Hybrid Sessions is a monthly series at Kampus Hybernská. We feature an opening improvised duo set with two musicians coming from different backgrounds to form a new constellation. Afterwards, we host a jam session open to all musicians, regardless of background. We want to create an open environment where musicians feel free to be creative in the moment, nothing is predetermined and the only expectation is a high level of presence. A basic backline will be provided.
Additionaly we're open for people to suggest the line up of the group so the group doesn't have to be currated by us anymore. Anyway we want to keep Hybrid Sessions being a platform for experimenting so please: no already existing bands.
This time Marco Fiorini (guitar) and Filip Tománek (drums) will perform.
Filip Tomanek is a Pardubice player of percussion instruments and percussion. Despite his studies at the Classical Conservatory, the KJJ Jazz School and the Jazz Department of HAMU, he strives to maintain a self-taught approach.

Here he conducts artistic residencies with double bassist Jöelle Léandre and percussionist Lorenzo Colombo, exploring the interaction between musicians and artificial intelligence in the field of improvisation.
