The Pop Ivan was formed in Budapest in 1998 with the fusion of a progressive-experimental rock band and an art group dealing with fine arts, film, and music. Their music is characterised by a certain permeability between styles and atmospheres : one can discover in their works archaic Moldvan melodies, Latin rhythms, elements of the modern free-jazz and of contemporary compositions (e.g. those of Rachmaninov, Erik Satie and Ciprian Porumbescu). They play traditional songs without creating ethno music out of it, they play free jazz without wanting to sound jazz-like, and they apply the methods of repetitiveness and minimalism without the aim to make serial music. At their performances they frequently use visual effects : the audience can watch super 8 or 16 mm films parallel to listening to the music of Pop Ivan. The band and the individual members also compose film music. Their debut album was released in 2001 entitled Hospital Hungary. Since 2000 they have been giving concerts in Europe, thus have played in Belgium, France, Slovenia, Croatia, Austria the Czech Republic, Italy, Russia, and Georgia.
We hold the bloody icon high. On the world's latest silence-coated pageantry the nylon-wrapped mankind entombs the hope. We find a transitional shelter where the situation dissolves for a second in a carefree dance, what we step in the front of the passing time's firing squad. ________________________________________________________
