M\u00efus is a solo music project by Budapest based artist Gergely \u00c1lmos, defined as a multi-art project wherein the different fields of self-expression meet each other. <\/strong><\/p>\n

An architect in civil life and film set designer, Mi\u0308us now presents his latest absorbing LP, Twentytwo 22<\/strong>. The ten-track affair shows off his unique knack for mixing live playing skills with electronic production. Here, anticipating the LP’s 6 April release, M\u00efus gives us a walk through Hungary’s electronic music history. On the playlist he states:<\/p>\n

It was really hard to pick one track from each decade or genre, so this is kind of a partial snapshot of Hungarian musical history. In the first half I focused on milestones in the past for the electronic music culture of Hungary, the second half is taken from a wide selection of modern artists.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1. Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti – Artikulation (1958)<\/h2>\n

– Classical, Experimental, Electronica<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti was a Hungarian composer of contemporary classical music, but he was also one of the pioneers of electronic music. He recorded one of his famous pieces in the electronic studio of West German Radio in 1958 Cologne. <\/p>\n

Ligeti explains “The piece is called ‘Artikulation’ because in this sense an artificial language is articulated: question and answer, high and low voices, polyglot speaking and interruptions, impulsive outbreaks and humor, charming and whispering.”<\/p>\n

Rainer Wehinger created a visual listening score to the track, which is described as one of the most important roots for VJ culture.<\/p>\n

2. Panta Rhei – Mandarin (1979)<\/h2>\n

– Funk, Electronic, Disco<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the 70’s it was really hard to buy or even get an instrument on this side of the iron curtain. In Hungary everybody was building home-made guitars and amplifiers. These guys once listened to Walter Carlos playing a Moog in “Switched-On Bach”, and decided to build their own synthesizers. It was possible as they were physicians in civil life, and got help from electrical engineers where they lived, in the houses of a nuclear research centre. Andr\u00e1s Szalay later moved to the USA, and developed lots of electronic devices, synthesizers for big companies like Akai or Fishman.<\/p>\n

3. D\u00e4n von Schultz – Ozone (1994)<\/h2>\n

– House<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After learning and experiencing via DMC world, a new djing culture started to grow up riding the boom of house music in 90’s Hungary.<\/p>\n

4. Anima Sound System – ’68 (1997)<\/h2>\n

– Dub<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

There are tunes that will never fade away, ’68 is one of these pieces made by the electronic band led by Zsolt Prieger. They usually mixed modern electronic sounds with east-european folk.<\/p>\n

5. Neo – Ranbo 13 (1999)<\/h2>\n

– Big Beat<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

During the first five years of Neo, M\u00e1rk Moldvai and M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Milkovics as a duo created lots of nice big beat tracks together. Like many big beat music videos, theirs also have a funny concept behind.<\/p>\n

6. Yonderboi – Follow me home (2005)<\/h2>\n

– Electronica
