Info for Why the wings?

After the sometimes very densely woven musical sound fabrics and musical structures created with electronic instruments that characterised my previous albums, I turned to reduction, in order to express the same thing with the fewest and most natural means, yet with the least loss. The result of this creative endeavour was the album Why the wings. I have removed the virtual spaces from the music, letting go of chanting echoes, even noises that become music, or any form of rhythm section. Instead, there is silence and only one space, the real one. The space in which the sounds were born, as they sounded at the moment of recording. In the centre of Budapest, in the church of the Bartók Béla Unitarian Parish. (Veni)

This space echoed the sound of his own organ, Veronika Szász's singing and Péter Cseh's guitar playing, and it is the memory of this music-making that is immortalised on this album. In its original and purest form, it preserves the moment manifested as sound and shows how they interacted there, leaving the silence, condensing into music and returning to the silence.
