Erik Satie, one of the most original and innovative composers and thinkers of modern French music, passed away in 1925. An inspiration for both younger composers and the sister arts, Satie became one of the most frequently referenced creators of 20th-century experimental music. This concert of the UMZE Chamber Ensemble focuses on the relationship between Satie and music for cinema, through both a reconstruction of a film score by him and new compositions created for some avant-garde films from the period. The music for the silent films of Luis Buñuel, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, as well as the shorts of László Moholy-Nagy and Hans Richter, has been composed by Marcell Dargay, Dániel Dinyés, Balázs Horváth, Martin Matalon, László Tihanyi and Gregory Vajda.
