MATTE: You have said elsewhere that Uz Jsme Doma are three things: music, words, and visuals. How do these three elements work together?
WANEK: These three things are all just the instruments, the ways to talk. But "the heart" is what is said, or what is attempted. Each instrument has its benefits or drawbacks. Visual art shows the form and colors-it evokes your visual experience. In the confrontation between the painter's visual experience and your visual experience is the tension and dialogue. What is a problematic about visual art is that form usually evokes some entity. That's why modern art tended to abstraction; painters wanted to break that causality and add their own imagination and message. Of course, at that time it started to be impenetrable for many people. Martin Velisek uses some combination of both methods. His pictures are both concrete and abstract, and I like that.
Words, lyrics, poetry-those in my opinion are the most difficult art because you have almost no chance to use abstract words. Each one has its concrete and relatively common meaning. The only way to say something from behind those meanings is in combination, in the order of how you create. At the same time, words are agreements between groups of people. This particular word means some particular thing, but of course each person could have different experiences with usage of that word in different situations connected to very specific happenings in their life. I am not even talking about translations. To write poetry is really to make a snowball from fire.
Music is a space, it's coming from different dimension. It's fully abstract, with no connection to any visual or verbal experience. It's spiritual, metaphysical and of course many times again impenetrable.
I like to use a combination of all these three methods as an instrument for my message. What is a mistake from a lot of critics and audiences is to feel Uz Jsme Doma primarily as a music band. I never really intended that combination: I never wanted to be either musician or poet, but I had something to say and these three things seemed to be a good method of saying it to more people.
