BIO
Martin Hurych is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans sound art, performance, architecture, and curatorial projects. Based in The Hague (NL) and Lubná (CZ), he works with field recordings, documentary audio, generative coding, and custom-built synthesizers to create live performances, installations, and sonic explorations.
He has performed at notable festivals and venues across Europe, including the Next Festival (Bratislava, SK), PAF Festival of Film Animation and Contemporary Art (Olomouc, CZ), and Rewire Festival (The Hague, NL).
As a co-founder and curator of the Přespolní association, he has been involved in organizing cultural programs in Lubná (CZ) since 2017. Přespolní provides a platform for exhibitions, residencies, and organizes the annual Bučení festival, a festival of experimental electronic music and audio-visual art.
Hurych’s projects often merge sound, space, and community engagement, inviting audiences to reflect on the subtle layers of their surroundings and the sociopolitical narratives that shape them.
