Datel zkázy (The Woodpecker of Doom) is a sub-group, side-kick and extra-marital affair of Sova smrti (The Owl of Death). Both groups work on the same principle: all the sound materials have their origin in the banjo, sampled and processed by the electronics of Jan Faix. In Sova smrti, Tomáš Mika plays the banjo, with Ian Mikyska acting as his woodpeckerish banjo countepart. To coincide with the release of Sova smrti's eponymous debut album on polí5, we present a recording of Datel zkázy's performance at the legendary Bomba club in Kraków, where they performed as part of the Ha!wangarda Festival. The cover design, as in the case of the Sova smrti, was made by Anastasia Vrublevská.
Ian Mikyska: banjo da gamba
