BIO
Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1959.
In the early 80ies I was a founding member and played bass in the two most important art -punk band in Hungary. Had numerous recordings, albums, gigs, tours.
In 1987 I started to do imagery with computers and during the following years I had solo and group exhibitions in Hungary, France, Poland, Austria and Germany. In 1989 I was awarded an Honorary Mention Diploma at the Prix Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria. In 1991, some of my works were selected into the Ludwig Collection. At that time I scored a soundtrack-music for a 3D animated film by John Halas and Tamas Waliczky, Memory of Moholy-Nagy. The film won the Special Award of the Jury of the IMAGINA in Monte-Carlo.
Worked as an animator/consultant at the TU Wien in Vienna in 1992. Moved and worked as a CGI Artist in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1994. In 1998 I moved to Sydney, Australia, worked here as Head of 3D Dept, later as freelance CGI artist till these days. These days I am working on my first solo album, to be released in 2022.
