It was when I replayed Ösvény which was the starting point for my collaboration with the Association of Hungarian Filmmakers from Transylvania, and the commission for the workshop to create the music for The Death of Dracula, that I realized how solid the artistic proposal was. With a group reduced to a third of its original size, with musicians playing this music for the first time, with a mix of amateurs and professionals, we found that the emotion produced by the ensemble was no less than with the usual line-up. Even though there were fewer timbres, the feeling of fullness was rediscovered because everyone was able to fill in the empty spaces by producing sounds in the spirit of the composition, with a minimum score that everyone quickly made their own. This was also the case for The Death of Dracula. Renáta Gyárfás and the Animato Quartet (Sára Domahidi, Lilla Unger, Kamilla Kasabian, Andrea László) during a workshop in Cluj Napoca, Romania.
