Zoltan recorded sounds around 3MDR's Forest Park Homestead Studios and turned them into a beautiful live soundscape performance.
Zoltan’s musical evolution traces back to his childhood growing up in Budapest, studying classical piano from an early age. His passion for music would continue into university, where his fascination for electroacoustic music was born.
With designs in hand and an opportunity to work with renowned instrument builder Ian Noyce, the pair began a 12-month journey to fulfill Zoltan’s vision for performing live. Their creation – an acoustic guitar with MIDI capabilities – boldly showcased Zoltan’s imaginative vision in fusing organic instrumentation with the endless possibilities of electronic programming.Inspired by pointillism, a painting technique using small dots to create cohesive images, Zoltan embraced this limitation and began working with repeating fragments of single notes. The title and artwork for 'Shimmer Raga' is acquired from a painting by the artist Claire Lefebvre, whose work deeply influenced the album.
