Ivo Medek (1956) has played a fundamental role in Brno, his main centre of activity. He was a founder of Ars Incognita in the 1980s. He is not only a composer but also an active organiser of musical life in Brno, where he acts as a crucial link, working on joint projects both with composers of the older generation (Piňos, Štědroň) and the younger (Dvořáková, Kavan – with whom he founded the improvisation group Marijan). He has taken part in team composition projects in various combinations. His style integrates a wide spectrum of the technical and sound discoveries of the new music, expresses his special fondness for percussion instruments, deploys humour, erudition and interest in integrating music into multimedia performances.
