László Hortobágyi is an electron released in the current world sound system galaxy. His sound art is simultaneously an expanded ethnography of an invented folklore and a way to preserve his acoustic environments for future generations. They are compositions of both terrestrial and spatial sound that present a rich auditory ecology and trace the path from the past to the future. Ancient and futuristic environments interconnected by invisible historical complexities and inhabited by guardians of tradition. Hortobágyi's music, conceptually fascinating, reveals a unique and transitory world of sound carried out in a singular work form that opens as a portal to another musical dimension. “Transociety Relics”, his latest opus, compiles previously unreleased archive material spanning the period 1974 / 2019. Each side of this two-LP set reproduces a specific impulse in László Hortobágyi's long and influential career. SIDE A - “Sygnus Synth Seasons 1974” collects pieces of the 1974-1978 period composed designed and played on the modular synth Sygnus, invented and constructed by Péter Radványi at the Department of Phonetics of the ELTE University. “My friend Peter Radványi (of the Phoenetics Department of ELTE, Bp.) began the construction of his own modular instrument following the principle of more serious modular synthesizers or the portable EMS Synthi VCS3-AKS 1969-1971 (eg:Whitenoise) at the same time... "These early electronic music were born in the world of the realized socialism. Not in the West, where thanks to the industrial revolution, by way of original and free accumulation of capital, that is, through exploitation of distant countries and continents, the exotic properties and various genres of musics have become available on the shelves of shopping centers.”
