Petr Válek Trio - The Vape Noise | Überschlag Festival 2026

An evening somewhere between junkyard, laboratory, Dadaism and punk.

In Metal, Petr Válek, Ondřej Merta and Jara Tarnovski create a playful and hypnotic cosmos of self-made sound machines, metal objects, found objects, synthesizers, stones, branches and everyday objects.

Nothing remains still. Things roll, vibrate, creak, circle, clink and seem to set themselves in motion. Friction, resonance and chance give rise to music that is constantly changing and defies any fixed category.

The three artists come from different fields between sound art, experimental electronics, performance and improvisation. Together they develop a form of music-making in which objects, materials and movements become just as important as the musicians themselves.
Metal is simultaneously a concert, sound installation and performance.

A true underground artist, the likes of which are rarely found today.
