Bagpipe music has the evening filled with a special atmosphere. In this program, besides making the most of this instrument, we also reframe the Hungarian folk music, the vocal and instrumental tunes of the Balkan and our own ideas; likewise wind bands, string bands, tamboura bands and zither bands did with many-many melodies in the past centuries.

In our case, the new frame involves a violinist and a bassist from a string band, a guitarist from a tamboura band, a saxophonist and a percussionist from a wind band and a bagpipe-player, who is the preserver of the old style of play. Our music is a mixture which floats between the Earth and the Soul with its modern rhythm, old tunes and throbbing dynamics.: WORLD MUSIC.

Either we'll move among the seats or the audience will come on stage, I usually tell myself before concerts and suddenly time seems to have stopped: we are playing music. After playing for a while, we always ask our audience to take their choice if we should play our old pieces or we should perform some of our experimental compositions. Our music is ethno-jazz, that is a kind of free-jazz or world music inspired by folk music. This, however, is not important! We would not be happy if we were put in a pigeon-hole. In each of our compositions there are motifs by which our pieces might be put in any category.

Let me give you an example: a folk song not only belongs to an ethnic group but also to the informant, and a piece of classical music belongs to its composer. Listening to our music, the listener associates it with the agostones. Our pieces are not finalized, the final version can be created with the influence of both our performances and the reaction of our audience.

David Lynch-like vibes at the musical sources of the Balkan and the Carpathians.
