Cserepes, Karoly
The Sold Girl
Cserepes places sound recordings of traditional music in an unusual musical environment; without changing the original forms he drapes them in different robes through digital technology. The original recordings interact and converse with one another creating a new musical fabric, rearranging it, resulting in an exotic sound for modern folk. Cserepess goal is to offer treasures of folk music usually only available to the small circle of those in the ethnomusicology profession, to a wider audience. It was a long time ago. The Hungarian relations with the Turks are fading into the gloom of the past. Small is the number of the centuries-old folk songs and ballads that still remember these encounters. Even then, only very delicately, cleanly, quietly, without emotion. The most serious dramatic content is expressed in the calmest narrative voice.
