WEAPON EYES

Levente Dudas is the creative power of N|O|E|W|A Creative Music or N|O|E|W|A for short, which is his stagename, too. his manifesto is: finding the right combination of instruments and sounds is an art form in itself, and takes the same creative energy as choosing the right chords, creating a beautiful melody or writing engaging lyrics. Lev is a sonic adventurer, constantly seeking his unique voice, that particular sonic signature, through experimenting and learning and combining all sorts of instruments, devices and objects, while being aware of surrounding noise and world's soundscapes.
