Ligeti experienced various styles of new music: serialism, aleatoric music, fluxus, and electronic music he developed a new compositional technique that he called micropolyphony, kaleidoscopic compositional methods Ligeti was interested in science and math although there was some musical background in the family. In his childhood, Ligeti had a vigorous imagination. He liked to express his own imaginary world by naming objects in nature or habitually composing short melodies and crooning songs. Ligeti made an imaginary world, Kylwiria, to express his creative talent. In this imaginary world, he created a detailed city map, a legal system, and even a perfectly logical language. Throughout his life, Kylwiria was to be a perfect utopia in his mind, and it nearly made an appearance in his opera in 1974.
