Mechanical Orchestra
Mechanical Orchestra
This programme is held in Hungarian.
It's not every day that you hear Josquin, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Liszt, and Beethoven pieces alongside Queen, Beatles, Illés, and Britney Spears tracks on one repertoire, all performed by a fully robotized orchestra. The Robot Organ and its "orchestra" accomplish all of this today. It guides listeners on a musical journey through history after Dániel Váczi arranged the most significant musical compositions from several centuries for instruments controlled by a computer yet completely acoustically sounding.
The crown jewel of the House of Music's Creative Sound Space, which opened in 2022, is an experimental organ that can truly be called a Hungarian treasure. Dániel Váczi developed the concept for the installation largely based on ideas that György Ligeti had already envisioned for the organ of the future in the 1960s.
Rock Troubadours (US, 70s): CSNY, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison, Roy Harper
