• ÉVA POLGÁR & SÁNDOR VÁLY - 'Gilgamesh' CD

On this work, literature becomes music. "Gilgamesh" is the second joint project of two Hungarian experimental artists: international pianist Éva Polgár and conceptual multidisciplinary artist Sándor Vály. The music, based on the 5,000 year old Epic of Gilgamesh, is pervaded by extreme expressiveness and melancholic minimalism simultaneously. On the borderline of different time dimensions, the work presents an insoluble tension between realisation, death, and eternity. Every piece on the album contains the two extremes where the female quality answers the male, one builds upon the other, or they complete each other. Polgár and Vály continue the musical dialogue already featured on their first album, "Mondrian Variations". That is, the acoustic and electronic dialogue of piano, percussion instruments, and samplers.
