The poems of Ivan Martin Jirous, in which hyenas, jackals and werewolves appear alongside angels and the Virgin Mary, were set to music by Tomáš Šenkýřík over a period of 15 years.
“I brought a recording to Magor (Jirous) in Prostřední Vydří, but he wasn’t home so I placed it on the window ledge. About two years later I met Magor at Roxy and he spoke enthusiastically about how I had put it to music. I was euphoric about it.” After several more meetings Jirous gave Šenkýřík permission to put any of his poems to music. The album I vši, which came out on the Indies label in August 2014, contains 14 pieces produced by Tomáš Vtípil.
