About Me

Musician, poet, libertine, voice of the band KOFE-IN
A person involved in a wide range of art-related activities. His debut in literature, the collection of poems Hichaikum (2004), gave name to a “slam poetry” project in which literature meets music in an original way. In 2007 he published Po tme chut (Taste After Dark), a collection of three texts with a darker atmosphere signalling the poetics of his upcoming book (to be published in early 2008).
Jan sings and writes lyrics for KOFE-IN, a band that craftfully blends electronica with alternative rock and jazz. The band was founded in early 2006 and consists of musicians with rich music experience across various genres and styles. The result is an original, highly infectious fusion of electronic loops, catchy arpeggios, clever melodies, rock progressions and jazz solos. All this is energetically driven forward by live drums doubled with dirty electronic beats.
As an actor and singer Jan cooperated with the Ostrava-based classical music composer Pavel Helebrand on the plays Carodejnice z Babí hury and Ngoa-É, performed in the Antonín Dvorák Theatre in Ostrava and at the Janáckovy Hukvaldy festival.
You can see Jan in concert with KOFE-IN, performing “slam poetry” with his Hichaikum project, in hallucinative performance Hubitel or giving author readings on his own. More often than not he collaborates with other artists on various interesting projects.
