Born in Hungary, piano studies in Switzerland, composition studies with the German composers Detlev M�ller-Siemens and Wolfgang Rihm - M�rton Ill�s' extremely self-willed intensity of expression is inspired by many different spheres of influence. This intensity is reflected in his "Scene polidimensionali" in an exemplary way. To Ill�s, his tonal lines here symbolize individuals who must interact, run parallel and conflict with each other in imaginary theatrical realms. So the voices communicate on a higher level, sending and receiving infinitesimal signals as if along neural pathways. Ill�s places different emphases in his "Torso" cycle. Typical of this cycle are motivic splinters and angular rhythmic particles that are subsumed in a rigorously constructed formal design permeated by lines of fracture. Despite the highly abstract differentiation, M�rton Ill�s views his music as a response to the world and as the consequence of an intuitive confrontation with it's superfluity of enticements and hardships. But dialectically woven into this approach is a withdrawal into Ill�s' own 'island of sound'. At root, it conceals a "romantic" approach whose acoustical forms remain fully beholden to the here and now.
