Hungarian composer and musicologist László Hortobágyi, took his first expedition to North India in the late 1960's to record music, study philosophy and learn traditional instruments such as the rudra-vina, sitar, surbahar and tabla. These ongoing trips heavily influenced his musical style and much of his recorded work. LFI is happy to announce the reincarnation of one of his most illustrious works, Transreplica Meccano originally released by Hungaropop in 1988. 

As a child László fantasised about interacting with otherworldly muses and imploring them for the hope and guidance he yearned to escape the intellectual bareness of his surroundings. His early feelings of alienation combined with the almost sensual pleasure he remembers from these interactions, influenced and helped shape his life long musical journey.  In 1980 he established the musical society called Gáyan Uttejak Mandal. It was named after the Hindu-Moslem musician's society founded by Navraojí Kabrají in 1870 (it was the school of the great musicologist, V.N Bhátkhánde).
The society expanded throughout the 1980’s with an archive of oriental music, to be considered unique and unrivalled in Eastern Europe, which has operated parallel to the Gáyan Uttejak Studio and the Gáyan Uttejak Orchestra. The members have made it their duty to practice and study the world heritage of traditional cultures. 

The remastered and revised edition of Transreplica Meccano is reborn after 31 years.     László weaves a tapestry of sample based magic, transcribed from travels across the orient, transporting the listener to a fascinating world of archaic musicality. His sound palette is rebuilt and restructured using PCM morphology and FFT spectrum analysis as well as virtual overtone, processing synthesis software he developed in 1988. 
The new live program's repertoire is based on the classical Indian instrumental technique of the Gáyaki-Ang and the Tablá-tárang polyrhythmic structure and is mixed with his developed sound morphology of the granular systhesis technique according to his original 'computed memesis of music' concept. The result is an incredible amalgamation of musical worlds, allow yourself to be immersed in a truly unique dialect.

Figures / Ground (extracts - link in text)

This ‘Female Vocalists from Iran’ show, the 'Mey, Gher o Beshkan' mix, draws from a genre of modern Iranian music often referred to as ‘kooche-bazari’, which is roughly translated as ‘street and bazaar music’, also generally known to be the music of the people. 

This style of music is identified as evoking dance with the goblet drum, ‘zarb’, as a dominant sound-feature supporting the rhythmic movements of a ‘raqqas’ (dancer) performing the ‘gher’. In modern day Iran, ‘gher’ was known to be a solo style of dancing with an improvisational nature, shimmy-like movements of the shoulder, and a free flow rotation of the hips, with the latter having both a sexual and comedic effect. Often performed in a so-called cabaret space, which allowed for a direct performer-audience relationship with audiences uttering verbal reactions, a female performer enacted an unrestrained sexual character, geared towards the male gaze. The performers' movements were often accompanied by occasional intricate and sophisticated snapping of the fingers (beshkan).

The songs selected for this show range from having a 6/8 signature (upbeat) and slower melodies, explicit lyrics about drinking alcohol (mey), being drunk or wanting to get drunk, explicit sexual content, and failing at romantic relationships.  Vocalists include Roohparvar, Firoozeh, Afat, Susan, Gita and Ramesh amongst others.

Picture disc edition of 300 copies

Maja S. K. Ratkje is at the forefront of the musical avant-garde. Her music is bold, original and it is meant for sharing. At its heart lies Ratkje’s own voice, an open door to her individual musicianship and a constant tool for realigning her work with natural expressions and human truths.

On Mara, layers of vocals overlap and layer their way through the reverberant woodwork of an early baroque parish in Austria. At times slow and beautiful, other times frantic and sinister, this live recording is full of depth, passion and life. 

Live-recording at Pfarrkirche, Lockenhaus at Kammermusikfest Lockenhaus July 9, 2018. 

Recorded and mixed by Peter Laenger and Andreas Ruge from Tritonus Musikproduktion.
Mastered by Maja S. K. Ratkje at Svartskog 2019.

All music created and performed in real-time by Maja S. K. Ratkje, except sung parts from the Norwegian traditional Hanen sten på stabburshella and the American traditional Mining for Gold. 

Maja is using voice processing software created by Øyvind Brandtsegg.
