About pozvakowski.
Pozvakowski started out from Győr in year 2000. The leading idea was creating different moods and experience by music and visual effects. At the beginning of 2002 the band recorded a 4-track material in Studio 8 of the Hungarian Radio which served promotional purposes. They have been doing concerts with the famous hungarian virtuoso saxophone player István Grencsó. The band got completed with a projectionist guy. This formation debuted on Mediawave Festival in 2003 with great success. In Fall of 2003 the band is played in squats and clubs around Europe, having gigs in Holland, Belgium, Germany. The second album of theirs called Transistor includes five songs. Pozvakowski recorded it in August 2004. After the recording sessions, in October they shooted off to Dortmund and Eindhoven to show the new songs for a small part of Europe. SzerediCs stuffs eight old 8' 16' cinema projectors in front of the stage and the band plays its characteristic music including musical parts that we can call postrock. It flows, rolls on then comes to a standstill: music becomes noise, noise turns into music. The performance vibrates with peculiar air which is more like a photographic image of a situation, a glimpsed moment than storytelling. However, their play is not trapped in static melancholy. The guys may surprise the ingenous listener with a wild free jazz section, ear-splitting noise or a stressed guitar sound... In 2004 august the band recorded it's new album, called Transistor After that they went on a European Tour, which included the Dutch- Hungarian Cultural Season in Eindhoven and Rotterdam. In the end of 2004 the channel Duna TV created a documentary on István Grencsó in which Pozvakowski got its own chapter. In the spring of 2005 there was a trip to Germany followed by participation in a production which was possibly the most exciting one in the Mediawave festival history. They worked together with the New York Gutbucket on the underground music workshop. During the years they played before bands like the japanese Mono, the brittish Guapo or the american underground legend Jarboe. In 2006 april they received an invitation to the SKIF festive in St. Petersbourg and its follower program in Moscow.
