Episode 7 – MY EMANCIPATION DON’T FIT IN YOUR EQUATION – Planet

Aneta Kováčová is a musician, an educator, and a music event organizer. She graduated from performing arts high school and afterwards she spent some time in London. Currently she resides in Prague and until recently she was organizing regular jam sessions at the Cross Club where she was also participating mainly as a vocalist. During this summer she started performing with her solo project Planet. Her musical production is mostly the result of improvisation and she frequently uses the loop station which helps her build a whole song with just her vocals. What is it about solo and group improvisation that she finds so enriching? What is it like to find your way back to music after uncomfortable experiences? What are her thoughts on music education that she went through and what is her approach to music lessons? Does she feel a connection to the Roma musical tradition? And what are the stereotypes related to Roma musicians that our society upholds?
