This is my proposition to continue artist exchange and
collaborating enviroment from the “Sans Plomb” location into a new
space provided by the municipality of Ivry sur Seine.
I am running non for profit association that accomodates and
facilitates visual and sound artistic exchange in Ivry sur
Seine .Our goal is to allow independent filmakers and
musicians,composers and producers to come to Ivry and produce new
exiting works of art while away from their ussual enviroments .
This allows our collective to collaborate with artist from around
the world without he restraines of material and finances .

Nationalité: Tchèque
Né le: 18 avril 1969
Graduated from elementary music school in 1983
Study conservatory in Teplice ,Czech republic 1983- 1987
Project name KOONDA HOLAA (aka Kamilsky)
Kamilsky aka Kamil Kruta
Born in the late 60's in Czechoslovakia in what was soon to be one
of the most polluted spots on earth,(Spin magazine, Dec.97 in
"Exposure" referred to it as
the Black Triangle, the largest polluted space in Europe) Kamilsky
walked through his grandma's attic attached to a microphone and
straight to music school at the age of five which spewed him out
13 years later as an over-trained folk singer who spent his
frustration on crafting protest songs. They certainly weren't the
ones that changed the regime in 1989 a year that saw Kamilsky
patiently learning gypsy songs in jail for destroying a public
statue of the first czech communist leader.
Back in 1986 Kamilsky became a member of the notoriously known
punk band F.P.B. which would go eventually on to sell out two
back-to-back monthly concerts (for 2000+ people)that were
nevertheless completely illegal because the band didn't obtain
party permit to perform. With the borders open in 1990 Kamilsky
left the newly formed Czech Republic for Germany, first Nuremberg,
then Munich where he formed together with FPB drummer Milan Novy
"Illegal Immigration", an anarchist (free improv) musical commando
that later evolved into Pseudo Pseudo, a two-man moon unit with
little experience but unrepressed skills. The first record came in
1992 and was named "Boucher Voyager" as a dedication to the
"traveling butchers of the so-called reality". This record was
released in 1996 on Globus records, Czech Republic.
In 1992 Kamilsky moved to Los Angeles and resided in California
for the next three years. The first incarnation of Track Brack
studios opens on Landa lane in LA and this brought him the
pleasure of working from 1992-95 with some excellent assassins of
mass mediocrity culture, namely Linda Sibio, Jim Cert, Lukas
Ligeti, Exene Cervenka and Lydia Lunch, all of whom he has
released material with.
Ironically Kamilsky developed his unique live skills in the studio
(in 1994 as the front-of-the-house sound engineer at Spaceland,
Los Angeles for Beck, That Dog,1000 Mona Lisas, etc) doing
production, post-production and soundtrack work for videos and
theater including material released on Exene Cervenka's "Surface
to Air Serpents" and Kamilsky's own collection of soundtracks
entitled "Crippled
Children Society". In 1995 Kamilsky and Tracy Reinstein, his then
manager/wife, directed and composed for an 11 person orchestra,
another Pseudo Pseudo production this time in the exile of San
Francisco, releasing a live recording from Slim's entitled "In
Winter Go South".
The same year Kamilsky's never dreamed wish came through as he was
offered the opportunity to play bass for The Residents in 20 soldout
performances of
"Freak Show Live", at Archa theater in Prague. By the end of the
year Kamilsky joined the infamous Czech band and U.S. touring
phenomenon Uz Jsme Doma and
played bass in about 80 performances in 6 months all over Europe
and the U.S.
In August 1996 he returned back to his hometown to form another
version of Pseudo Pseudo and to work with his original home town
boys Milan Novy and Radovan "Nikita Boy" Curak Kokot Santrucek
Uhlir(of F.P.B. and Pseudo Pseudo) for about 30 gigs and a single
"Surrounded by Bulgarians" that was
recorded and released in February 1997. In the following months he
records live with Lydia Lunch in Palace Acropolis, Prague for
"Matrikamantra" a double
cd released October 1997 on Figurehead/Atavistic Records featuring
Joe Budenholzer (Foetus, Backworld) as the composer and keyboard
player and Kamilsky on bass, vocals and (very special) effects.
Kamilsky moved back to California in April 1997 to recuperate in
Laguna Beach for 3 months (at the "Church of JOE") before moving
to Orlando, home of
Figurehead Records, to work on new material with Lydia Lunch for
her upcoming tour. Challenging the cultural shocks by touring with
Death in June (front of the house engineer) and spending the
"lean" time recording the future with the talented,always overseen
people of Orlando in his own freshly reopened "Track Brack"
Orlando studio.
In 1997 Koonda Holaa and the Beetchees became Kamilsky's new
vehicle,after his full immigration to the US and the following
void of old friends and habits,
Kamilsky began breathing life into the demented characters who
abound in the lyrics of Koonda Holaa and the Beetchees. Koonda's
debut, "Cocky Cuties" made a bold new exploration into sound, with
multitudes of samples inter-playing as a
foundation for tales of the drug addict, the super-hero, the
unemployed priest..all of whom see life through a paranoid
kaleidoscope of worthless data.
In 1999 armed with the self designed Track Brack mobile pro tools
studio, Kamilsky, along with Czech comrades olda and Milan ,
descended into the bowels of the Starcraft. A hulking RV, which
provided a mobile headquarters for the band and track brack studio
activities, over the course of 16 months of intensive touring and
recording The Cocky Cuties live presentation was rooted in
multimedia splendor as photo shop cropped pornography
intermingled with full 5.1 Surround Sound.
