about

There are two tracks. "Appleogy" is a live recording, actually a jam of three of us, Şerban play the bass, Grigore the zither and I'm playing with the pipe emulator on my keyboard.
"Sárga kukac" is like a mystic trip into etno rock, it's like a shaman invocation, the logical following of "Appleogy", this is the reason we decided to tie this two tracks. On the second one Grigore moved to his double bass, but also recorded a gittern track and provided a drum sampler, Şerban play his guitar and I write a lyric in Hungarian language, I sing it and I played piano, a noisy lathe sampler and the flute emulator. I think we're getting somewhere.

About my concept of "Appleogy".
There are a few different things and meanings over leaping. One one hand we had the word "apple", on the other hand I thought about "sex appeal", but also about "apologies" and the term "apology".
I made this painting in 1999 ( brushvox.com/gallery/paintings-sold/002-appleogy/ ) and my dilemma is a quit simple one: the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden if it was an apple as it mostly referred, it was a red one or a green one? Or maybe yellow?
This question comes back in several of my paintings as an obsession. Take a look anyway: brushvox.com/gallery/paintings-sold/

Taking off from this unanswered question, I use this premise to get down to one of the traditional discussion inside most of the couples, in fact to that point when one said "black", the other "white" and this is a perfect starting point for a lovely conflict. Only that I used other colors: red and green, yellow and blue. It's almost like the argue about the Earth is flat or round...
But "Sárga kukac" is part of a traditional Hungarian "Tongue Twisters". The original phrase is: "Egy tucat kupac csupasz kopasz kukac meg..." and in rough translation it means: "A dozen piles of naked bald worms..." ( www.uebersetzung.at/twister/hu.htm#T100438 ) So "Sárga kukac" roughly translated is "Yellow Worm" or "Yellow Maggot".
"Kukac" is also the name given to "at sign" ("monkey tail") symbol in Hungarian.
On my surprise looking on Google for "sárga kukac" I found this: www.shopmania.hu/shopping~online-felnott~vasarlas-sarga-kukac~p-7036123.html . Well, honestly I didn't knew that "kukac" is the Hungarian term used for dildo as well. It gives a totally unexpected perspective for everything. Isn't it?

lyrics

Sárga kukac, kopasz kupac
Sárga kukac, kopasz kukac

Piros az alma
te mondod, hogy zöld
Bent van a kukac
de a miénk a föld

Piros az alma
te mondod, hogy szép
Bámul a kukac
túl éles a kép

Sárga kukac, kopasz kupac

Piros az alma
te mondod, hogy zöld
Hízik a kukac
mégis lapos a föld

Piros az alma
te mondod, hogy kék
A kukac, hogy sárga
s mi harapjuk még

Piros az alma
te mondod, hogy zöld
és miénk a kukac
míg forog a föld

Sárga kukac, kopasz kukac

Sárga, piros, zöld, kék
milyen szép, milyen szép, milyen szép...

Sárga kukac

Piros az alma
Sárga, zöld, kék.

rough translation:
(Yellow worm, bald piles
Yellow worm, bald maggots

Red is the apple
you say that is green
Inside there is a maggot
but the land is ours

Red is the apple
You're saying that nice
The warm is staring at
the picture is too sharp

Yellow worm, bold pile

Red is the apple
you say that Green
the warm is gain weight
Yet the Earth is still flat

Red apples
You're saying that blue
The worm that is yellow
and we're still bite

Red is the apple
you say that is green
and ours is the maggot
until the Earth still rotates

Yellow worm, bald maggots

Yellow, red, green, blue
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful ...

Yellow Worm

Red is the apple
Yellow, green, blue.)

about

Mr. Pan[k]sament Romania

I ended up at the microphone of a garage punk-rock band back in 1988 by mistake and fortune, and ever since, I've been "doing" music one way or another with different bands, projects or on my own. I played piano, bass, and some drums and learned to work with computers, samplers, and midi controllers.
I use Propellerhead's Reason, an Alesis keyboard, an Oxygen 8 midi-controller and the Reaper.
