INSTALLATIONS
A lumino-kinetic sound installation premiered at the Lighthouse Art 2020 exhibition, Csokonai Theatre, Debrecen.
IRIS is a lumino-kinetic sound installation created in collaboration with visual artists Zalán Adorján and András Nagy. Laser beams strike a mirrored sphere moving vertically through artificial fog, dispersing light into chromatic spectra that evoke the iris of the eye and the rainbow goddess of Greek mythology. The piece has a definite beginning and end — rare for installations — giving it a performative, durational quality that the sound score was built around. Premiered at Lighthouse Art 2020, Csokonai Theatre, Debrecen, under its original title Reflectio.
INSTALLATIONS
Interactive/Live Sound Installation. A sonic exploration of action and intervention.
An interactive audio spatial installation exploring contemporary Hungarian society. The artist describes it as "a performative sound installation, an interactive experiment willing to present the space and the system we are in." Visitors navigate a multichannel soundscape and observe how their sounds and movements affect the living space, raising philosophical questions about individual agency and collective responsibility.
INSTALLATIONS
A multichannel spatial audio installation merging 16 speakers with live circus performance in Nicosia's Municipal Gardens.
For this project, the artist created an immersive outdoor spatial audio installation featuring 16 speakers positioned throughout the Municipal Gardens. During a residency period in Nicosia, J3ZZ developed a unique sound vocabulary by recording and capturing sounds produced exclusively by the human body. The 16-speaker installation, processed through Ableton Live, became the sonic backdrop for a groundbreaking performance merging circus arts and sound art. Trapeze artist Audrey Louwet from Compagnie Azeïn performed with her dog Eran, creating a visceral dialogue between aerial movement, sound, and the urban landscape at the edge of Nicosia's UN buffer zone.

LIVE ACTS
Live act collaboration with Modeo, performing as violinist in two Budapest shows in 2015 — opening for Ben Frost and Vessel at Trafó, and at the Nagyvásártelep outdoor festival alongside Lone and Mo Kolours.
J3ZZ collaborated with Modeo (with Tankó Erika, visuals by Bios) as violinist for two live performances in Budapest in 2015, employing spatial processing and heavy distortion on the violin to embrace an industrial aesthetic and dystopian vibe.
The first was at Trafó House of Contemporary Arts on April 18, 2015, as the opening act for Ben Frost (IS/AU) with *Aurora* and Vessel (UK) with *Punish Honey*, as part of Trafó's ELECTRIFY contemporary electronic music series. The second was at the Nagyvásártelep open-air festival on June 12, 2015, as Modeo + J3ZZ, sharing the bill with Lone (UK), Mo Kolours (UK), Volkova Sisters and others.
LIVE ACTS
MASSOLIT SERIES was a cycle of seven live improvisation encounters founded by J3ZZ at Massolit Books & Café, Budapest (2015). Two musicians who had never played together met on stage with no preparation, improvised while a Polaroid photograph developed before their eyes, then opened the floor for dialogue with the audience.
MASSOLIT SERIES was a concert series founded and hosted by J3ZZ at Massolit Books & Café — a cozy English-language literary bookstore and café in Budapest's Jewish Quarter. Over seven sessions from February to August 2015, J3ZZ invited musicians from Budapest's contemporary improvised and experimental scene for unplanned, one-off performances. Each session was recorded live and the complete recordings were released as a digital album on September 10, 2015.
The series featured Áron Porteleki (Series 01, 03), Ernő Zoltán Rubik (Series 02), Endre Kertész (Series 04), Bálint Bolcsó (Series 05), Zsolt Sőrés / Ahad (Series 06), and a solo performance by J3ZZ (Series 07).
LIVE ACTS
Solo violin improvisation show — nude and contemporary acoustic violin, performed live without preparation. Two recordings released on Bandcamp.
Sur le fil is a solo live act by J3ZZ — free improvisation on acoustic violin, performed alone with no preparation and no electronics. The title ("on the wire") reflects the tightrope quality of real-time solo improvisation.
The show was performed five times between 2013 and 2017, in Florence, Budapest, and Singapore. Two performances were recorded and released on Bandcamp: the premiere at Frau Frisor, Florence (September 12, 2013, 25:42) and the FKSE Studio Gallery, Budapest (July 2, 2015, 15:09).
