8th track from the first EP album Kolea: http://teve1.bandcamp.com TEVE is electro-acustic duo from Czech Rep. Since 2010 formed by graduates of Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno, Antonín Koutný (guitar, vocals, samples) and Veronika Vlková (voice, glockenspiel, flutes, kazoo.. ) Used to play with meotar projections, nowdays are accompanied by Vj kolouch live animations. Their first show under the name To Nic Cute in Bratislava (Slovakia) was at Multiplace festival, where they shared stage with Midi Lidi, it was in the 2006. There was the time of looking for identity, where they performed under different names, (Zahraniční zpěvák, Casino Etoy, Milenci z kiosku.. ) Since 2010 they are known under the name TEVE, began to play more frequently and was focused on by musical blogosphere (Landart Magazine), thanks to social networks. As a first digital release was cover of Depilation song by Kazety, they contributed on remix compilation "SOCIAL REMIX HAPPENING". During the year 2011 they passed many concerts all over the Czech country, as support for danisch band Efterklang etc. They were invited on Berlin Music Week - ICAS Suite, as a Sperm Festival Showcase at club West Germany in Berlin, (together with Table a Popper C). In early 2011 they contributed by two songs on CD compilation "PONAVKA SOUND", as insert in Zivel magazine. They were nominated on Vinyla price 2011 in category Discovery of the Year. In 2011 they composed music for featured film about deaf children HOLOUBCI (dir. Zuzana Dubová), that is dedicated to deaf people too. In 2012 TEVE contributed on "DADA-ACTA" compilation against controversary agreement ACTA. Since 2012 they started to collaborate with violoncellist Kateřina Koutná (Hope Astronaut). TEVE makes gigs on art vernisages too. In that case it are not typicall songs they use to play on concerts, but more continuously half improvised performance with preordered samples and intuitive sound manipulations with them. Visually there are drawings by Veronika Vlková live animated by Vj Kolouch s geometrical abstractions. That was the way of performance at Lunchmeat festival in Prague as a support of british producer Kode9. They released first EP album Kolea at spring of 2013 as soundtrack of that kind of performances.
