Concert-Hall Brno
Špondrová, Hana ; Šrubař, Pavel (referee) ; Odvárka, Antonín (advisor)
This study addresses the design of a new cultural center in the Moravian Square – a polyfunctional object with a great concert hall, a small multifunctional hall with operating and technical facilities, parking, customer services for visitors, and areas for employees and musicians. Also, a restaurant & cafe is a part of this proposed project. New space replaces the unsatisfactory conditions of the current residence of Brno Filharmony in Besední dům – too small, unsatisfactory acoustics, and complicated operation. The cultural center, also, serves as a congress center that is currently missing in Brno - a city of trade fairs and exhibitions. The proposition respects the existing character of the park. The capacity of the new proposed design is from three-quarters underground, and therefore makes a way (nebo „space“) for greenery and pedestrians. The designed object consists of one ground and two underground levels. It has a simple shape with a greenery roof, and is incorporated into the existing spaces of the square. The distinctive element of the design is an open outside atrium in the first underground level. The facase is covered with boards (nebo „panels“) made out of Corian® material in a white shade of Glacier White in contrast to glass windows. The supporting construction is designed from monolithic iron concrete.

Muscle activity analysis during the violoncello play
Kasanová, Barbora ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Tlapáková, Eva (referee)
Title: Muscle activity analysis during the violoncello play Objectives: This thesis focuses on analysing and comparing specific back muscles of a bowing violoncellist. The findings can help understanding pathologic mechanisms and back pain caused by violoncello playing. It may be useful in choosing suitable preventive compensatory exercise as well and for future research. Eventually, the analysis could be applied in playing ergonomics and designing a proper seat. The thesis also aims on evaluating suitability of the chosen measuring method in this branch. Methods: The theoretical part reviews contemporary knowledge about musculoskeletal system disorders linked with violoncello playing. The practical part aims on evaluating data obtained from 3D kinematic analysis and surface EMG of specific back muscles of professional violoncello player during playing. Several conditions are assessed. Results: The experiment has shown that when playing a violoncello there is an asymmetric loading of the back muscles. Loading of specific muscles has is affected by way of bowing, string location and the seat. The experiment was done on a single proband, so these conclusions may not be generally valid. Keywords: violoncello playing, musicians, surface electromyography, 3d kinematic analysis, violoncellists' diseases,...

Olišarová, Pavlína ; Šejvl, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kulhánek, Adam (referee)
Introduction: Addictive substances among musicians is a common occurrence. However, this phenomenon is mostly described only by the musicians themselves in their autobiographies. There is little professional work to address this phenomenon. There are many factors that affect musicians and lead them to use addictive substances. Even though this phenomenon is so widespread, it is taken for granted and few pay attention to it. Aim: Aim of thesis is to identify and describe patterns of substance use in active musicians in music groups that are based in the Benešov region, but play outside this area too. Methodology Data were collected in the form of a semi-structured interview. A list of music groups was created using the bandzone website. These groups were then found on Facebook to find out their activity. They were also subsequently approached here. 9 researched musicians took part in the research. Responses from the interviews were recorded directly by hand. Overwrite was performed while data was being written. Subsequently, the data were analyzed by elements of grounded theory. Using open coding, the codes were assigned to important topics in the text. These topics were grouped using axial coding. Using these categories, patterns of substance use among active musicians in music groups based in the...

Hrdlička, Daniel ; Máchová, Eva (advisor) ; Koudelková, Petra (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Communication of the release of a musical album on social networks" deals, as the title itself suggests, with the issue of communication of musicians on social networks at the time of the release of their new album. For the purposes of the work, the author has chosen the most relevant social media for musicians - Facebook and Instagram. The theoretical part deals with two themes. The first is marketing communication - its definition, basic principles and description of the communication mix. One of the chapters gives an insight into the specifics of communication in the sphere of musical performers. The second theme of the theoretical part of this work is social networks. Besides definition and history, the author also focuses on their communication specialities, and in detail discusses two of the above-mentioned social networks. The practical part is divided into three chapters. The first of them deals with the general characteristics of three selected artists who released a new musical album in 2018. The fourth chapter overall analyzes their communication on Facebook and Instagram at the time of its release. The fifth chapter compares and summarizes analyzed communications. The aim of this work is to find out how musicians should optimally communicate on social networks at...
