Info for Multiverse

"After the appearance of the James Webb telescope, I became intensely interested in astronomy, and, as is often the case, I threw myself fully into the subject. I was fascinated by what I learned about the universe, black holes, dark matter, and quantum theory. I realized that it is a science fiction wich we live in, and that the universe is governed by different physical laws where almost anything is possible, and in the vastness of this universe, we are just a tiny dot. I remember that I really like how Michio Kaku, a professor of theoretical physics at New York University, compared string theory to music: ‘The components of atoms are like musical notes vibrating on a string, physics are harmonies, chemistry is melodies, and the universe is the symphony of vibrating strings.’

I was immediately inspired and sat down at the piano and composed the title track of the album. At the same time, during the process, I felt that I didn’t want to create another conceptual record like the previous two, so I focused only on being personal, genuine, and authentic in the songs, and capturing the energy and intimacy we experience at our live concerts with the audience. So, we put together a more relaxed, vibrant, colorful, and fun material, where our distinctive style features are equally dominant. The title 'Multiverse' not only reflects the initial inspiration but also symbolizes this diversity.” Gábor Horváth
