He also played with DG 307 in the late 1970s and again since the 1990s. In 2001, after Milan Hlavsa's death, he joined The Plastic People of the Universe along with Eva Turnová, the second bass player, initially as a guest musician, later as a full member.[4] He is featured on their reunion album Líně s tebou spím / Lazy Love (2001).

He is also involved in the dramaturgy of several music festivals, including Opera Nova. In 2021, he was the curator of the Electronic Music Minimarathon at the Ostrava Days festival.[6]
