“Glory and Lamentation” is an abstract interpretation of Budapest’s history, presented in three chapters with matching rhythm, tones, and colors, portraying the progression of events in the physical world. Each world line has a distinct present, while the past is a singular point in time. By fusing the three parts, a novel audio-visual experience is formed, resulting in a composition of visual music. BINÁLÉ was the original venue for the piece’s debut.
