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 creates live performances, installations, and sonic explorations using field recordings, documentary audio, generative coding, and custom-built synthesizers. His work merges sound, space, and community engagement, inviting audiences to sense the subtle layers of their surroundings and the sociopolitical narratives that shape them.
In 2017, Hurych co-founded the Přespolní association in Lubná and has since curated its cultural programming. Přespolní provides a platform for exhibitions and residencies, and hosts the annual Bučení festival of experimental electronic music and audio-visual art.
