Video Musics is a twenty-minute multimedia video opera based on Hungarian Mythology and Folk Tales. It consists of six individual songs/videos, each offering its own compact narrative while interlocking to form a larger whole: a mystical allegory that draws searing parallels to our own times. The music draws on influences as wide-ranging as Outkast , Brian Eno, Prince, The Residents and Beck. The eerie, child-like animation recalls the work of Pee Wee's Playhouse, William Kentridge and Stan Brakhage .
