Towards Completeness (1945) is a short poetical prose by Sándor Weöres. My father, Daniel Gryllus wrote music of some of its sentences. He recorded all of the parts himself in the 1980´s. It was published for the 60th birthday of the poet. In 2010, when my father turned to 60 I re-arranged his work for his friends and colleagues, all of them are for me iconic figures of the contemporary Hungarian world-music-scene (whatever this category means:)
