Drawing upon influences including Downtown New York experimentalism, contemporary classical music, jazz, and traditional music from Africa, Lukas Ligeti has developed a unique voice as a composer and improviser. His solo music on Marimba Lumina is astonishing, teasing rhythmic textures from sounds he has gathered from all over the world – sirens in Johannesburg, musicians in Burkina Faso, and weird electronic soundscapes as part percussion, part MIDI-controller, and part instrumental theatre. “…like Battles crossed with Gyorgy Ligeti’s Piano Etudes – but somehow edgier and stranger than both of them” – Guardian
