Unlike other instrumental bands Makrohang cleverly combines a variety of musical styles ranging from hard rock to post-bop, from jazz to hip hop, from techno to minimal and all over the board.

The young threesome partially formed at The Liszt Ferenc Academy in Budapest, as Marcell Gyanyi (bass) and Tamas Czirjak (drums) met at the academy’s jazz program, but Gergely Nagy (guitars) and Marcell already played together for years.

Makrohang’s sonic world could be described as a mix of different styles cleverly structured into sonic audiovisual trips. Influences include of course jazz, but also rocking guitar sounds and heavy bass lines, so that is where the buzzword #jazzformetalheads comes from.

The trio recorded and uploaded their first demo (monokini terror) to Bandcamp in 2013, which was followed by a live EP recorded in 2014 (tilosradio session).

After winning the 2014 Talentometer talent contest organized by A38 Ship as the first instrumental act the band achieved national recognition. They had several successful shows and recorded live sessions with psychedelic jazzrock newcomer Jü (debuting at RareNoiseRecords) and with Balázs Pándi the internationally acclaimed Hungarian drummer (Venetian Snares, Merzbow, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, etc.).

The band has released their second studio EP (MAXREBO) on the 19th December 2014 via S*10 Records. The leading Hungarian music magazine Recorder praised the release:

“MAXREBO invites you with a longer song into the band’s own world and the brilliant second song qwertz is able to return the highly energetic and pulsating experience, Makrohang is providing at their live concerts. Of course the record’s second half is also brings the high quality you were expecting, first with noisy elements and after with some dub.”

Playing at the Waves Bratislava Showcase in 2015 secured a gig for the band to MENT Ljubljana in February 2016.

Makrohang is currently working on their next album, planned to be recorded and released in 2016.