LIVE ACTS
A cross-cultural musical collaboration with the acclaimed Tuareg ensemble TADALAT during Festival au Désert/presenze d'Africa in Florence.
A pivotal cross-cultural live performance and jam session with TADALAT, a Tuareg ensemble that emerged as a revelation at the 2012 Festival au Désert in Timbuktu. This collaboration represents a profound engagement with folk and world music traditions—particularly the desert blues and Tamashek musical heritage of the Sahara—bringing together Tuareg and Malian musicians with European artists. The ensemble bridges centuries of nomadic musical traditions with contemporary improvisation, exploring themes of cultural exchange, oral storytelling, and musical synthesis. Part of the AZALAI – Laboratoire Nomade initiative (EU Culture Programme), this work embodies J3ZZ's artistic practice of learning from and improvising within living folk traditions, grounded in his deep cultural affinity with African music through his Réunion Island heritage.
LIVE ACTS
J3ZZ performed as violinist with Samba Touré & AZALAI at Sziget Festival's World Village stage — a cross-cultural encounter uniting West African desert blues with European improvisation.
On 11 August 2012, J3ZZ performed as violinist alongside Samba Touré & AZALAI (MALI) at Sziget Festival's World Village / Afro-Latin Stage in Budapest — a 90-minute concert bringing together desert blues guitar, ngoni, calebasse, tindé, and violin in a spontaneous cross-cultural jam.
Samba Touré is a guitarist and singer from Timbuktu, Mali, heir to the griot tradition and one of the defining voices of the Malian desert blues lineage. Performing under the AZALAI banner — the cross-cultural initiative that also underpinned the Festival au Désert/presenze d'Africa editions in Florence — this encounter brought together Malian and European musicians in the spirit of open improvisation and genuine cultural exchange. For J3ZZ, it represents a direct continuation of the collaboration begun at the 2011 Festival au Désert with TARTIT, and forms part of the broader AZALAI – Laboratoire Nomade network (EU Culture Programme).
LIVE ACTS
EU-funded interdisciplinary performing arts project bringing together young music, media and dance artists from four European countries for improvisation-based performances combining visuals, music and movement.
**Talking heArts** — "Art speaks one language" — was an EU-funded (Youth in Action) interdisciplinary performing arts initiative running from February 1 to November 30, 2012. As artistic director and violinist, J3ZZ led a pan-European ensemble of 17+ young music, media, and dance artists from Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Spain.
The project's core challenge was to strongly interconnect visuals with performing activities — bringing together dancers, musicians, and media artists into a shared improvisation language. Participants developed interaction codes through hand signs, sensors with programming, defined spatial zones on stage, and techniques inspired by jazz improvisation. The resulting shows combined visuals, music, and movement into one-hour improvisation-based performances.
The project consisted of three residency phases across Europe, each culminating in a public performance: Florence (Fabbrica Europa Festival, May 2012), Budapest (Sziget Festival A38 stage, August 2012), and Bucharest (Godot Café, October 2012). A pre-show was also organized at Toldi Club, Budapest in July 2012. The network also connected with the annual Hipnotik Festival and Apolo Barcelona partnership.
Lead coordinator: Subjective Values Foundation (Budapest). Partners: Associazione culturale Fabbrica Europa (Florence), EuroEst Foundation (Bucharest), University of Barcelona–LMI (Spain).
LIVE ACTS
An innovative EU-funded cultural exchange initiative operating as an itinerant laboratory for creative experimentation connecting African and European artists across a 2013 European tour.
AZALAI – Laboratoire Nomade was an EU Culture Programme-funded itinerant collective (2012–2013) coordinated by Fabbrica Europa (Florence) as a nomadic cultural laboratory bringing together 40+ musicians from Africa, the African diaspora, and Europe. The project's name references the ancient Tuareg salt caravan route across the Sahara — a metaphor for the exchange of culture and music across geographic and cultural boundaries. Operating through residencies, workshops, jam sessions, and performances at European festivals, AZALAI functioned as an open ensemble with rotating casts of musicians at each stop. The project carried particular political significance: it coincided with the 2012–2013 Mali conflict that forced the closure of the original Festival au Désert in Timbuktu, making AZALAI's European performances a way of honoring and continuing that spirit of cross-cultural dialogue.
