The line-up widened with fine artist Zoltan Fekete in the debut concert. Zoltan is responsible for the visual image of our live acts. he played a few times in the Rovar17, but soon he made up his own band, first under the name Káoszütemezo then Nautilus.
Special thanks for the perfect concert sonority of the Rovar17 for Nándor Maller, he is our constant band tech, and has also appeared as a musician (he played either Expander Springs (an instrument of his own making), or a drum sampler .The method of the Rovar17 audio collage technic:
- first step: Creation.
We create some artificial organizms. Because we haven?t got pure laboratory, and we can?t groom the test-tubes and instruments, the generated living beings are black-hearted.
- secound step: Sampling.
We investigate the evil beings & make video and audio record of their behaviour. Eventually, finds are presented live to the audiance... Disography: albums:

07 Head-thorax-abdomen (8:33)
08 Rlneeaeyn (5:55)We used some instruments in the course of making the Horsehead Nebula album. For example: acoustic guitar string, flute, grand piano, plastic bag, butterfly knife, wox humana, goblet, conga, some water: tap water and living spring (etc.), and inverse and re-interpretation of these things.
If you are listening this music thoughtfully, then you may detect lyrics, and wox humana in three or four songs (Clouds, Fairy, Rlneeaeyn and some crooning in the Hard Birth). Because we degraded the human voices to be instruments ( we used these loops at the same way as other noises). The character and the quality of sounding went to the prejudice of the potential interpretation.edited by: Kalman Pongracz, Levente Bod01 Analog (2:32)

05 Ragedy-Ass Opiate (10:25)
06 Clouds - Death Version (18:30)I don't know, what kind of criterias define, that an album is "single" or "LP". Anyway, the Anything Else the Madness started to be a so called single album of the "Clouds" - and at the end it became something other. As a matter of facts, I hate the real single albums, so we wished to make an opus with the character of the single albums: it could had contented the variation an existing track (Clouds). Than at first the length of the opus started to be near to an LP, and later the subsequent interpreatation of the Clouds (expect the Death version, which made to be an remix originally) more and more seceded from the original track. Finally the tracks won the privileges of the several LP.
The preparation of the album was very slow , because we have some disagreements abaut the Wings of Rose composition. as the months passed, and as more and more new tracks belonged to the album, we finally forgot the remix-conception...
Eventually we had got an totally several self-contained opus. I must say it isn't a pity at all!If you are thinking that the Insect17 is a pronounced instrumental band, here are some reason to change your mind:
I hardly know, that this album affirms or confutes to the preconceived idea. Anyway the Everything Else The Madness album have got much more singing. With special thanks for the voices: Judit Nikoletta Szabó, Mónika Fiáth, Kálmán Pongrácz (for my voice).On the cover of the CD the following installation of Zoltán Fekete can be found: "Forest", "Forest Gate", and "Forest Puppet".edited by: Kalman Pongracz, Levente Bod01, Wormhole (7:15)
