The composer Marton Illes, who was born in Budapest in 1975 and lives in Germany, studied with Detlev Müller-Siemens and Wolfgang Rihm. In 2020, he composed the violin concerto "Vont-ter" for Patricia Kopatchinskaja, a long-time partner who performs his music with total commitment: "It gives the impression that music can be tangible, truly three-dimensional, so much so that you could almost touch it, that every gesture has its own color, temperature, smell and taste," says Illes. "Sirt-ter", "Room full of tears", is a cello concerto: "I make it moan, scream or even roar hysterically to emphasize the vocal qualities that can convey human suffering." In Nicolas Altstaedt, "I have found the ideal interpreter, who grasps the dark drama of this theme with existential intuition and makes it resound with primitive power". Rajzok I consists of tuning the strings of 24 instruments to different quarter-tone intervals. A very unusual and fascinating total chordatura... In Three Sketches, electronic music merges with the sound of the violin, multiplying sensations and sound textures. Fascinated by the human psyche and the processes that take place in the human body, Illes develops music that lives, speaks and breathes.
