Lőrinc Barabás (born March 10, 1983) is a Hungarian trumpeter and composer who works in jazz, electronic, and neoclassical music.[1] His father is the painter Márton Barabás.[2]
Education
At age 12, Barabás began playing the trumpet.[2] He studied jazz trumpet at the Kőbányai Music Studio from 1999 to 2001, and later attended the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, where he earned a diploma as a jazz trumpet teacher and performer in 2006.[3] In 2011, he completed the SAE Institute Electronic Music Production Course in New York City.[3]
Career
During his university years, Barabás played with several bands, including Soulwhat in Hong Kong and the Uptown Felaz band at the Noosa Jazz Festival in Australia.[3] With Uptown Felaz, he co-produced the soundtrack for the film Kész Cirkusz, which won the Best Original Soundtrack award at the Hungarian Film Festival in 2005.[3] He was also a member of Irie Maffia from 2005 to 2009.[3]
Between 2005 and 2010, Barabás organized a weekly improvisational music series in Budapest called Random Szerda, which led to the release of a compilation album, Small Talk, in 2008.[4] In 2005, he formed his own band, Barabás Lőrinc Eklektric, which blended jazz-funk and pop. The band released two albums, Ladal (2007) and Trick (2009), before disbanding in 2010.[4]
After moving to London from 2009 to 2010, Barabás shifted his focus to electronic music. He began using loop stations to layer his trumpet sound, a technique featured on his 2013 solo album Sastra.[3] Material from this album was used in the documentary Élet a Dunán. His 2015 album, Elevator Dance Music, explored the combination of instrumental and electronic music.[3]
The Barabás Lőrinc Quartet was formed in 2015, featuring Zoltán Cséry on keyboards, Attila Herr on bass, and Zsolt Nagy on drums. The group's music combines jazz with electronic elements.[5]
Barabás has collaborated with artists including Erik Truffaz, Nicola Conte, Takuya Kuroda, Niklas Paschburg, and Valerie June.[1]
