Életrajz
Gyula Pintér was born in Hungary in 1954.
He studied piano with Lídia Csebiss and
composition with Zoltán Pongrácz and János
Kautsky (in Holland). Since 1978, he undertook
electroacoustic musical experiments in his
studio, which he designed himself. Highly
active in his field since 1980, he has regularly
participated in many musical and fine arts
events and festivals. He has also contributed
to numerous art events, performances, and
theatrical productions both across Hungary
and around the world. Between 1985 and
1990, he attended a number of courses in
composition, including in Paris (IRCAM), Utrecht (Institute of Sonology),
Amsterdam, and many more. He is a multi-award-winning composer, and in
1989 won a special award for his composition, Shrinking Times, at the Bourges
International Electroacoustic Music Competition. By 1992, he had gone on
to win both 1st and 2nd Prizes at the Hungarian Radio Electroacoustic Music
Competition, as well as 1st (1999) and 2nd Prizes (1995) at the Hungarian
Radio International Composition Competition. In 2001, his work, Les cloches
de flammes roses, was awarded the first prize at the Bourges International
Electroacoustic Music Competition, and he was the recipient of the Erkel
Prize in 2012. He was also a multi-award-winner at the MÜPA Composers’
Competition in 2020. He regularly participates in Hungarian contemporary
music concerts and festivals, including: Music of Our Time, Hungarian Radio,
Con Tempo, ArsNova, Valley of Arts, Bartók Festival, Szeged Vántus Days,
