Richard Hronský is a transdisciplinary artist, musician, and self-described “ambient shepherd” whose work bridges traditional instrumentation and experimental sound. Centered around the fujara — a Slovak overtone flute — his practice explores the deconstruction of its voice through electronic processing, field recordings, and layered harmonies. By “denationalizing” the instrument, he transforms it into expansive, contemporary soundscapes that feel intimate, reflective, and borderless.
Active in music since the age of thirteen, Hronský has released three albums to date, including his latest record Pohreb (2025) on mappa editions. His performances often unfold in unconventional contexts, from Athens’ underground sewer systems — where he participated in experimental events during his studies — to DIY concerts and exhibitions staged in abandoned buildings or natural environments.
Alongside his solo work, he actively supports community-driven art initiatives. He organized and curated Rozptyl (2023) in Bratislava, a large-scale collective exhibition bringing together over 150 artists from more than ten EU countries with minimal funding.
Through sound, space, and collaboration, Hronský encourages openness, care, and shared creativity over competition.
