“He lets the music flow through him and does not delimit it to specific genres. Maok is open, free, living and creating in the present.”<\/h4>\n

MARTIN “MAOK” TES\u00c1K<\/h1>\n

He was born in Bratislava\u00a0in 1974.\u00a0He\u00b4s got three children and now living in Bratislava again.<\/p>\n

Maok’s music heals and inspires.
\nHe plays at concerts, does music therapy, composes music for theatre, for dance production, illustrations and film music. When he gets on the stage, he has no idea what he’s going to play,\u00a0as being a\u00a0true hearted improviser. Doing music for music itself, it comes straight from his heart, and he lets it flow free, whatever comes. At some point he plays also some slovak folk music style.<\/p>\n

\"maok\"<\/p>\n

Maok<\/strong> is a musician, improviser, multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer. But above all, he is a person for whom music is an inseparable part of his life and the most distinct form of his self-expression.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0His unique style\u00a0– dreamlike and sometimes even mystical\u00a0– is instantly recognisable even when you\u2019ve never heard the piece before.<\/p>\n

Commenting on his music, Maok reveals: \u201cTo me, music is an expression of freedom and love. A way of conveying the wonder that a moment of creativity brings. That\u2019s when beauty is born – beauty that can mesmerize us and open the door into the colourful and ever changing realms of our Soul. Or that can put a stop to all movement, leaving us to dissolve in that single place where emptiness is full – and which is simultaneously the pupil of our eyes. Beauty that can make us feel the pulsating ecstasy of a Heart on fire. Or that can make us embark on a journey of dance and movement, where we are at one with our body and its inner rhythms. Or we just take a nice little nap.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maok in team work with editorship Zebra and Cloud:
\n<\/strong>Maok<\/span>: “My biggest priority in terms of music is freedom. Freedom in every way. That is why during my entire 20 year-long musical journey, I refused to sign contracts with music publishing houses that would set all kinds of terms and conditions, tying my hands and legs with masses of obligations and interdictions that basically turn a musician into a puppet.
\nThen one day I met Petr Rokusek and his music publishing house Zebra and Cloud. It\u2019s a whole different world to the one I knew before. Our collaboration is based on new terms, where the greatest significance is placed on one\u2019s word and complete mutual trust. Trust in the fact that no one will do anything at the expense of others in order to gain advantages for themselves. Everything is open, the laws that govern things around here are those of humanness. We\u2019re setting out in a new direction. A direction that has new rules. Rules that we all long to live by somewhere inside, but are stopped in our tracks by fear. That is why I immensely appreciate our collaboration and believe that, together, we will gradually unearth the mystery of the \u201cNew World.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
