about

If you like a little melodrama, this one could be for you. 1914 is loosely based on an old Hungarian folk tune played by a Roma violinist from 1914 which I accidentally heard when browsing the Net. It had a sense of desperation that I wanted to take a little further. 1914 was also the year that the Austro-Hungarian archduke Franz Ferdinand was killed which led to World War I.

The Roma (Gypsies, as others call them) have always had a hard time in Hungary – and not only there. Just recently, the French president Sarkozy ordered to dismantle a number of Roma camps in his country. Ironically, Sarkozy himself is the son of an immigrant – a Hungarian.

Deckare contains songs inspired by crime novels.
