Szemző Tibor
Composer
Tibor Szemző (b. 1955) is a native of Budapest. His compositions for live performance incorporate spoken word, film, and other media, but a considerable part of his output is for use as soundtracks for films - both his own productions and those of others. As a musician, Szemző was the founder of the acclaimed Hungarian modern ensemble Group 180 during the 1980s; his current performance group, The Gordian Knot, was founded in 1998.
