Vladimír Hirsch is a Czech composer, instrumentalist and sound experimenter, integrating modern classical, industrial and dark ambient music with a genre overlap conception. Besides creating solo works, he is the leading personality of bands and projects Skrol, Aghiatrias, Zygote (CZ), Luminar Ax, Subpop Squeeze, and Tiria. He was a member (keyboard player and vocalist) of experimental post-punk group Der Marabu (1986-95). His style is characterized by polymodal architectonics and the usage of digital technique to enhance sonic means of expression, where modern classical elements fuse within a dark experimental soundscape.

Skrol is a martial industrial-neoclassical band, formed in 1995. It consists of composer and keyboard player Vladimír Hirsch, singer Martina Sanollová and a non performing members, Tom Saivon, who provides noise structures and lyrics. The music is based on integration of neoclassical compositional principles into industrial structures, with heavy rhythms, symphonic arrangement of electronics, classical organ, strings and brasses. Ecstatic and igneous expression of the singer crowns intense atmosphere and original musical language of the band.
