Zoltan Lantos Opensource – Hungary

Zoltán Lantos e un violonist care e acasa in toate culturile muzicale din lume, dar care a faurit o limba sonica doar a lui. A aparut pe scena jazz Est-Europeana in timp ce studia la Academia de Musica din Budapesta, orasul lui natal. la scurt timp dupa ce si-a luat diploma in voara clasica, Lantos a pornit intr-o calatorie muzicala remarcabila. Atras de experimental si muzica din est, a calatorit in India, in 1985, pentru a studia muzica clasica indiana. Acolo, "biologia" unei singure note - viata launtrica, neauzita si necantata a sunetului ("Anahata Swara”) e cea mai importanta. In India a descoperit ceea ce a devenit punctul focal a vietii sale muzicale: experienta momentului existent si viu, arta improvizatiei. In 1994, dupa 9 ani de studiat, calatorit, predat si interpretat in India, Lantos a revenit in Europa. Compunand piese noi, a inceput sa-si redescopere radacinile muzicale si si-a gasit propriul limbaj, amestecand traditiile unguresti si clasice cu muzica estica si jazzul european contemporan. De-a lungul anilor, calatoria muzicala a lui Lantos l-a adus alaturi de multi muzicieni mari, atat pe scena, cat si in studio. A lucrat si inregistrat cu numerosi artisti, precum Ferenc Snétberger, Kornél Horváth, László Dés, Márta Sebestyén, Mihály Dresch, Gábor Juhász, Zsolt Kaltenecker din Ungaria, dar si cu Charlie Mariano, Dhafer Youssef, Palle Mikkelborg, Ramesh Shotham, Nicolas Simion, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Rabih Abou-Khalil, Urna Chahartugchi si multi altii. Pe scena a cantat, sau a facut turnee cu Loreena McKennitt, Al DiMeola, Larry Corryell, Didier Lockwood, Paolo Fresu, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Steve Coleman, George Brooks, Trilok Gurtu, Nils Petter Molvaer and Eivind Aarset. Proiectul de baza a lui Lantos, incepand cu 1999, a fost grupul "Mirrorworld", iar in prezent proiectul "Open Source" (fondat in 2011) ia o directie mai electronica, orientata pe loop-uri si groove. Dupa mai multe schimbari in line-up, noua trupa, formata din Áron Tálas la clape, Tibor Fonay la bass, László Csízi tobe si DJ-ul Andrew J, si-a dat primul concert in naoiembrie 2012, la MÜPA (Palatul Artelor) in Budapesta, impreuna cu trompetistul norvegian Nils Petter Molvaer si chitaristul Eivind Aarset, cat si solistele invitate din Ungaria Veronika Harcsa, Kátya Tompos si percutionistul Kornél Horváth

Zoltán Lantos is a violinist who is at home in musical cultures from across the globe — but has forged a sonic language all his own.

He appeared on the Eastern-European jazz scene while studying at the Music Academy in his hometown, Budapest. But shortly after earning his degree in classical violin, Lantos embarked on a remarkable musical journey. Drawn to experimental and eastern music, he traveled to India in 1985 to study classical Indian music. There, the “biology” of a single note — the life of the inner, unheard and unplayed sound (“Anahata Swara”) is of the utmost importance. In India he discovered what became the focal point of his musical life: the experience of existing in a living moment, the art of improvisation.

In 1994, after 9 years of studying, traveling, teaching, and performing in India, Lantos returned to Europe. Composing new pieces he began rediscovering his musical roots and found his own language by blending Hungarian and classical traditions with Eastern music and contemporary European jazz.Over the years Lantos’ musical voyage has brought him together with many great musicians on stage and in the studio. He has been working and recording with various artists like Ferenc Snétberger, Kornél Horváth, László Dés, Márta Sebestyén, Mihály Dresch, Gábor Juhász, Zsolt Kaltenecker from his native Hungary as well as Charlie Mariano, Dhafer Youssef, Palle Mikkelborg, Ramesh Shotham, Nicolas Simion, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Rabih Abou-Khalil, Urna Chahartugchi and many others. On stage he performed or toured with such as Loreena McKennitt, Al DiMeola, Larry Corryell, Didier Lockwood, Paolo Fresu, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Steve Coleman, George Brooks, Trilok Gurtu, Nils Petter Molvaer and Eivind Aarset.

Lantos’ main project since 1999 was the group “Mirrorworld” and his current project “OpenSource” (founded in 2011) is taking a more electronic, loop- and groove-oriented direction. After some changes of the lineup the new band — with Áron Tálas on keyboards, Tibor Fonay on bass, László Csízi on drums and the DJ Andrew J — gave it’s first concert in november 2012 at MÜPA (Palace of Arts) in Budapest with the Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer and electric guitarist Eivind Aarset, as well as Hungarian guest singers Veronika Harcsa, Kátya Tompos and the percussionist Kornél Horváth.
