Tibor Szemző
Tibor Szemző is a Hungarian composer, performer and media artist, born in Budapest in 1955. He came out of the Hungarian minimalist scene of the late 1970s and works across chamber music, voice, electronics and film. He is known for co-founding Group 180, which brought repetitive music to Hungarian audiences, and for multimedia pieces that combine narrators, ensembles and his own films. Szemző founded Group 180 with László Melis, András Soós, László Gőz and others. The group released an LP on Hungaroton in 1983.
