These five albums of the Elektróda band beautifully represent the law of attraction for me When I was studying at the jazz conservatoir of Budapest, I had a special spiritual improvisation workshop with some volunteers who were all amateurs, never studied music, the formation was spontaneous and we didn't have a clue what will happen Miracle happened and this occasion was also recorded (trackBelső hangok) Our name became later:"Inner Voices" and had several concerts, too. In that year I decided that I will make the professional version of this kind of music after finishing my studies. This dream was a burning desire in me and although this is a very marginal style I had a perfect Idea how it shoud sound: 100% improvised groovy spiritual music. It took 25 years to come true, but in the precise form how I dreamed it.
Our PINARCHIA punk rock band was founded on a special occasion,
when I met two of my best friends in the living room one morning as they
were waiting for their date, the girl I lived with in a shared
accommodation. I just mentioned my worries about the world being more
and more regulated, suffocating us, concentrating power in unions and
taking away our liberties day by day, to the level when making love will
be restricted by law. Immediately the two friends started to play and
sing a complete song out of the blue, that had rhymes, groove, etc., a
whole good track with the refrain: "Go fuck while it's legal", that was
also recorded by chance so we can listen to it 15 years later! The name
resonates to this event of a new band being born: PINARCHIA
Pina means the female genital in Hungarian, and we all know what Anarchia (anarchy) means...do we?
But half of the band is Greek (guys who moved to Hungary because civil war in Greece long time ago) so I learned that Archia means Beginning in Greek, and pan means all in Greek, so PANarchia means an "All Encompassing Beginning" which is very much needed in our time. Plus
there is the irregular number:PI in PINARCHIA, pointing to the biggest
revelation of modern man: In reality there are no rational numbers. In
nature you can not see a straight line, because everything is made of
atoms which are spheres, so the only existing number in nature is PI, a
certain ratio. Ratio, not quantity. It's all in the logo of the band.
That's
how deep our thinking goes while we are playing the most simple punk
songs of which many was written the same way like the first:
spontaneously the whole track=music+lyrics.
On top of this our
songwriter made a genial videoclip from our only track of which I wrote
the lyrics for...
