“The Future Sound of Slovakia vol. 1” is a sonic journey through the folk songbook of various regions of Slovakia, reinterpreted with a unique perspective. The project emerged in 2021 during the pandemic, giving life to a demo album created entirely with virtual instruments. Four years later, this work evolves into deeper versions, exploring genres such as no wave, electro-rock, indie dance, and downtempo.

The voices of Petřa Valentová, Dominika Vitková, and Alica Heregová (members of the national ballet Lúčnica) intertwine with the contributions of other musicians of Slovak, Argentine, Peruvian, French, English, Romanian, Japan, and New Zealand origin. An intergenerational dream team that includes Abello Cepero Travaglini (ukulele), Andrei Mărginean (soundscapes), Andrew Gibson (electric guitar), Benito Malacalza (ronroco, Andean flutes, tarka, sikus), Daniel Inger (accordion), Germán Estrella (fretless bass), Igor Babiak (balafon), Jakub Pišek (digital ozembuch), Kate Farquhar (trumpet), Katka Lahová (backing vocals), Matthias Moreno (drums and Moog), Miloš Kondač (guitar), Yutaka Ban (fujara) and Cristian Estrella (keyboards, percussion, acoustic guitar, virtual instruments, and programming).
