Since then he has collaborated and developed projects such as Flux Project with Bram De Looze and Luca Rosenfeld with ‘Pyrin’ (2014) being the first album of the trio produced by Michael Carvin, featuring Daniel Carter, Todd Neufeld and greek actress Calliroee Myriagou. ‘Egata’ is his large ensemble unit with Ingrid Laubrock, Todd Neufeld, Pascal Niggenkemper, Lester St. Louis and Joe Moffett.

Levente Dudas is an improvising electronic musician, originally from Backa Topola, a small town in former Yugoslavia, now northern Serbia.
‘The qualitative breakthrough in how I understand and perceive music and sounds, what I was seeking in music and what I would eventually like to create and get involved with, came from several other and quite independent sources and authors: Arnold Schoenberg’s orchestral music, “2001: Space Oddisey” soundtrack, Tangerine Dream’s Zeit and Jan Garbarek Group’s Aftric Pepperbird, Iannis Xenakis’ Persepolis – all stunningly interesting and misterious and exciting in their own ways’.
