Rossz Csillag Allat Sz letett is his 12th studio album and most mature work yet. Inspired by a trip to Hungary while on European tour, Funk found himself on the Kir lyi Palota (Budapest's Royal Palace) imagining himself as a pigeon. Oct 15, 2013 Combining delicious symphonic strings and ambient soundscapes, Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett is perhaps one of Aaron Funk’s finest pieces of work. Inspired by a journey to Hungary, the album is an earnest reimagining of the melancholic side to Hungarian culture, ‘Ongyilkos vasarnap’ being a cover of a Hungarian suicide song. Aug 16, 2012 Now that my account is enabled for long videos, I may start putting a few full albums up. I won't make a habit of it, though, cause I'd like to keep my privi. Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett buy CD music Then field recordings of natural sound effects - wind, rain, water, birdsong reprogrammed into beats - the overall aim being to create music with the energy and production techniques of studio-produced beats, but replacing synths and drum machines with natural/acoustic sounds and instruments. I mean, he’s organized some hefty experimentation over the past 5-6 years like the Jungle/Dub soaked ‘Detrimentalist’ and the gorgeous classical/IDM driven ‘Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett’, but his overall gist has solely remained in the breakcore and IDM field.

Rossz Csillag Alatt Született (Hungarian: [ˈross ˈt͡ʃillɒɡ ˈɒlɒtt ˈsylɛtɛtt]) is a 2005 album by Canadian electronic music producer Venetian Snares, released on the Planet Mu label. Inspired by a visit to Hungary, the album title and all of the track names are in Hungarian; Rossz Csillag Alatt Született translates to 'Born Under the Wrong Star ',[4] a Hungarian expression which means 'cursed from birth'. Statistically, the album consists of classical strings and brass combined with breakbeats.
Overview[edit]
The concept of the album came when Aaron Funk imagined himself as a pigeon on Budapest's Királyi Palota (Royal Palace).[5] Its third track, 'Öngyilkos Vasárnap' is a cover of the song 'Szomorú Vasárnap' ('Gloomy Sunday') by Hungarian composer Rezső Seress, which has been referred to as the Hungarian suicide song. According to urban legend, Seress's song has inspired the suicide of multiple people, including his fiancée. The song was reportedly banned in Hungary.[2] It has also been covered by many artists. Billie Holiday's vocals are sampled in this track.[4]
The album also samples various pieces of classical music:
- The first movement of Béla Bartók's fourth string quartet, in track two.
- The second of Igor Stravinsky's '3 Pieces for Clarinet', in track five.
- The first movement of Gustav Mahler's 3rd Symphony (trombone solo), in track five.
- Measures 121-128 (14), 134 (15) and 144 (16) of Bartók's first string quartet (third movement), in track five.
- Niccolò Paganini's 7th Caprice in A minor, in track five.
- The beginning of the solo part of Franz Waxman's Carmen Fantasie in track five.
- The first and third measure of the fourth movement of Bartók's sixth string quartet, in track six.
- Sir Edward Elgar's 'Cello Concerto in E Minor, Op. 85', in track eight.
- The second movement of Sergei Prokofiev's Quintet in G Minor in track eight.
- The Siciliana of Fantasia No. 9 from Georg Philipp Telemann's Twelve Fantasias, in track ten.
While there were no official music videos released with the album, artist David O'Reilly produced an unofficial computer generated video for Szamár Madár.[6]

AllMusic | [7] |
Pitchfork | 7.5/10[4] |
Sputnikmusic | 4.5/5[8] |
Tiny Mix Tapes | 5/5[2] |
Alan Ranta of Tiny Mix Tapes praised Rossz Csillag Alatt Született as Funk's 'most accomplished album to date' and described it as being 'of uncouth beauty that is at once sublime, timeless, cinematic, sporadic, and moving from start to finish.'[2]Sputnikmusic writer Nick Greer hailed it as an 'absolutely amazing' release that 'truly excels in how it shifts paradigms in unexpected ways'.[8] William Tilland of AllMusic called the album 'typically uncompromising and unsettling, although it is certainly constructed with great technical skill and maintains an abrasive beauty throughout.'[7] Cameron MacDonald of Pitchfork was more reserved in his praise and felt that 'Funk's percussive palate could have ventured beyond the standard-issued 'Amen' breakbeats', while concluding that 'Rossz's totality still possesses nerves that can cast shadows that never dissipate away from the mind.'[4]
Tiny Mix Tapes ranked Rossz Csillag Alatt Született the 25th best album of 2005 and the 31st best album of the 2000s.[9][10] In 2014, Resident Advisor critic Hugh Taylor described it as 'one of breakcore's most important albums'.[1] In 2017, Pitchfork placed it at number 25 on its list of 'The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time'.[3]

