It is impossible to attempt to compress the musical universe enclosed behind the iron curtain by decades in a single mini-series. A basic approach to the reality of the musical avantgardein each one of the multiple, rich cultures of this great unknown which is Eastern Europe, nowadays in full development, would need the making of a book. Therefore, this mini-series will only be a brief vision, perforce incomplete, of these innovative styles sustained on cultures maybe as ancient or even more so than those in the rest of Europe. This is a very different country from other nations in Eastern Europe from a cultural point of view.
Fantastic literature has enormous editorial success.
The native cinema of science fiction and terror presents a high amount of titles. Of course, Gy rgy Ligeti is the first name that comes to our minds with respect to Hungarian avantgarde music. Yet, other less known ones are very interesting as well, as for instance the electronic pioneers Laszlo Hortobaggi, Miklos Maros, Akos Rozmann, and Tamas Ungvary, who have been making their music since the early 1970s. I was able to contact this latter one in Sweden, where he has settled since a few years ago. Actually, the Scandinavian countries were the ones receiving more immigrants from Eastern Europe.
