When the spring landscape zooms past your eyes behind the windows of a train, anything can come into your mind. Why not a title song to a new album? That’s exactly what happened to Amálka K. Třebická, composer, songwriter, pianist and interpreter. In the new record called “Za okny rychlíku“ we can find personal testimony in the form of fourteen songs on the edge of chanson, jazz and avant-garde.

The album is very personal, as Amálka K. Třebická confirms: “The lyrics are a testimony of my reality – of my experienced vision of the world. The only intention was to capture this as precisely as possible.“


Just like the lyrics, the music very personal as well; it is a reflection of musical perception of Amálka’s world. “Everything what I do is a matter of hearts. I grew up listening to jazz and chanson, that’s why I kind of tend in that direction, although I studied the classical composition.”

The album "Za okny rychlíku" was recorded in Střelice recording studio, part of it in Brno Studio Indies. The resulting sound of the album is the personal and musical teamwork of Amálka and her drummer and co-author of arrangements Vladimír Třebický, whose voice can be heard in several songs on the recording and they acquire new di.......