LIVE ACTS
A sophisticated experimental project exploring live improvisation with acoustic strings and electronics, blending disruption with harmony, and contemporary experimental aesthetics with acoustic classical roots.
HYBRIS is an experimental improvisation project co-founded by J3ZZ, exploring the intersection of classical/folk musicianship and live electronic experimentation. The project examines how musicians trained in specific genres approach improvisation while incorporating electronic effects, experimental noise, and dystopian aesthetics alongside acoustic classical traditions. Operating across 2011–2017, HYBRIS brought together J3ZZ (violin with effects), Endre Kertesz (cello), computer programming musicians from Hungary and Europe, and a visual artist from Belgium, creating a sophisticated dialogue between disruption and harmony, between tradition and experimentation.
LIVE ACTS
A cross-cultural collaboration spanning two performances at Festival au Désert/presenze d'Africa: J3ZZ performed with TARTIT (Tuareg all-female vocal ensemble) on July 21, then with combined KOUDEDE & TARTIT ensemble on July 23, bridging the musical traditions of Mali and Niger with European improvisation.
The July 2011 Festival au Désert/presenze d'Africa (2nd edition) in Florence brought together two distinct yet complementary Tuareg and Saharan musical voices. Across two nights, J3ZZ performed as violinist first with TARTIT, the acclaimed all-female vocal ensemble rooted in centuries of Tamashek ritual and social traditions, then alongside KOUDEDE, a musician and ensemble from Niger whose practice bridges traditional tendé and imzad with contemporary desert blues and electric guitar influences.
KOUDEDE emerged from the post-1996 Touareg liberation period, representing the new generation of desert musicians who synthesize ancestral tindé drum traditions with electric instruments—a lineage descended from the legendary "Jimi Hendrix of the sands." Performing with both TARTIT and KOUDEDE across consecutive nights allowed J3ZZ to engage with complementary dimensions of Saharan musicianship: the preservation of all-female vocal traditions (TARTIT) and the evolution of electric desert blues (KOUDEDE). Together, these performances embodied the Festival au Désert philosophy of cross-cultural dialogue—authentic encounter rather than exoticization, with the violin becoming a genuine conversation partner to the tendé, imzad, and desert guitar.
LIVE ACTS
J3ZZ performed as violin soloist in Summer Suite — a live work-show for 25 young dancers and musicians at the Anfiteatro delle Cascine, Florence, directed by composer Alessandro Nisticò as part of Estate Fiorentina 2011.
Summer Suite was the culminating work-show of a two-week Summer School (25 June–9 July 2011) exploring interdisciplinary creation between dance and music. Presented at the Anfiteatro delle Cascine within the frame of Estate Fiorentina 2011 by |O|R|A| (Organizzazione Risorse per le Arti) and Associazione Fabbrica Europa, the performance brought together 25 young dancers and musicians from the Florentine territory in an expressive melting pot spanning jazz, hip hop, modern dance, and pop — structured around the form of the musical suite and an original score by Alessandro Nisticò.
J3ZZ performed as violin soloist alongside the young ensemble, with more experienced musicians and peer coaches from the European network Roots&Routes, which simultaneously ran Summer Schools in Greece, Spain, and Hungary. The project was part of Roots&Routes Follow-up, an action-research initiative addressing non-formal and informal learning in artistic contexts, coordinated by the University of Barcelona and supported by the EU Lifelong Learning programme.
LIVE ACTS
A large-scale EU CULTURE 2007–2013 initiative — approximately 250 young artists from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, and Serbia co-creating a multidisciplinary performance that evolved continuously across residencies and a 9-country European tour (July 2011 – June 2013).
**EUtropia** was a large-scale collaborative performance developed under the EU CULTURE 2007–2013 programme, coordinated by jfc Medienzentrum e.V. (Germany) within the ROOTS & ROUTES International Network. Running from July 2011 to June 2013, the project brought together approximately 250 young artists from nine European countries — Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, and Serbia — to co-create a shared multidisciplinary artistic language.
Conceptually rooted in the Tower of Babel myth, EUtropia explored humanity's self-destructive tendencies and the search for a unified expressive language across cultural and linguistic boundaries. Rather than a fixed work, EUtropia was designed to evolve continuously: each national residency reimagined the performance through local artistic traditions and contemporary influences, blending rock, pop, classical, traditional, hip-hop, and ethnic aesthetics with visual and dramatic arts.
