pame Faul - Miracles
giphy.gif


INTERESTING FACT: The song Miracles was written in 12 minutes. The videoclip is highly symbolical. The individual features in the music, the colour in the videoclip and the static of the shots – all has a deeper meaning. The aim was to create a minimalist, visual story. It captures 1 year of Pame Faul’s life that brought him a significant life progress. The story should be the opposite of “tabula rasa”, i.e. blank slate. A human is born as a “blank slate” - having no innate ideas and perceptions – and gradually gains experience and the slate becomes full. Pame Faul is at the beginning of the clip completely black – which refers to darkness and sadness in his life. Later, the colour turns into silver and eventually becomes sparkling white that symbolises a new beginning – a beginning of life. Yet, there are still blurred words in black on his chest that stay there forever. “There’s so much pain, so many tears behind the song ” – Pame Faul.

Pame Faul is a new rising star in the Czech pop music scene. “Miracles” is his debut song that was released in April 2016, and, according to his words, marks the beginning of his music career. The song offers a unique mixture of dream-pop and electro-pop, which together create an atmospheric subgenre of alternative rock. The videoclip that complements this song contains some artistic features and it fills the gap in the Czech pop scene.

Pame Faul is the author of the lyrics as well as the composer of Miracle. The main motto of the song is "I AM MIRACLE, YOU ARE MIRACLE, WE ARE MIRACLES" and the singer encourages the listeners to believe in miracles. Pame Faul wants to change the society through his music and even though this might seem like a bold statement, Pame thinks that the reach of the music industry, in general, is large enough to make this happen. Through his song, he wants to convey a simple message – if you want to achieve something in your life, then the first person who must believe in you is yourself.

Pame Faul: “I’m writing most of my songs on my bed and the day when Miracles was written was no different. There was a sunlight shining through a roof window and the entire song was finished in 12 minutes. I had a feeling that it was not even myself – so I feel during most of my song writings. If I don’t finish the song within few minutes, I have a feeling that it has not undergone a natural process. I want songs to be genuine and not created with whatever intention.

Growing up, Pame Faul didn’t understand the people around him and his friends. As he says, he didn’t have many of them. “They were behaving in a strange way, they were interested in things that I wasn’t interested at all. I didn’t want to talk with them just from necessity. Pame Faul started with music at 14 at home and started with singing lessons that he didn’t tell anybody about for 1.5 years. At university, he met many new friends whom he had more in common. “The feeling that I had during the first listening to the final version of my song is something that I want to feel until the end of my life".

The song was first composed on the Christmas Eve 2012 and since then the song was being tweaked until the official release of the final version. The song was produced by David Butler (MISSIO). The videoclip was directed by a photographer Martin Faltejsek, and Monika Krobova was responsible for the styling.

Currently, the artist is working with a foreign producer towards EP release.

Entry for FSC #101: Mikolas Josef – Believe (Hey Hey)
giphy.gif

INTERESTING FACT: Mikolas Josef was rumored to be one of the potential candidates for ESC in 2017. Reportedly, he was in a close cooperation with the ESC team of the Czech television broadcaster in the internal selection process.

Entry for FSC #102: Jakub Děkan - Děda
2vNkyDi


INTERESTING FACT: The song “Děda” (in English “Grandfather”) is about the singer’s grandfather who passed away few years ago. Jakub Děkan explains that “the song is a letter for his grandfather to the heaven about things that occurred during the past years. He sings about who became the winner of the Czech Music Awards as well as about how his grandfather’s favorite soccer team did in the past season. He also remembers some of the situations that he experienced with his grandfather together. All people in the video, including the person on the wheelchair, were his grandfather’s best friend.

Jakub Děkan was born in 1992 and started singing at the age of 15. He is a Czech singer as well as presenter at cultural and sport events. He loves soccer and futsal. In 2008, he founded a pop-rock band Rosemary and released a successful EP called Lies. In 2013, he became a member of the Attic Vanity band, where he experienced his very first music tour.

In 2012, he created a band “Just Try” in order to compete in the Czech Talent Show (a Czech version of the Got Talent). With a huge success, they proceeded into the ‘Big Bang’ stage of the competition, where they voluntarily decided to leave the contest as they wanted “to keep their own face for the next fights”.

