Ivan Vandor (13 October 1932 – 15 November 2020) was an Italian composer, musician and ethnomusicologist of Hungarian origin.
Born in Pécs, Vandor moved to Rome, Italy with his family in 1938.[1]
He began studying the violin at 6 and piano at 8, and, from 1948 to 1954, was tenor sax in the group Roman New Orleans Jazz Band.[1] He was later also a member of the avant-garde groups Musica Elettronica Viva and Gruppo di Improvvisazione di Nuova Consonanza.[2] In 1959, he graduated in Composition with Goffredo Petrassi at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory[3] and in 1962 he obtained Italian citizenship.[1]
Having graduated in ethnomusicology from U.C.L.A., he authored several books and essays. His compositions include several notable soundtracks, such as Mino Guerrini's Date for a Murder (1967), Giulio Questi's Django Kill (1967), Nelo Risi's Diary of a Schizophrenic Girl (1968) and Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger (1975).[4]
An album of his chamber works is published on the label Stradivarius.
