Kaldera

Kaldera is an acoustic duet, formed in 2012, which was transmuted from a childhood
friendship, from a country somewhere between the northern wilderness and
the southern motorways. Its roadside folk music, a dialogue of introverted moods
with guitar and vocals. If you say blues, then we say grunge. If you say grunge, then
we say folk.The core of the 11 songs of the album was
recorded in the Nagybrzsny (which is
located in the caldera of the mountain
Brzsny) in a mud-hut, while there was
-16C degrees outside and it was snowing
heavily. The recording took 7 days. We gave
the raw tracks to the sound engineer Barna
Hidasi who liked it so we worked further
together. We thought that some of the tracks
would have sounded better in a special
instrumentation, so we asked some of our
musician friends to finalize the record.
The speciality of the album resides in its instrumentation: beside the traditional
acoustic instruments, we used others like the ukulele, the mandolin or the didgeridoo.
The mood and style of the songs is changing between the bluegrass, the folk
and the acoustic grunge songs.
Among the influences one can find Eddie Vedders Into the Wild as well as the OST
of Pl Zolnays movie entitled Fotogrfia (1973), Tams Cseh or the Fleet Foxes
from Seattle.
