Trio
the abstract
"Not quite jazz, but close enough - songs under gentle protest."- This is how I could describe our trios music. We love to experiment, but still have an open place in our hearts for catchy melodies and song like structures.
Duo
coincidence
"Free spirits in an unbound sonic constellation." - I would say. We are constantly on the watchout for new textures, sounds and motives.
Solo
rh+
Under the pseudonym rh+ I have started a project to collect my more experimental guitar works.
Roland Heidrich
in music...
My deep relationship with music started at the age of 14, when I picked up the guitar. A simple act, that changed and shaped everything for me. I was mesmerized by the power of rock music first but soon discovered jazz and started to develop myself in that direction. After some years of studying jazz, my attention turnned in other directions aswell, like avantgarde and experimental music including free improvisation. After experimenting with my one of a kind prepared multi-pickup electric guitar for experimental music, I met Sándor Szabó, who introduced me to the world of acoustic guitar music. I played only acoustic guitars for 10 years, explored the opportunities on the 8 string classical guitar, 16 string guitar and fretless 8 strings, before returning to my roots with the electric guitar and my original sound imaginations.In all these years i was lucky to play and work with really great and inspiring musicians from the hungarian jazz and free improvisation scene to some really great international players.

Sound
"the sound guy"
I started to make music recordings in 2004 and have worked as a boom operator, sound mixer and sound designer for motion picture for more then ten years now.
Visuals
re:framing
I can't help it, but there is always a creative process going on in my mind. I found it to be a good way to organize my thoughts if I slow down and start to reframe the world around me. Over time it became more then "only" a meditaion.
