Gosheven

Gosheven is the solo project of Bálint Szabó, member of 12z, a Budapest-based experimental band, and curator at Trafó House in Budapest. Leaper is his first solo adventure, released in May 2017. For his breakthrough Szabó puts in use the several years he spent studying different tuning systems for electric guitar. He developed a unique electric guitar with strings that can be placed in the stereo field to further enrich the already unusual sounds of the retuned guitar. Inspired by some of the greatest American minimalists and Italian Renaissance composers, he built some beautiful and absorbing sound harmonies that travel through emotions. Leaper is a masterful take on drone and ambient sounds with enriched pop sounds.