The Florence iteration at Fabbrica Europa Festival (May 4, 2012) exemplified this approach, focusing on visual languages: sophisticated lighting design, pre-photographic cultural imagery (paintings, engravings, prints), combined with digital soundscapes where music interwove with authentic recorded sounds. Nineteen artists from eight countries performed at Stazione Leopolda. The project concluded with the final performance in Utrecht (April 14, 2013), hosted by Stichting ROOTS & ROUTES.
J3ZZ served as violinist, composer, producer, and performer throughout the project, contributed to the documentary soundtrack, and coached young artists during the Lille residency.
LIVE ACTS
One of seven flagship productions in the Art'n'Go initiative — a live interdisciplinary show co-created with emerging artists from 11 European countries, blending violin, composition, contemporary dance, spoken word, and visual arts. Developed through residencies in Germany and performed across major European festivals in 2010–2011.
**Reality in Disguise** is one of seven independent artistic productions created under **Art'n'Go – New Routes to Intercultural Creativity**, a landmark ROOTS & ROUTES umbrella initiative supported by the EU CULTURE Programme (September 2009 – August 2011).
**The Art'n'Go Project Structure:** Art'n'Go commissioned original proposals from young artists who had previously collaborated through ROOTS & ROUTES initiatives. These artists became authors, directors, and managers of their own independent productions, which were then collectively showcased across major European festivals between May and August 2011. The seven productions (About Traffic, Braincheck, Coloured Life, Ether Sides, My World, Reality in Disguise, Traces) represented a coordinated strategy to promote intercultural creativity and cultural dialogue between Eastern and Western Europe.
**J3ZZ's Role:** J3ZZ participated as violinist, composer, and co-creator, contributing to a show described as "a shockingly unique mixture of art genres from contemporary dance to pop music, from dub step to slam poetry, from the art of storytelling to visual arts." The work was developed during intensive residencies at Akademie der Kulturellen Bildung in Remscheid and the artistic development space in Heek (Germany), and performed at three major European festivals: Roots&Routes Cologne (August 2010, premiere), Fabbrica Europa Festival in Florence (May 2011), and Sziget Festival in Budapest (August 2011).

The composer was commissioned to create music for choreographer Tímea Sebestyén's contemporary dance work.
The composer was commissioned to create music for choreographer Tímea Sebestyén's contemporary dance work. The soundtrack comprises several compositions including a series titled "Tape," referencing machinery invented by Dr. William Moulton Marston, creator of Wonder Woman. The composer incorporated "sound references to the different mechanical parts" and piano hammer sounds representing the character's voice. Additional tracks included "Nutter," addressing "a lost mind leaning towards schizophrenia," and a remixed version of "False Truths" for the performance climax. The performance examines Wonder Woman as "a female ideal created by dr. William Moulton Marston," exploring her character through a female perspective. It investigates "layers of our personality through our desires, sexuality, and fears," questioning concepts of female power and identity.
The work has been produced by multiple companies: the original 2019 premiere at MU Theatre Budapest under Tímea Sebestyén's choreography, and a subsequent 2020 production by the Imre Zoltán Program at Latinovits-Bujtor Játékszín in Veszprém.

WORKSHOPS
WORKSHOPS
Educational workshops and ateliers exploring plant biosonification through the collective "Nout plant i chant". Participants learn to capture plant vibrations and transform them into melodies using sensor technology.
Biosonification Workshops are educational ateliers facilitated by J3ZZ and the collective "Nout plant i chant" that teach participants how plants can "sing" by using sensors to capture their vibrations and convert them into melodies. These immersive, participatory experiences aim to reconnect people with the plant world while raising awareness about botanical diversity, particularly Réunion's endemic flora.
The workshops combine science, art, and ecology through hands-on experimentation with the vibrotanica device technology. The three-atelier format (Zilien, Robinson, J3ZZ) explores different connections between botany and sound: theatre/music/herbalism, graphic transcription and botanical illustration, and plant-listening instrument design. Held across multiple locations in Réunion and other regions, these ateliers serve students, educators, and general audiences in natural and cultural settings.
The vibrotanica box device, developed since 2019, converts plant biodata into sound through sensors and specialized software. The school-based program "Vibrotanica dann lékol" brings this technology into educational curricula, combining electronic music, ecology, and music informatics for student-centered learning and musical creation.
