Panta Rhei were a Hungarian rock band, known for their progressive rock recordings and adaptations of classical music, for which they created synthesizers, such as the Muzix81 system. The band name refers to the philosophy of Heraclitus. ==History== Panta Rhei formed in Hungary in 1974, consisting of Kálmán Matolcsy who played keyboards and synthesizers, Alex Szalay on guitar, András Szalay on bass and Csaba Béke on drums. They designed and built their own kinds of synthesizers. Between 1974 and 1982 they played various styles of music ranging from jazz to progressive rock. In 1976 Miklós Kiss briefly joined the group, and contributed to a track for the ''Bartók'' album. Also in 1976 Enikő Ács joined the band as a vocalist and Csaba Béke returned on drums, contributing to the other tracks of the ''Bartók'' album recorded between 1975-1977. However, this album with adaptations of Béla Bartók's works was never released due to objections by the Bartók family. The recordings were supposed to be released again on the ''Epilogus'' 2 CD version twenty years later, but the Bartók family objected again, so the CD was reduced to a single, and the unpublished material is only available on the web (). By 1980 Panta Rhei released their first album titled ''Panta Rhei'', having a sound different from the jazz rock and classical adaptations of the rock days of the band, with a more progressive rock / pop rock crossover sound. By then, Enikő Ács and Csaba Béke had left and were replaced by András Laár on guitar and vocals and András Schmitt on drums. Both Schmitt and Laár remained in Panta Rhei until 1981, assuming drummer Béke would return. In 1982 the band performed their last concert and the band also broke up in 1982, returning to their familiar Symphonic Prog Rock sound. In 1981 singer and guitarist András Laár would go on to form the Hungarian new wave and pop rock band KFT. After Panta Rhei ended in 1982, in 1983 they continued recording under the banner of "P.R. Computer" and released an album of the same name which sold over 80,000 copies and established their noticeable work. The album was recorded with entirely electronic music, using the latest custom built synthesizers and computers, hence the new name "P.R. Computer". P.R. can be read as progressive rock or Panta Rhei, P.R. Computer was active up until 1989. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Panta Rhei (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
