Silence Factory

We're the ultimate electro-funk unit from Budapest

About Me

One day we just thought of making a band - that's how it starts. Then it is much more compilcated in details, as it seems writing what happened in a few rows. It was almost exactly two years ago when Kornélia and Gábor went home from a rehearsal in a local jazz band, and thought about creating Silence Factory - (the name comes from a dream). Then followed 3 months of extreme productivity - i haven't composed anything since 6 years then, and all those experiences started to come to life musically. We set up the live band, created a demo, and started playing gigs in Budapest. After a year, sadly the uncertainity of band life almost broke everything - Kornélia has left the band, due to a contract with a metal band. This all happened after we've finished the studio recordings of the first album. After half a year of mixing, mastering, singer-searching, we've finally released our first album, and we're enforced with a new superb singer, Napsugár. Now we're looking forward to what 2008 will have for us.

My Interests

Music:

Band Website: silencefactory.com
Band Members: get our first album from iTunes or choose a familiar store from the list
Influences: Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, PRI, Dizzy, The Orb, etc.
Sounds Like: Sometimes atmospheric and eerie, ambient soundscapes founded on jazzy harmonies, sometimes boogieing down to earthy electro-funk grooves - our new band is a live killer with Napsugár's ultradynamic stage performance. What we love, and what inspired us to create our world are mostly oldschool jazz giants, electronic music as a phenomenon, and what could have gone first: c64.So, heroes: Miles,Herbie,The Orb,Meitz,Dizzy and a zillion more. ..

Reich, Rich, Roach

I'm not afraid of 32 minute long tunes, so i wasn't scared from Steve Roach's (i think) latest album, Proof Positive. We figured out recently, that music is good, either if a tune lasts at least ten m...
