Barabás Lőrinc - trumpet, synths, loop station & sound modulators
Hungarian trumpeter and composer Barabás Lőrinc has been a key player and driving
force in Budapest’s improvised music scene for nearly two decades. His various
formations and improvisational club nights take him to the frontiers of jazz, electronic and
neoclassical music.
In his solo live act, he uses the trumpet, piano, synths, loop station and sound modulators
to perform his contemporary, partly improvisational compositions. At times, he creates a
meditative atmosphere; at others, he weaves a more rhythmic fabric, moving towards
dance or electronica but never turning his back on jazz or classical playing. His multi-
instrumental performance is worth listening to and watching, as it is spectacular and
unique.
Lőrinc Barabás started his solo career with his 2013 album Sastra, followed by Elevator
Dance Music in 2015 and Algorhythms in 2019. His latest album, "22", released at the end
of 2023, shows another face of him: the minimalist, repetitive pieces are close in spirit to
the neoclassical movement of Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds.
