Quietcode 1.0 is computer music, improvised by live coding, with a quiet, meditative outlook. It begins as you see, with a blank screen. Except for a xiao 箫 flute, all instruments and rhythms were written in real time using short code instructions (written in my chucklib-livecode dialect for the SuperCollider audio programming environment). The performance was 55 minutes; this version is edited.

Zsolt Olejnik is a composer and electronic musician from Budapest, Hungary. He studied architecture at University of Pécs, and software engineering at University of Győr in addition to self-studies in graphic and sound design, sound synthesis and programming. Since 1996 he has been actively working on sound compositions, live performances, radio shows and graphic designs.

Zsolt aims to create such sound compositions that are unique in structural setting up and phonation using the digital domain only. He assembles computer-generated tones into complex sound fabrics. His work is known for precise sound placement, clear sound shapes, abstract stuctures and beats. He performed under the pseudonym Nicron on major festivals and well known places like OFFF in Barcelona, PhonoTaktik in Vienna, Morning Line, Ultrasound, X-Peripheria and Rhiz Bar-Modern.

In 1998 he founded Porousher, which was influenced by minimal and conceptual art besides experimental electronic music. After numerous live-acts and releases, Porousher disbaned in 2002 and formed into a netlabel to deal with limited edition CDR releases. Zsolt has since curated its content and designated the object of developing sound installations, internet based sound applications, furthermore preparing sound competitions for visitors. This project has been closed in 2006, and he is focusing on his sounds, live sets and radio shows now.

Anyway, bookings are always welcome.

120+ sound tracks
60+ radio sessions
40+ live sets

I'm interested in rhythmic intricacy, mesmeric loops, algorithmic processes and microtonal scales.
