dióbél Spr-26 / Eszelős meszelős: Légbegyökerezve
12" LP

On the one hand, we have a part of us that we use to be on earth: we can easily move it to another place. And there is a part of us that is rooted in the air, that stays with us even if our earthly roots are already taken elsewhere. From this air-rooted part of us, the heavenly and earthly extensions of others can sprout.

The material of the Légbegyökerezve (Rooted in the Air) LP is created in 2022-23 during improvisations. In these, Eszelős meszelős (Balázs Kovács) used physically modeled instruments, looking both for their border areas and failures, as well as new possibilities for finding the equality of dissonance and consonance. By creating the musical processes and moods, he tried to observe the functioning of algorithms and incorporate them into non-algorithmic musical performances, thereby making humanity the carrier of mechanicalness. For this reason, there are signs and stuckness in them that strive for mechanical roots, its outright humanization, supplemented by general human performing errors. Compared to the previous ones (specially the Erdősáv-dalok from 2022) is also a novelty that he also worked with humanoids on two recordings: they accompanied the machine vocals.
The cover is designed by illustration artist Roxána Kubik. The vinyls are labelled with unique stickers, and will be published in 10 copies. The release is available also on spaceship USB-stick.
