A collection of Bittová's collaborative work, showing her incredible skills at musical forms from Czech folk, RIO/experimental music including several pieces with percussionist Pavel Fajt, to a collaboration with Zimbabwe singer Stella Chiweshe. Bittová is an extraordinarily versatile and accomplished performer on violin and voice, and also as a composer, as this album well demonstrates. Cover art is by Bittová, and the booklet includes descriptions of each work by Bittová.
