Hungarian composer and actor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mihály Víg (born 1957, Budapest) is a Hungarian composer,[1] poet, songwriter, guitarist, singer and actor.
Born into a family of musicians. He is the co-founder of bands Trabant (1980–1986) and Balaton (1979–present).[2] Although the bands' songs were not officially released in the 1980s, they became underground hits. He composed film scores for the films of János Xantus, András Szirtes, Ildikó Szabó, Péter Müller Sziámi and Béla Tarr. He also plays the lead role - Irimiás - in the film Sátántangó. His score for the film The Turin Horse was nominated for the European Film Prize for Best Composer in 2011. He also appears in the cast of Gábor Fabricius' film Erasing Frank.[3]
In 1986, at the invitation of Tamás Pajor, he and his wife became members of the Faith Church. After a short time he left the religious community in disappointment, but the memory of this bitter encounter stayed with him for the rest of his life, and for a long time caused him a creative crisis.[4] In 2020, he made serious accusations in László Bartus's book, Fesz lesz, against the congregation and personally against Sándor Németh, the leading pastor of the congregation, in connection with the loss of his wife and son.[5]
