Q3Ambientfest Vaghy
We would have celebrated with vaghy and many friends of the scene the Piano Day last year at Müpa Budapest, Hungary. Many things were cancelled or postponed.
All the more Brueder Selke are looking forward to this year's Q3Ambientfest with vaghy.
(Tamás Vághy) is a Hungarian composer and pianist. He is newly entering the contemporary and modern classical music scene. His musical life has many faces because he loves immersing himself in a lot of musical genres.
He grew up with a piano in his room when he was a child so he met his main instrument quite early and started learning it at the age of 5. Later he realized that his strength lay in improvisation because he didn't like bounds – so he rather chose to learn from private teachers and practiced a lot on his own. Ever since he's been fighting the bounds and trying to break out of the conventional.
A few years ago he saw a Nils Frahm video and realized what he had been doing in his bedroom studio was a good way to express himself. Frahm gave him a confirmation about anything that he thought and created in music before and that he is on the right way. His compositions were in the drawer and in his head so after that moment he felt it was time to take them out and finish them. These days he is experimenting a lot within the modern classical style, from chamber music to solo piano music and piano sounds with electronic essentials.
His first official release can be heard on Blue Spiral Records' The Minimal Piano Series Vol. 2. selection. Invisible Touch – which was composed for the occasion of this composer contest – not only made it to this record but also opened the whole album that features minimal piano compositions.
