Fluidian

Born: August 6, 1973

Due to his playing techniques like wind-guitar (blowing across the strings) or bowed-guitar (using a violin bow), manipulated with electronics and using his own minimalistic textural concept, his music transforms into a contemplative, floating sound journey.
Initially self-taught, he studied and graduated in music composition, mentored by award-winning composer Ede Terényi, at the Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Fluidian is best known for his solo performances, but has also been collaborate with artists like Arve Henriksen, Tibor Szemző, László Gőz, Ede Terényi, Petre Ionuțescu, Paul Taylor, Sándor Szabó, Roland Heidrich and many more.
