Lukas Ligeti was born in Vienna, Austria, and studied at the Vienna Music University. Upon completing his studies there, he spent 1994-1996 as a visiting scholar at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University. Since 1998, he has lived in New York City.
Oblivious to categorizations such as "classical", "pop", etc., his main interests include areas such as cultural exchange, polyrhythms/polytempo structures, and non-tempered tunings, and his music ranges from the through-composed to the free-improvised.
As a drummer, he has played and/or recorded with artists such as Henry Kaiser, Raoul Björkenheim, Michael Manring, Gianni Gebbia, Daniel Carter, Benoît Delbecq, John Tchicai, Pyrolator Kurt Dahlke, Elliott Sharp, Jim O'Rourke, Robert Dick, Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Rupert Huber, Ned Rothenberg, etc., and performs solo concerts on electronic percussion.
Left Coast Improv Group is rhizomatic for sure following lines of flight and intensities within over and around the body without organs, i.e. Deluzian. The regular players are: Doug Carroll cello, Michael Cooke bassoon, Ron Heglin trombone & voice, Jeff Hobbs clarinet cornet violin , Scott R. Looney piano & electronics, Bob Marsh violin and other things, Tom Nunn hand-built electro-acoustic instruments, Jim Ryan flute horn & small percussion, and Karen Stackpole gongs and percussion . . . they are likely to play other things as well. Eponine Cuervo-Moll has also worked with us doing body movement.
