David Kovacs Unlocks a Haunting Inner Universe on His Experimental Album 'I Try to Breath in a Vortex'

With I Try to Breath in a Vortex, Hungarian composer and experimental artist David Kovacs delivers an album that feels less like a collection of songs and more like an immersive mental landscape. Across 11 tracks, Kovacs constructs an unconventional, dreamlike narrative that exists somewhere between minimalist classical music, electroacoustic experimentation, and contemporary opera. It is an album built to challenge expectations, dissolve boundaries, and pull listeners into the psychological turbulence hinted at by its title.

The keyword concept “I try to breath in a Vortex” serves as both a thematic anchor and an emotional thesis. Throughout the project, Kovacs explores the tension between internal imagination and the external realities that constantly attempt to overwhelm it. Field recordings drift in and out like distant memories, while fragile tonal fragments, strange instrumental textures, and whispered atmospheres circle one another in a swirling sonic vortex. The effect is hypnotic, disorienting, and deeply human.

What makes the album so compelling is its ability to capture the feeling of a dreamer grappling with the collision of inner softness and outer chaos. Moments of quiet introspection give way to surges of noise; delicate melodic gestures dissolve into shadows; existential fragments float to the surface only to vanish again. Kovacs’ arrangements often mimic the structure of an opera without adhering to traditional form, each track functioning as a scene, a monologue, or an emotional turning point.

His world is one of “ The silent waves cover my mind,” “blurred throbbings,” and drifting consciousness. The listener is guided into spaces where identity dissolves, re-forms, and dissolves again. Yet amid the turbulence, there is a persistent undercurrent of healing. Kovacs’s use of repetition, minimalism, and grounded acoustic detail creates moments of calm, reminding us that the vortex of life itself is not only chaotic but also transformative.

By merging classical sensibilities with electroacoustic textures, he achieves a rare balance: an album that is conceptually rich yet emotionally accessible. It invites deep listening, re-listening, and internal reflection. I Try to Breath in a Vortex stands as one of Kovacs’ most ambitious works, a poetic exploration of consciousness, disorientation, and renewal. It is a bold contribution to contemporary experimental music and a testament to the power of sound to illuminate the hidden corners of the human mind.
