about

Mihály Víg (Artist: Víg Mihály or Vig Mihály) is a Hungarian composer and poet, internationally renowned for his work with film director Béla Tarr. He was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1957 to a family of musicians, most notably his father, whom researched folk music at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Víg was a notable musician in the Hungarian musical underground before gaining prominence as a film composer in the 1990s. In 1979, he founded the band Balaton, with whom he still performs. Between 1980 and 1987 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.