Capitalization[edit]
- The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was no consensus - Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 20:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Is it certain that the title and the track titles are all capitalized? It looks terrible in Hungarian. (The scanned title cover shows all letters in capitals, which needn't be specifically rendered as capitalized words.) -- Adam78 01:41, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
- I have corrected the capitalization and given translations for the song titles. – KovacsUr 20:20, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
How album title spells? requesting an IPA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.154.221.100 (talk • contribs) 07:27, 19 August 2006
I've corrected some translations (szerencsétlen = (literally) luckless, dal = song). Furthermore I'd translate the word kétsarkú as double-heeled, because a native Hungarian would say bipoláris for bipolar--instead of the somewhat weird word kétsarkú. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.112.206.162 (talk • contribs) 21:24, 11 November 2006
- The titles were most likely translated to Hungarian from English, hence the awkward 'kétsarkú'. I honestly do not think 'sikertelenség' and 'szerencsétlen' need a 'literal' translation; these are completely valid forms, part of the normal Hungarian vocabulary. KovacsUr 20:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I've put in a request to get this page moved to Rossz Csillag Alatt Született because convention states that albums should have title capitalization. = ∫tc5th Eye 01:50, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- I strongly oppose this move. English capitalization rules should not be applied to album titles in languages other than English. KovacsUr (talk) 07:17, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- All three of the offsite reviews use caps for the title, and WP:CAPS tells us to go with the capitalization of our sources in English, regardless of the capitalization usual for the native language. Dekimasuよ! 05:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- You can't expect a casual reviewer (or even Aaron Funk himself, actually) to be knowledgeable about Hungarian (Spanish, French, German etc.) capitalization rules. An encyclopaedia, however, should use correct capitalization whenever possible. The only reason I can think of not to use correct capitalization may be to save the ungodly amount of effort required to keep the correct form from being reverted to the incorrect one. KovacsUr (talk) 12:47, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Even if it really is written in lower capitals in Hungarian, I agree with User:Dekimasu. All the infobox links and the two references links all write it in capitals, so we should follow others lead. Callmederek (talk) 20:31, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have corrected all references several times; they are reverted from time to time by people who think the capitalization is incorrect. See my comment above. KovacsUr (talk) 12:47, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Real Instruments?[edit]
![Szuletett Szuletett](/uploads/1/2/4/3/124396472/848558791.jpg)
I was just reading some reviews of this, and most of them say that Funk learned violin and trumpet and played those parts himself for this album. Can anyone shed some light on this? My sources were http://tinymixtapes.com/musicreviews/v/venetian_snares.htm and http://www.amazon.com/Rossz-Csillag-Szuletett-Venetian-Snares/dp/B0007QN900 . 59.167.238.141 (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
translation[edit]
I've reverted an edit by an anonymous editor with a history of mischievous edits, who changed the translation of Öngyilkos vasárnap' from 'Suicidal Sunday' to 'Gloomy Sunday'. Although I don't speak Hungarian, it seems clear from both this page and the page for the original song that the Hungarian word 'szomorú' translates as 'gloomy'. I'm assuming that Aaron Funk renamed the song in order to acknowledge the mythology of suicide associated with the song: it would be helpful if someone with a grasp of Hungarian could confirm this ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 20:35, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Rossz csillag alatt született[edit]
The current translation in the article is 'Born under a Bad Star'. I'm partly Hungarian and I interpreted the title as 'Born under the wrong star' before reading this article. I know the sentence can be translated either way, but somehow the latter sounds more correct to me (but I can't really say why, but I think I've heard the latter phrase in other contexts). I'm not gonna edit, but this is just a note about it if anyone else is wondering. --217.211.254.193 (talk) 11:32, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
