His music
Violin is always featured as the highlight of his music, and its part
– apart from some leitmotifs, recurring themes and scales – is always
improvised. His play is characterized by a cleared, easy-to-approach
improvisational style lacking unnecessary notes. Its tune – often supported
by pentatonic progressions - evolves using the scales of classical music,
Arabic maqams, Indonesian, Indian, Moldvan, African, Japanese and other folk
music.
It is basically instrumental. If vocals appear, they do so more as
instruments, rather than linguistic structures conveying verbal meanings.
His music is an unparalleled alloy of different styles. It is not hard
to discern traces of world music, jazz, trance, meditational and psychedelic
music, (ambient, trip-hop, oriental music, oriental rock, programme and
progressive music, sound painting, repetitive music, lounge, downtempo,
nu(future), experimental, fusion and world fusion jazz, crossover,) different
kinds of folk music, elements of modern and electronic music and artificial
panels all worked into it in a strikingly unique way. To give an example, in
one of his compositions a traditional blues tune appears consecutively as
meditational music, a mantra, then in Indonesian scale, even later backed by
an Arabic rhythm and finally spiced by a gong – all this in the midst of a
folk chant used for achieving a state of trance. In another one he colours a
Hungarian folk tune with African djembe, South American panpipes and
electronic parts. In certain pieces traces of further genres are absorbed in
his own personal style almost indiscernibly. This ever-changing music, as it
takes in new elements from an always widening circle of styles, abounds in
surprises and unexpected turns. Its world is impossible to get to know for
good and all, its deep spirituality is the only constant feature by which one
can always recognize it.
This might be the very reason for which Milan calls his style “Malakut”.
His music draws its listeners to a unique, profound state, which is
spiritual, philosophical and unavoidably thought-provoking. It evokes an
almost meditation-like state of consciousness. Many listeners pass through
the experience of flying.
Technical background/Instruments
In 2012 he switches from looper pedal to Ableton live.
Supported by more advanced technology, the tracks and parts of
accompaniment backing his violin multiple. These are invariably composed,
written and recorded by himself in Ableton, which he uses on a laptop in his
live concerts.
His instruments are important sources of inspiration when composing.
The ever growing array of instruments he uses at the moment
include Turkish and Arabic darbuka, karkabat, riq, djembe, daf, bongo, cajon
and other percussion instruments, Indonesian flute, didgeridoo, flute,
panpipes, kazoo, Hungarian ocarina and other wind instruments, violin,
five-string violin, electric seven-string violin, upright bass, guitar,
mandolin, tambura, saz, piano, kalimba, Tibetan singing bowl, vocal, throat
vocal, berimbau and churunga besides different noise-making devices, gadgets
and effects. His violin is amplified by a pickup. To achieve a colourful,
varied violin sound he uses a multi-effect pedal.
Concerts/Creation
Apart from his concerts he composes and performs music for theatrical,
puppet-show and merged arts performances, for dances, for scientific,
educational and other films, for exhibitions, fashion-shows, action art and
other performances.
