Instead of notes, there are many words and images.

“Neslýchané” is the new studio album of rock songs on a CD accompanied by a DVD which contains older songs by Traband. These songs are translated to Czech sign language by the Czech Chamber of Sign Language Interpreters and recorded as video clips.

Although the previous album called Domasa was released a year ago, the new album is different in many ways. Nature poetry goes aside; the album is conceived as a collection of human stories. The CD contains an intro plus eleven songs. Some of them are already well known from concerts (Stone in a shoe, Princess Lada, Listener from Prague), some of them are yet unheard (Such a Woman, Such a Man, Romeo and Juliet after Ten Years, Deža Knows). Rock songwriting is supported by a stronger guitar and weaker “organ” sound which is dominant e.g. in Man’s Friend (more information about the CD bellow).

The second disc is a DVD which is unique in Europe. This is a music DVD in the Czech sign language, a language of Czech deaf people. This DVD is not only for them, though, it is for everyone interested in sign languages. Thanks to this DVD, both the deaf and those who can hear properly are able to enjoy the musical experience together. The cameraman and director of this project Zeno Václavík took charge of a difficult task of interpreting the songs of Traband visually, choreographically and in an attractive way for regular listener and at the same time in a way that would be comprehensible to the deaf. Under his direction, translators from the professional organization, the Czech Chamber of Sign Language Interpreters, interpret songs from three older albums (Hyjé!, Přítel člověka, Domasa) and also the song “My Teachers“ from the last album Neslýchané. Altogether, it is twelve videos of the total length of more than forty minutes (more information about the DVD bellow).
