Lukas Ligeti
(USA)
Transcending the boundaries of genre, composer-percussionist Lukas Ligeti has developed a musical style of his own that draws on Downtown New York experimentalism, contemporary classical music, jazz, electronica, as well as world music, particularly from Africa. Afrikan Machinery, released on John Zorn’s Tzadik label to great acclaim, features a selection of Ligeti’s compositions for electronics that reveal an inspiring new take on the dialogue between African and Western music achieved through ingenious use of sampling and music technology.
