László Melis: "Black and White" reconsiles Tradition with Evolution
TobiasWhile some track titles on “Black and White”, out on BMC Records, already hint at his interest in 20th century phenomena (“Blues”, “Rock n Roll”), others openly quote the past. The idea seems to be to replace the somewhat forced revolutionary sentiments of the Avantgarde with an element of surprise. Even László Vidovszky seems pleased with this approach: “They broaden the scope of interpretation of conventions, and because of this we bear their hackneyed turns of phrase with patience. At the same time they give us a place to see the “new” as similar to the old”, he concludes, “It’s not a bad feeling.”