Later, having gained further experience as one of the singer in the pop & rap band Atmo music, he was offered to start his own music career. The song Děda is his third song released.

Entry for FSC #114: Vesna - Kyticka
Vesna-band_Jiri-Sujansky-758x505.jpg


INTERESTING FACT: What really makes the band stand out is their original and very elaborate image. They create a whole story around them in which each of the four musicians represents one Slavic Goddess. Pianist Tanita is Vesna, the Goddess of spring, fresh, tender, naive, full of courageous dreams and plans. Flute player Andrea represents the Goddess of summer Živa, fertile, passionate, playful and full of energy. Violinist Bára impersonates Mokosh, the somewhat enigmatic, Goddess of fall, who is at the same time a kind, caring mother figure. And lastly, Morana, the Goddess of winter and death, represented by singer Patricie. She is an icy beauty, sometimes cruel with the power to torment but also to renew.

Ancient Slavic goddesses have descended to Earth. They are called ‘Vesna’, a Czech female band which turns music into a Slavic fairy-tale. The band consists of four talented and truly original artists, who came together to form an exciting new project. Vesna offers a fresh and distinctly feminine take on Slavic folklore. In Czech language, Vesna means the Goddess of spring.

These four musicians hit the music scene in 2017 with a stunning multi-media show featuring music, art, fashion show, and an ethereal dance performance and caused an instant sensation. Vesna’s music is a mesmerizing fusion of Wallachian folklore, classical music, jazz and world music. It is inspired by Slavic Goddesses, four seasons and traditional lifestyle.

The songs, written by the singer Patricie, will charm you with their soul-stirring melodies and dreamy harmonies while the lyrics evoke images of nature and traditional lifestyle. Vesna builds on a strong tradition of storytelling present in Slavic culture. Each song is a tale. The music together with the video add a captivating movie-like atmosphere to this song.

Vesna is not only about music, it is rather a multi-artistic project says pianist Tanita. The four Goddesses successfully merge music with other forms of art such as dance, visual art, and fashion, creating an immersive artistic experience. The singer Patricie explains that: “art is not only about music, it has to be about every little detail, there has to be harmony. Our music is naturally reflected in other areas.” One such area is fashion. You have probably noticed the fantastic fancy dresses they wear in the pictures. These were created specially for the band by Czech designer Kamila Vodochodská. Her collection ”Vesna” reflects Slavic Goddesses, while exploring the ever-changing nature of a woman, from a naive girl, to a passionate lover, a caring mother and an uncompromising woman of power.

Entry for FSC #124 - Mikolas Josef ft. Fito Blanko & Frankie J:
Acapella

NHO7b85f8_8.jpg


Do I even need to introduce Mikolas?


Mikolas Josef, born on 4 October 1995, is a Czech singer, songwriter, music producer, music video director, and choreographer. He represented the Czech Republic in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal, with the song "Lie to Me", reaching sixth place. Mikolas is the most successful Czech entrant to date in Eurovision history. In April 2018, he signed an international recording contract with Sony Music and RCA Records. His singles include:
  • "Hands Bloody" - 2015
  • "Free" - 2016
  • "Believe (Hey Hey)" - 2016
  • "Lie to Me" - 2017
  • "Me Gusta" - 2018
  • "Abu Dhabi" - 2019
  • "Acapella" - 2019

SURPRISE! What you might have not known yet about Mikolas....
  • In 2017, Mikolas Josef was offered by the Czech Eurovision broadcaster to sing a song "My Turn" - CAN YOU IMAGINE!? xdoh The song was later performed on the Eurovision stage by Martina Barta (remember the performace? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KT8_ZOHAXE ). Mikolas refused to sing this song and waited one more year to perform at Eurovision 2018.
  • Mikolas Josef is actually his stage name. His real, full name is Mikoláš Josef Čapoun which should correctly be pronounced as ['mikolaːʃ 'jozef 'tʃaːpoun]. Interestingly enough, not even Czechs pronounce his name this way and stick to the stage name Mikolas Josef.
  • His first single Hands Bloody, where he sets school on fire, conveys his feelings as a school boy when he suffered from sociophobia and low self-confidence, and "fairly dark thoughts were crossing his mind".
