The Magical Sounds of the Bohemian Cristal Instrument | Lenka Morávková | TEDxUCR

You’ve never seen an instrument or heard sounds like this. Lenka Morávková spins a beautiful story about her journey with her glass beast and mixes acoustic, voice and electronic sounds to create an unexpected soundscape at the edge of movie score and pulsing dance music. MORE INFO and SUBSCRIBE @ In 2012, Lenka Morávková designed the first large vertical and colored après Cristal Baschet (named Bohemian Cristal) instrument in the Czech Republic and assisted Spanish artist Martí Ruiz of the Metalúdic Baschet Collective in the construction of the instrument for a performance at the International Glass Symposium in Nový Bor (CZ). Lenka was awarded a funding to ship the instrument to USA and was given a Gluck stipend at University California Riverside, where is she currently pursuing her doctoral degree in Digital Composition and Ethnomusicology. She performs and does workshops in Europe and USA. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
