Performing sometimes with a grand piano and a high-fi sound system, but sometimes with a skeletal drum kit, a synthesizer, and a single speaker, the duo is at home within a remarkable range of sounds: passages of complex contrapuntal chamber music are followed by noisy improvised soundscapes punctuated by Gyárfás’s gong synthesizer, and followed again by Zucker’s plaintive lullabies.

Gyárfás and Zucker developed the new music for this album in February 2023 on a tour interrupted by the earthquake in Turkiye, before audiences in Budapest, Szeged, Belgrade, Sofia, Plovdiv, and Istanbul, rehearsed at sound checks and on trains and buses. The music was recorded finally in August 2023, both halves in single epic live takes, in a single-day recording session in Budapest.
