About

gab prof 4 bw

Coming from a versatile musical background as a performing musician and composer, Gabor specializes in electronic, electro-acoustic music and soundscapes for contemporary music and dance performances, films, audiovisual installations, and ArtTech projects.

He began his musical training with classical studies in childhood, later graduating from the jazz department of the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest. He went on to earn an M.A. in jazz at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where he also expanded his studies to include improvisation and compositional techniques of South Indian music. Since then, Gabor has continued to evolve his sound, integrating electro-acoustic and purely electronic elements across a wide range of collaborations — first in Amsterdam, and later in Berlin, where he is currently based.
