Zoltán Jeney

Zoltán Jeney has been played on NTS shows including Jim O'Rourke, with Landscape Ad Hoc first played on 19 June 2018.

Zoltán Jeney (Szolnok, Hungary, March 4, 1943 – October 28, 2019) was a Hungarian composer.

Jeney first studied piano and attended Pongrácz's composition classes at the Debrecen Secondary Music School, later continuing composition studies with Ferenc Farkas at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest (1961–66), and the pursuing postgraduate studies with Goffredo Petrassi at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome (1967–68).

Jeney's earliest compositions show the influence of Béla Bartók, Luigi Dallapiccola, Anton Webern, Alban Berg, the new Polish school, György Kurtág, and Zsolt Durkó. In the late 1960s, he began to take an interest in Pierre Boulez's theories, Karlheinz Stockhausen's compositions, and oriental philosophy—a direction intensified as a result of his contact with Cage's thought. In the 1970s Jeney began composing music in the minimal style,[citation needed] and his works are often characterized by an extremely spare and static quality.

Since 1986 Jeney was a professor at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary where, since 1995, he served as Head of the Department of Composition. Several of his compositions were released on the Hungaroton label.
