**László Hortobágyi - Gáyan Uttejak Orchestra**
László Hortobágyi is a boundary-pushing composer and ethnomusicologist known for his experimental fusion of global traditions and futuristic soundscapes. With his Gáyan Uttejak Orchestra, he crafts what he calls “Bionomic Music”—a hypnotic blend of ancient instruments (like Indian sitars, Tibetan horns, and Middle Eastern lutes) layered with electronic processing and surreal textures. Since the late ’80s, albums like *Transmeccano-Replica* (1987) and *Corpus Arcadia* (1992) have showcased his knack for weaving ritualistic rhythms and cross-cultural melodies into immersive, otherworldly journeys.
Thematically, Hortobágyi’s work often orbits planetary consciousness and mythic futurism, evident in releases like *Gaia Dei* and *Metagaia 2015*. Whether channeling cryptic prophecies in *Hortadamus* (1996) or reimagining folk traditions on *Antim Bháratiya Sangeet Sammelan* (1993), his music feels like a time-traveling portal. The Gáyan Uttejak Orchestra—its name evoking a collective “awakening”—remains his vehicle for exploring humanity’s sonic DNA, one trippy, genre-defying album at a time.
