ZZZ / DUNYHA
In March, Ilka Kisgyörgy is the curator of ZZZ.
The singer is particularly interested in the vocal culture of Hungary and its surrounding peoples.
The framework of her curatorial programme is the meeting of folk music and experimental music, her aim is to put authentic folk music under the microscope and to break it down into its elements. In a process that spans three events, vocals, electronics and folk instruments meet doom, free jazz and avant-garde musical inspirations.

Transylvanian-born Ilka Kisgyörgy's international formation features melodies from the Mediterranean - Magyarszovát and Buza - in an unconventional line-up.
Ilka has assigned the role of main melody instrument to Macedonian bassist Deni Omeragić. Californian trombonist Christopher Robin Cox and Lithuanian-Australian clarinetist David Karla provide the deeper harmonies. Equally at home in avant-jazz and folk music, Áron Porteleki's drumming evokes both the density of folk strings and the ferocity of punk. The composition is special not only because of the instrumentation: through the mediation of members from outside the Hungarian folk tradition, we can look at it from a distance, but at the same time get a more intense insight into this world. Ilka Kisgyörgy's interpretation of military and funeral songs, themes of forbidden love and obedience to parents, transposed into the world of doom metal, dark ambient and free improvisation, connects us with the imprints of our inherited destiny.
