De Moi
Taking random notes and rubbing them together.
Vojtech Vesely (De Moi) is a Czech musician and sound artist, whose work with long decaying tones has been central to the development of the Drifting Intervals concept.
Born in South Moravia, Czechia, Vesely's musical journey was significantly influenced by a diverse array of musical philosophies and techniques. Drawing inspiration from the works of avant-garde composers like La Monte Young and experimental pioneers such as Terry Riley, Robert Fripp, and Pauline Olivieros, Vesely delved into the realms of drones, tape loops, and deep reverberation. This exploration culminated in the development of his concept known as Drifting Intervals—a technique characterized by the gradual fusion of multiple tones or intervals, creating a cohesive ambient texture. To illustrate the core principle of Drifting Intervals, Vesely suggests imagining random notes being slowly blended together, like rubbing different colors of paint until they merge into a new shade.

His compositions have been featured on platforms like CalmApp and SoundMindApp. His installation 'The Quint' was exhibited in Nevada City, California in 2023, reflecting his connection to experimental music communities.Vesely also conducts sound design workshops at events including the Youtopia Digital Culture Festival in Trnava, Slovakia, and the Czech music festival Meziprostor.
