LEVENTE DUDAS “LEV”
I was born in Backa Topola, former Yugoslavia, now Serbia, and in my early life influenced by rock and progressive music and later on by the composers Schoenberg and Xenakis – a gamechanger for me! Suddenly, an exciting sonic world opened up for me and suggested the possibilities for my own music and what sound worlds could be realised.
Electroacoustic and free improvised music are two fields I have a particular interest in, as a performer and listener, and exploring the potential of instrumental and sonic combinations is perhaps my mission statement – a key aesthetic in my practice. Since 2019 I have resumed my sonic explorations with my goal being to learn as much about sound production seeking a unique signature through experimentation and the manipulation of ambient noise and the textures.
More recently I have been performing at various venues in London, Chelmsford, and Southend alongside many players from the sound art and improvisation scene – Kate Carr, Phil Durrant, John Bisset, Tasos Stamou, Stephanos Chytiris, Trevor Taylor, Bryan Styles and Matt Atkins, to name a few.
