about

Januš Aleš Luznar has been a creative force since the late 1990s, delving into music production, DJing, graphic design, and new media art. His multidisciplinary approach intertwines various artistic mediums, resulting in a rich and diverse body of work.

Luznar's influence extends beyond individual projects, as he has made significant contributions to numerous record labels, showcasing his innovative sound and versatility across different musical genres. Additionally, his talent for crafting immersive soundscapes has found applications in diverse fields such as theater, fashion, cinema, and advertising.

Actively engaged in creative communities, Luznar is a member of the Hupa Brajdič collective in Ljubljana and the Atelier 21220 in Budapest, where he collaborates with fellow artists, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas and inspiration.

In 2018, Januš Aleš Luznar embarked on an experimental journey, diving into the realm of musically manipulated biofeedback loops. His focus centered on integrating the human heartbeat into his live performances and compositions, pushing the boundaries of both science and art. This innovative fusion reflects Luznar's unwavering dedication to creativity and innovation.

His exploratory endeavors with the ICTUSCORDIS performances have taken him to stages across EU, including London, Paris, Budapest, Ljubljana, Nova Gorica, and Celje. Through these various performances Luznar shares his unique blend of sound and technology with audiences, captivating them with his inventive approach to music.

In 2023, Luznar started a new research endeavor centered on the acoustic properties of musical instruments. Inspired by the rich heritage of African string instruments such as the Kora, Ngoni, and Nyatiti, he began crafting his own instruments. Drawing upon his expertise in sound composition and electronic music production, Luznar aims to imbue these instruments with a unique sonic identity while paying homage to their cultural origins.

Based in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Luznar's artistic endeavors resonate with the city's vibrant cultural landscape. From his studio, he continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression, creating immersive experiences that challenge perceptions and inspire audiences.
