Verlag Verlag | Petra Hermanova & Reece Cox

An evening radio show hosted by Berlin-based label Verlag. The musical intention is to bring together different worlds; from experimental to ambient, from academic to deconstructed electronic and so on, to have a contrast by bringing in artists from different backgrounds, but which feel interesting together. A casual but music-driven hang out.

Petra Hermanova is a singer and composer working with the autoharp, voice and pipe organ. Her debut album In Death’s Eyes (2023), which drifts between song and heavy distorted drones, received international acclaim and several award nominations including the Czech Grammy. Since 2023 she has performed extensively solo and with ensembles in churches, contemporary art venues, monuments, and theatres, including Volksbühne (DE), Gropius Bau (DE), Der Aa-kerk (NL), Bergen Cathedral (NO), Völkerschlachtdenkmal (DE), Graz Mausoleum (AT), and numerous music festivals such as Lunchmeat (CZ), CTM (DE), and Romaeuropa (IT). She recently composed music for the documentary film Lapilli, which premiered at the Karlovy Vary IFF. In 2024 she was a resident of SHAPE+ Platform.
