Alvik é um projecto sediado em Praga e constituido por cinco elementos. Anya responsável pelas vozes, Tio pela percursão, Radimon encarrega-se das flautas e syntetizador, M. Zepak no baixo e Mishan no sintetizador, nas guitarras e no rhodes. Com uma sonoridade orgânica que junta electrónicas a instrumentos, o grupo apresenta um electro-jazz, downtempo, lounge com nuances de drum and bass. Um som relaxante com uma presença quase constante de flautas melódicas e de teclados.Consta no myspace da banda o seguinte:
"Founded in 2001 in Prague, Czech Republic, Alvik has become a driving force behind the best sounds resonating in Europe today. Alvik was built on their performances in Prague'ss smaller jazz clubs before graduating to larger halls, playing across Europe and touring the Czech Republic and the United States . With this growth the group's sound has evolved into its present form with a style which is as easy to listen to as it is hard to define.
Alvik is the perfection of elements brought by each of its members: front singer and songwriter-singer Anya Stuart, who has helped the band cross into the international scene with her North American roots; Bharata Rajnosek, hornman who cuts between sax, flute and trumpet; Petr Tichy, compelling stand-up bass player, Mishan Pajdiak on drums and samples from Prague and Audun Nedrelid, with his Norweigian fingers gracing the keyboard.
Together, Alvik breathes a new kind of jazz that transgresses a wide variety of styles and tempos from abstract hip-hop to broken beats to drum and bass and Latin rhythms."
Em 2004 lançaram Breathing geometry e já este ano saiu os seu segundo LP, Forms apart. Deixo aqui o tema Crawling, extraído do seu primeiro álbum.
