Reflecting on Szerencsétlen

I was at Virgin Records in New York last spring when I was struck by a song playing unlike anything I'd ever heard. It turned out to be "Szerencsétlen" by electronic artist Venetian Snares. It opens like a contemporary classical composition, with sharp, fragmented strings and pizzicato, before erupting into an electronic frenzy. Imagine an army of computers crashing into an orchestra. It is remarkable how he unites discordant pieces (not to mention genres) into such harmonious music.

Here's a brilliant fan-made video for the song:

Can't really go wrong with Venetian Snares and the best cartoon series ever.
