Laszlo Hortobag, Gyorgy Kurtag Jr. & Miklos Lengyelfi - Kurtagonals

The son of one of today's greatest composers Gy�rgy Kurt�g, also named Gy�rgy, creates his own electronic music - and his themes are incorporated into the synthesized arrangements of L�szl� Hortob�gy.

Gy�rgy Kurt�g Jr, son of the great Hungarian composer, has long been developing his own electronic music. In this unusual project, fellow composer L�szl� Hortob�gyi integrates Kurt�g themes into his own arrangements in a recording that celebrates a long friendship. This is, say the group members, a Hortob�gyi album about Kurt�g, as well as an invitation to discover a new sphere of music. Drifting ambient washes of synthesized sound, near-subliminal bass, collages of subtle colours and sudden eruptions are but part of the story. An intriguing addition to ECM's growing catalogue of electronica for discerning listeners.

Personnel: Gy�rgy Kurt�g Jr. (synthesizers), L�szl� Hortob�gyi (synthesizers, computers), Mikl�s Lengyelfi (bass, effects)