Koonda Holaa and the Beetchees Starcraft incarnation ironically
ends with a lame-ass show at the burning man festival 2001 where
Milan and Olda followed Kamilsky for his sickly love affair with
Gwars Slymenstra Hymen Continuing on his own, the self-proclaimed
Captain Cunt, exiled himself to the south cali high desert to find
new inspiration. While enjoying the hospitality of Mr. Hutch and
Dave Catchings at the Rancho -home of the Desert sessions ,
Kamilsky began developing his new repertoire and regrouping with
Radon. The subsequent transformation conjured Jamil abdul Kebab,
who would shed the once dominant sampling,in favor of thundering,
effect soaked percussion and
cavernous, haunting vocals.The Deserted werks with Erno Sedivydrummer
from the Czech cult band "Flamingo"would be recorded from
the Starcraft on its trusty pro tools set up at the rancho as well
and then The Starcraft would come to dock at Kamilsky's freshly
purchased 10 acres of 6000 ft elevation high desert land in the
Burns canyon of off San Bernardino mountain range.
This middle of nowhere environment would prove fruitful to both
work and his volatile sanity. Though off the tour/war path, this
time was anything, but a vacation. A slew of high end production
work for Track Brack this time located in Knitting factory on
hollywood blvd would force Kamilsky to bear witness to the horrors
of the Los Angeles entertainment industry, as he manned the mixing
council at the Knitting Factory Hollywood, UCLAs Royce Hall and tv
shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.
The resulting vomits of "Methods and Techniques of 21st Century
Music", was the supreme culmination of these Hollywood-induced
electro perversions.While in Hollywood kamilsky mixes and
coproduces(together with Bob Belerue of half normal) the bastard
noise/sikhara recording which is patiently waiting in the masters
bin to become legendary for its sonic voluptiousness and gourmet
blend of frequencies.
While there was a many great encounters in the beginning of 2003
with the noise crowd in L.A. and there was the 3rd extended
bonding session that kamilsky and Scott Nyedeger from Radon went
through at the land in Burns canyon,there was the desert Jams with
Henry from the amps for christ,and nelson from Bastard Noise and
Berry from Aliens and thee ultimate way to say fuck you to the
posers back in hollywood - USAISAMONSTER march 2003 Joshua Tree
recording which was entirely tracked,mixed and mastered between
two trailers,honda generator and pro tools on the land miles away
from the psychic vampires of LA, these were still very taxing
times.
After loosing his van to the parking officers,almost loosing his
dog to cancer and his mind to the excess stress caused by
underpaid jobs,abstract bills and 2.5 hour long commute to LA
Kamilsky hears the calling of his homeland in the desert wind and
sees a fat indian boy in his vision. this surreal situation is
accompanied by warmongering and the real time telecasts from the
bombing of IRAQ .It was time to go to childhood bar back in his
hometown to confer with the elders.Quick stop in Paris with joints
in the subway and squat in appropriately named part of town "vile
de jeuv",touch of hands with Ripit and Scott Nyedeger,Samboat and
then kamilsky joyrides homes after 6 years of self-imposed exile
on a all-night bus line to Prague where not even all pink floyd
albums played at absurdly high level combined could destroy his
glorious homecoming queen ceremony.
He spent the summer of 2003 in a circus trailer that was towed to
the garden of his parents,with his sound-mentor Colin Steward -
recording silly songs and also eating the sausages straight from
the trees with his viking lover.There in the garden,where carpet
was munched on like it was a heavenly gulasch Kamilsky comes back
full circle and starts again playing guitar and his favorite
childhood protestsongs.
In july 2003 he travels to poland to headline LUNa Palleta
festival in Salesia and plays "reunion for what?!" show with Milan
and Olda. After family matters takes him to Orlando Florida again
the "Sad and sobbing songs of Jamell abdul Kebab production is in
full gear and results april 2004 in 7 weeks long tour all over the
united states and some girl t shirt. touring in the faithful green
turbodiesel benz he together with USAISAMONSTER and child sex
abuse victim Corndog ,and the pleasant likes of Eric and
Marielisa of Vialka goes from east coast to the west and back
playing 40 shows and the quintessential free texas festival in
winston Salem.
In july 2004 he again plays hosts of shows in Poland and travels
to Karpatia mountains to consult with a oracle.
This trip finds its glorious ending in Portugal where he plays to
sold out houses with Steve Mackay,Scott Nyedeger and the local
talents. After kamilsky goes through three consecutive hurricanes
in Orlando that summer upon its return ,he plays and records with
radon orchestra at wmfu and the tonic ( out on OBICO Italy)and
sits in with the Violent Femmes in october after 34 hours of
straight driving from Orlando to Phoenix ,dumps his tranny
girlfriend and suffer the worst tour planning,car malfunctions and
general indifference the long awaited 2004 tour with Sikhara
becomes impossible to attend . Kamilsky ends up stranded on the
east coast and returns back to Orlando to narrowly escape being
killed by a red-light rider and just in time to get ready for the
January 2005 tour with Vialka and usaisamonster in europe.
The line of disasters dont end here like he would like it and
after missing the first week and half of the tour due to
theft,unfinnished car repairs,and general indifference kamilsky
joins the tour in a 20 years old Skoda at the show in Poznan and
then follows usaisamonster and the ever-balanced Vialka thru
europe for another four weeks .
Realizing that man earns his anal - not deserves it- Kamilsky
spent the rest of the year taking care of his financial affairs
and going thru old masters,dodging crazy puerto rican girlfriends
and making shure the glass dont stay half full.
the year 2006 - a 20 years marker on a road of "what doesn't kills
you- makes you stranger" is bringing many a fruits of odd passions
both in the touring fields and with releases.
