N.E.B.O.:
PS: I love me.
The project N.E.B.O. (Never expire band originality) is the work of vibraphonist, composer Juraj Raši. The compositional intention, bordering between classical and jazz music, is not only to point out the uniqueness of this connection, but also to remind how important the power of silence and peace is in music (and in life). The musical nature of the works attempts to interpret concepts such as Silence, Mother, Music and to give an opportunity to reflect on them …..
N.E.B.O.’s musical work is instrumentally contributed by:
- Michal Šelep / basgitara
- Daniel Špiner / klavír
- Dominika Debnárová / spev
- Zsolt Szitási / elektrická gitara
- Juraj David Raši / bicie nástroje, vibrafón, kompozície & aranžmán

Black Swan
The band’s debut album Black Swan will be released in November 2020. It contains commissioned compositions by contemporary Slovak composers. The younger authors include Lucia Papanetzová Michal Stahl and Vlado Šarišský, who have written for the ensemble in the past. The renowned, internationally respected composer Egon Krák wrote his first work for the group. The album thus brings the composers’ diverse compositional handwriting and generational perspective.
The assignment for the composers was inspired by the book Black Swan. In it, author Nassim Thaleba describes an unpredictable event and its far-reaching consequences. Is the current pandemic such an event or was it foreseeable? Nassim Thaleb points out that the covida crisis is not a Black Swan, it was predictable, governments with millions in subsidies are putting out a fire that could have been averted at much lower cost. The album encourages, through the means of contemporary classical music, reflection on this situation.
