improvised music, mostly performing his own compositions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Mezei explores the relationship between
improvisation and composition (similarly to Witold Lutoslawski's aleatoric and
Anthony Braxton's creative music methods), incorporating elements of jazz and
authentic folk music as well. He has been inspired by B.Bartók and Gy.Szabados.
Not only Mezei is actively involved in composing scenic music but he also plays
authentic Hungarian folk music on genuine folk instruments (koboz and oud).
