Sensual and eerily beautiful universe of Schubert's songs transform into a contemporary spatial experience by a trio with vocals, harp & electronics

The NOW! series originally started as the duo of harpist Anastasia Razvalyaeva and jazz singer Veronika Harcsa, who wanted to experiment with the possibilities of non-classical voice training, and substituting the piano with harp accompaniment in Debussy's songs. They were then joined by Márton Fenyvesi, who expanded the musical texture not so much with his guitar playing, but rather by transforming the live vocal and harp sound with electronic modulations, effects and filters. Layers of acoustic composition and electronics organically merged in the dreamlike world of Debussy NOW!. In the second part of the NOW! series, Veronika Harcsa, Anastasia Razvalyaeva and their accomplice Bálint Bolcsó worked together to develop their reading of Schubert's songs from the beginning. The electronics on this album span the entire range of electronic music from abstract noise to techno, and go far beyond transforming the sound of the voice and the harp: Bolcsó creates his own sound from selected musical elements of Schubert's songs, luring both the voice and the harp into intense dialogue. Although Schubert's music is most famous for its transcendent harmonies, the trio found that rhythm is just as important, so they amplified them as grooves.
