17.11. / KIPPIS KOKEILU: Climara Forte + Semot Semot Posa + Richard Hronský + Ján Števuliak + u.n.o

If people never experimented, we’d still be sitting in the cold, not warming ourselves by the fire. The idea of celebrating improvisation sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Well, we’ve decided to make one of our own. Ours is a mix as colorful and unpredictable as a stew made from the leftovers of different musical kitchens – or a home-brewed, unfiltered heavy beer with a hint of something synthetic. Still, the natural color and flavor of it all won’t be lost.

With a broad lineup of young musicians stretching between Finland and Slovakia, between classical and experimental music, professionalism and pure amateur joy – across all the bright frequencies of sound and instrument combinations – we’ll cook up a real goulash of sound.Care to come and have a taste?

Climara Forte

Semot Semot Posa

Semot semot posa is a dream band by two lovers. Theater makers and performers Minne Mäki and Io Pettersson utilise their bodies to dream big in sound, music and performance, at the same time being radically honest and amateur. They play softly with hardware, hardly with software and everything in between to find places to connect and grow.

Ján Števuliak

ján is a composer, organist and multidisciplinary artist. they like contrast very much (perhaps because their main identities of a catholic organist and a wannabe ballroom-voguing diva are set to be at odds), and through its use they try to synthesise the weird feeling of incongruity when its standalone components are composed next to each other.

be it mixing high art with low art, mess with clarity, kellotapuli with a kirkkovene (kippis xD), or ugly chords with pretty chords; they try to play with the confusion, look for the sense of it all and suggest that diversity is indeed beautiful and the dialogue is necessary

on being comforted, on loving and being loved. on changing together, slowly, peacefully, but irreversibly.
sense of time passing, yet offering timelessness at the same time.
a set with its own rules resembling a game.
a transformation from innocent, silly and light-hearted state of being to one with deeply profound but melancholic, realistic and heartbreaking quality

Richard Hronský

Richard Hronský (2002) is a Western Carpathian transdisciplinary artist, musician, and “ambient shepherd” – he plays the traditional overtone bass wind instrument, the fujara. In his live performances, he focuses on decomposing the sound of the fujara through electronic processing, denationalizing it, and together with compositional harmonies and collected field recordings, shaping them into boundless dreamscapes. These landscapes mourn the sorrows of the world, reveal intimacy through nostalgia and frozen memory, yet at the same time invite contemplation and silence. He has been active in music production since the age of thirteen.

He has released three albums, the most recent, Pohreb (Funeral), published in September 2025 by mappa editions (Slovakia – international). In 2024–2025 he studied in Athens, where he actively participated in the experimental music events ATD held in the city’s underground sewer system.

Hronský also organizes DIY events – collective exhibitions and concerts in abandoned buildings or natural environments. He initiated/curated the exhibition Rozptyl (Dispersion, 2023) in Bratislava, which brought together more than 150 artists from over ten EU countries and was realized with almost no financial support.

Through his approaches, he continuously stimulates free creativity, questions competitiveness, and reminds us of the encouragement – and above all the kindness – that remain in artistic creation.
