Laszlo Vidovszky

Soft Errors

László Vidivszky's work entitled Soft Errors (1989) might be described as a serendipitous find: as a result of a 'chance computer event', from the fragments of music it contained Vidovszky's computer created a sequence, and the computer's owner 'merely' instrumented this. From the bare sound and intellectual, indeed comic elements there emerges the characteristic voice that may be styled as 'Vidovszky's peculiar melancholy'. The premiere of the work took place in October 1989 in Budapest, it was performed by the Componenensemble, conducted by Zsolt Serei.
