Mihály Víg

Mihaly Vig是贝拉‧塔尔的御用作曲人，从《秋天年鉴》开始他便担当了其大部分作品的配乐工作。 
Mihaly Vig擅长采用简单的配器，这一点恰恰暗合了塔尔式的简约主义风格。无论是低调的电子合成器，朴素的吉他、钢琴、萨克斯管，抑或简单的敲击乐器，都只是如留白般地出现在影片之中，绝不喧宾夺主。
Mihály Víg 出生于1957年，布达佩斯，音乐家庭。
At the age of 21 he founded the band »Balaton«, with whom he still performs. Between 1982 and 1985 he was a member of the band »Trabant«, whose concerts were considered to be legendary events in the Hungarian underground in the second half of the Kádár era.
Víg is best known internationally for his film scores. Along with film directors such as János Xantus, Péter Müller, András Szirtes and Ildikó Szabó, he has worked particularly closely with director Béla Tarr – also as an actor. Víg composed the music for Tarr’s films »Öszi Almanach« (1984; Eng. »Almanac of Fall«), »Kárhozat« (1988; t: Damnation), »Az utolsó hajó« (1990; t: The last ship), »Sátántangó« (1994; Eng. »Satan’s Tango«) – in which Víg played the main role – »Utazás az alföldön« (1995; Eng. »Journey on the Plain«), »Werckmeister harmóniák« (2000; Eng. »Werckmeister Harmonies«) and most recently »A Londoni férfi« (2007; Eng. »The Man from London«), for which he received the EU XXL film Award in March of this year. As the jury wrote in their evaluation, they honoured »a composer whose musical work in films – in longstanding collaboration with director Béla Tarr – sets itself apart by cutting down to the essence. Their most recent collaborative work the impact of Víg’s minimalist and unbelievably catchy feel for notes and tones.«
