Child of the Wind (Dítě z větru) is the first solo album by Vojta Nýdl, clarinetist, singer, composer and lyricist, best known as a founding member of Clarinet Factory. Vojta Nýdl created the album in collaboration with the producer, pianist and composer Beata Hlavenková with whom he previously met in the Eternal Seekers band, on the occasion of the recording of the eponymous album, together with other members of Clarinet Factory and Lenka Dusilová who received the Czech Music Academy Award for it. The present album is inspired by a personal story of a premature and very dramatic birth of Vojta’s second child. Child of the Wind comprises songs authored by Vojta Nýdl, some of them written in collaboration with Beata Hlavenková, Tamara Borovková and Jana Ivanovič Infeldová, and one song is based on a poem by Bohuslav Reynek. The guests on this album are pianist Eva Hutyrová, drummer Daniel Šoltis, double bassist Rastislav Uhrík, and members of Clarinet Factory and Epoque Quartet.
