Žagar AV Experience is a collaboration between Balázs Zságer musician, and Kati Katona visual artist. Zságer is the keyboardist-producer of the Hungarian frontrunner electronic act, Žagar. He is involved in many independent projects in the Budapest-based electronic music scene (Free Sequence, Move Gently, Changing Grey). He is revealing his more experimental and atmospheric side in this project: his music approach is a mixture of ambient soundscapes and pulsing synth-textures based on analog modular systems and various structures of fm synthesis.
Kati Katona is working with Global Illumination, Limelight Projection and designing visuals for Ozora Festival, Sziget Festival and Zsolnay Light Festival as well. She is obsessed with experimenting with techniques, combining one with another, and exploring new processes. One of her expertise is the modification of real time captured footage which she uses often as a source of her generative contents. Many of her works are focusing on particle systems, and procedural methods.
