Selected Works

Petri

Bartók György: Fafner Serenade

Electronic piano piece based on Chopin, using MAX/MSP. Musica derivata.

Bartók György: Berceuses Engloutis

Me playing a slightly improvised version of the piece called Homok-kő on prepared piano.

Bartók György: Homok-kő

Bartók György: Fuga Severa

Background jazz before and after Valika világa. 
The play revolves around the stroke death of a dance teacher who superstitiousy believes in Lambada, a popular song from the 1980s. The music portrays her personality with a series of Lambada-copies. 
The plot is a series of visions and reminiscences in her delirium on the way to heaven. In the music there is church version, cheap synth accompanist version, 19th century military version, burlesque version, witchcraft version, ascension version. I uploaded some of it.


Lambada III (in Jazz Noir)

Track from Valika világa (2011). 
Valika finally reaches heaven. The angels are relieved. All's Well That Ends Well.

Lambada IV (Antilambada)

Sappy orchestral A, The Cherry Orchard

I have worked with ridiculously talented young Russian director Sardar Tagirovsky since 2011. Few of the music has survived, because he prefers live music halfway behind scenes, halfway visible, often played by the actors themselves. 
There are some playback tracks still, so I uploaded them.

Sappy orchestral B, The Cherry Orchard

Background music for surrealistic intermisson where Russian tea and all sorts of things were served by the characters and figurants of the play. The track uses samples from the Waltz. The acoustics of the foyer were blurrier than the music, and people were chatting.

Foyer music The Cherry Orchard

Valika's daughter is married to a so-called Turbómagyar (=angry Hungarian nationalist), and this track, the family scene ambiance, transforms Lambada into a typical 19th century Hungarian military song.
