Karoly Cserepes has once again come up with a great world music album using the same technique he used on his previous records 'Blacklake' and 'My Name is Elvis'. 'The Big Slalom' is a journey in the Carpathian Basin amongst his musical roots. He places sound recordings of traditional music in an unusual musical environment; without changing the original forms he drapes them in different robes through digital technology. The original recordings interact and converse with one another creating a new musical fabric, rearranging it, resulting in an exotic sound for modern folk. Cserepes? goal is to offer treasures of folk music usually only available to the small circle of those in the ethnomusicology profession, to a wider audience.
