With this title Incomplete Synopsys they want to represent undefinable music career. After some pop success and the mainstream adventures they are trying to bridge the gap between their older experimental tracks and their new conception. In this event they plan to play some new versions of their earlier songs and some brand new stuff. In their spacey performance they use numerous associations from films and literature. At this special occasion their featuring singer George Ligeti will be playing on acoustic guitar also.
 



Part of the burgeoning Eastern European electronica scene, Hungarian band Žagar started out as three-fifth of the Yonderboi Quintet. After a few years and some critical success, keyboard player Balázs Zságer (Zagar’s namesake), guitarist Andor Kovács and scratcher Dj Bootsie splintered off to form their own sound, eventually adding drummer Tibor Lázár and bassist Ákos Zságer-Varga to round out the group.
 

The newer sound somewhat more experimental and tough much of the aesthetic is complementary. After a hugely successful(and highly acclaimed by the Hungarian media) debut album, Local Broadcast, the band shifted into some soundtrack territory, releasing the backing to a local feature, Eastern Sugar. The band has branched into further soundtrack scoring opportunities, most notably in the American CSI series.
 



They were nominated for the Regional Award in the MTV European Music Awards 2009. Žagar were supported Depeche Mode at the Budapest leg of the Tour of the Universe 2009. Now they released worldwide their latest album with remixes of their hit single Wings of Love on the German label Mole Listening Pearls.
