When I was choosing musicians whose profiles shouldn’t be missing at Artyčok.tv I placed emphasis on continuity, untriteness, self-will in beating path, so called „international exchange“ and effect. Ivan Palacký plays the amplified knitting machine Dopleta and he is the most successful Czech representative (in the Czech Republic also an inovator) of a new non-idiomatic approach to an improvised music which started off at the turn of the Millenium for example in Berlin, Vienna and Tokio. He cooperated with many international elites of the genre, in past he composed remarkable songs for a music group Sledě, živé sledě (Herrings, Live Herrings).
