Iva Bittová - Iva Bittová album flac

Iva Bittová is an extraordinary artist. Raw and refined, passionate and contained, she has the soul of a gypsy, the voice of a troubadour, and the mind of a genius. NPR/All Things Considered. Ms. Bittová is a true cosmopolitan, but she remains grounded in local expressions, and her own physicality. She takes on the role of the singer as town crier whose voice animates the old myths and current news. Bittová’s town is her self, ruled by the rhythms of sexuality, the flights of her imagination and the realities of modern social life.

Iva Bittová's self-titled album for ECM is almost literally impossible to describe, let alone categorize. She plays violin (bows, strums, plucks, and gently hammers its strings), kalimba, and sings. The music consists of 12 "fragments," all but one composed by Bittová

Iva Bittová (born 22nd July 1958) is a Czech avant-garde violinist, singer, and composer. She began her career as an actress in the mid 1970s, appearing in several Czech feature films, but switched to playing violin and singing in the early 1980s. She started recording in 1986, and by 1990 her unique vocal and instrumental technique gained her international recognition.

Iva Bittova is a one-woman band from the Czech Republic. She plays violin, sometimes viola, and sings - or rather, she sings, croons, grunts, and makes funny sounds like a madwoman. Somehow, it all works. Not only do we get cowbells and odd poundings in the background, but Bittova actually whinnies during the song. Most of the album is a bit more composed than that, resembling Joe Jackson's Heaven and Hell in its quirky intensity, although Bittova is of course working with smaller, less raucous forces. If studied weirdness is your cup of tea, grab a crumpet and put on Iva Bittova. 1 Driv Nez (Before) Iva Bittová 5:47. 2 Dedecek (Grandfather) Iva Bittová 2:59. 3 Proudem Mléka (River of Milk) Iva Bittová 4:43
