Takashi is an imaginary B side of an imaginary album.
Based on a vision I had last November: it was a telephone conversation about Takashi a no wave/dark pop cult singer, composer, multiinstrumentalist died in the early 80's in mysteriuos conditions..

Takashi

Originally made for a contemporary dance piece titled "Zoom". The piece is a continuous choreography with different counting systems between three dancers. 
Throughout the creation I used this very inspiring browser-based software: https://ctm.isartum.net, combined with Ableton and Reaktor.

He Ttu To

guitars, drums, played, recorded and mixed by Áron Porteleki

It's a demo for an upcoming solo album, based on solo sessions between 2011-2021. It will be a collection of overlapping ideas from my folk music background and all the music I'm interested in. 

This track is based on a lament as I heard from gypsy musicians from Magyarpalatka, Transylvania. This tune is originally used to accompany funeral customs. 

On the pic (L-R) me, my dad and my uncle playing music from the same region.

A handful of tracks I produced this year for mostly theater and dance performances. Mostly loops and ambient sounds, instrumental recordings, I'v became fascinated with, but there are some field recordings from Indonesia as well. Here I share the raw, unfinished demo versions which I usually like the most. All music recorded, produced, mixed by me, except the last track which I sampled from "I'll Rise" by Ben Harper.
