I Am Planet at Pohoda on the Ground

I Am Planet is the project of Slovak composer Patrik Korinok. He combines contemporary classical music with elements of minimalism and motifs strongly inspired by nature. His debut Silene Stenophylla was ranked among the best albums of 2014 on Beehy.pe and Arcticdrones. Pravda introduced On The Way To Antarctica (2016) with the headline: This is what pretty music sounds like. Two years later, he released Natura Resonat on Deadred Records. As musicserver.cz writes: “It is an intense confession about the state of nature, its echoes in us and its fluttering moods.” On his latest record, Záznamy ticha, he turns for the first time to the inner man, to the problem of information smog, to the natural need for silence in the contemporary context after years of searching for archetypes in nature or experimenting with sacred sound. He uses silence as a full part of the composition on the recording, as well as during the concert version.

Patrik works closely with violinist Martin Lipták and violist Radovan Milan. Cellist Milena Hrušovská and drummer Stanislav Geci also participate in the latest album. Before his neoclassical debut in 2014, he composed indie-folk, mostly guitar music. He gained valuable experience in this genre in 2009 and 2011, when he recorded two singles in collaboration with producer Brandon Paddock (Panic! at the Disco, Avril Lavigne, Christina Perri) and producer Josh Gleave at Covenant Studio (MO, USA). After a significant genre change, he has collaborated with singer Ivana Mer, with whom he composed the single Eyja for the compilation Ostrov hudby (Island of Music, 2017), he also appeared as guest on the album Matka (2016) and on the 10'' split (2017) released by the dark bass'n'drum core band Ničiteľ.
