Vratislav Brabenec is a Czech musician and founding member of The Plastic People of the Universe, the influential experimental rock band that emerged from Prague's underground scene in the 1970s. As a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist, Brabenec contributed to the group's avant-garde sound, blending jazz, rock, and electronic elements that pushed against the constraints of the era.
With The Plastic People, Brabenec helped establish a unique artistic vision that bridged experimental music and underground culture in Central Europe. The band's innovative approach to composition and live performance continues to influence electronic and experimental musicians across the continent.
