about

Erdősáv-dalok (Forest belt-songs) is the 4th album of the Hungarian sound artist Balázs Kovács under the project name Eszelős Meszelős. The project looks for expressing the hungarian village reality, the emotional content of the people, the lost connections to nature and the coherence between organic lifeforms and experimental music.

The concept of the LP:
Forest belts are man-made natural formations usually in places where monocultural farming is not eco-nomical. Their role would ultimately be to protect the surrounding areas from water and wind erosion, but in fact they provide home for forest creatures that have lost their homes, including all real and unreal beings that we do not really tolerate in our own gardens and on our well-organized agricultures. The forest belts can thus carry a kind of subconscious, but even spiritual-physical tasks.
On this album, I have collected my songs inspired by the forest belts in the neighborhood. First I started humming them around and then trans-planting them into a musical struc-ture. The poems, written in Hungarian, on the following pages can be heard in the songs in a narrower or even conveyed sense (in quotation marks) or they were born from texts of a mental realm (in parentheses). .

"During the making of the Forest Belt songs, I changed my creative attitude so far. I was still thinking of humming-singing songs, but unlike before, I didn't make single or layered live recordings, but multi-track, post-editable and fine-tunable audio projects, transforming the possi-bilities of composition, but also facing the risk of losing a risky and one-time live performance. Therefore, I felt it was especially important to preserve their organicness by eliminating the previously common asynchrony and I kept the minor, random mistakes. I was also looking for new solutions for the sound, that's why my imaginary chamber or-chestra was formed, consisting of a canon choir consisting of vocals (AlterEgo vocal synthesizer), patterned and modeled instruments (mainly Modelonia and Sforzando wind instru-ments, Colliding Comb Synth and Spicy Guitar), and synthetic versions of my classical instruments (Korg Poly 800 and Volca FM)."
