“Salt is necessary not only for taste but for survival,  so think of that in the aesthetic realm: it’s a matter of taste, but we do need it for our own survival.”

When asked about the origins of the festival, Biró says “We thought there needs to be more new music, and a more strategic effort to play technically challenging and innovative new music,” he says. “As a composer and performer of new music, I specialize in music that is innovative, has a diversity of musical language, explores new musical experiences and new technical problems or possibilities.”
