The "Gâyan Uttejak Society" offers you an imaginary journey throughout the entire Amygdala empire in the spirit of the ethno-musicology expeditions at the turn of the century.

"Traditional Music Of Amygdala" is a musicological-sociological fiction with a great past in a human culture concerning ceremony of alienation and death, wrapped in rituals and mysteries. Amygdala (sorpus Amygdaloideum) is to be found in our brain; hidden there are human "behaviour", genetically inherited and the insinct system formed by culture and environment.

The world is being totally reorganized by the modern industrial societies with their overwhelming superiority in technology and dynamic expansion, and all the traditional cultures which are alien to their technologically "homogeneous" societies are doomed to extinction. Therefore a real possibility exists that the traditional cultures will out before they can get into "world-culture" circulation.

Bearing all of this in mind the "Gâyan Uttejak Society" was set up in 1981 in Budapest, Hungary by Lâszlô Hortobâgyi, since then it has been acting - among other things - as a music studio and includes a remarkable library of oriental music, the only one in Eastern Europe. It was named after the hindu-moslem musician's society (1884-1917) founded by V. N. Bhâtkhânde.

The members of the Gâyan Uttejak Society in Budapest have made it their duty to practice and to study classical indian music.
