Who is Lucian Nagy?
Lucian comes from a musical family; his father is saxophonist / clarinetist Josef Nagy and his mother is Romanian folk music singer Malvina Nagy. Lucian is well-acclaimed, as Romania's choice in the Saxophone Massive section of ethno and jazz music extravaganza River of Music. He has received "Saxophonist of the Year" from the Timisoara Jazz Awards and toured many countries including the United States, Europe and the UK. His primary artistic project is Lucian Nagy & Balkumba Tribe, a world-music / jazz collective.
An Eternal Quest
Based on this article written for his website, Lucian sings high praises of Syos.
"Every saxophonist knows the eternal quest for that elusive 'Holy Grail', a mouthpiece that resonates with their inner sound and style."
"After years of tirelessly searching for the perfect saxophone mouthpiece, I can finally say I've found it."
Not one short of poetics and rich prose, we are flattered when he says: "For me, the search always felt incomplete, a never-ending voyage without a beacon to guide me toward the sound I longed to achieve." It is a privilege that Syos could be that beacon.
Finding his Musical Identity
In collaboration with Syos, Lucian was able to construct a custom soprano and tenor mouthpiece for himself. "I finally discovered my musical identity through their innovative designs," he writes. Of working with me and our team: "Her patience and willingness to explore my sometimes wild ideas led us to a groundbreaking resolution: my very first patented mouthpiece for soprano saxophone was born."
Watch Lucian Play
In the video below, you can see Lucian play his custom soprano mouthpiece with fellow acclaimed percussionist Rhani Krija and Nawar Habil on oud. The song is an incredible fusion between Middle Eastern influence and jazz, and was played for DCS Contemporary, an arts programming center located in Germany.
