Mark Alban Lotz
Veracious improviser and composer who combines esthetics of contemporary classical music with the virility of jazz. Even when stripped to the essence Lotz conveys a joyful catchiness. Mark delivers a unique sound, giving his instrument pioneering dimension and depth. At times, his flutes grazes a noise timbre; at other, it plumbs the depths of a bass.’  A player of such technical command that his explosions of creativity are particularly startling. Vibrant personality on the international scene with performances all over the globe.
