Hi! I am Daniel Varga.

You might know me as a saxophonist, a composer,

an arranger, a producer, a singer, a frontman, an organizer, a teacher,  a husband, a father, a church dude or

just a random happy pal from a bar.

No worries, you are at the right place. I am kind of all of that or at least I try to be. Here I will guide you through all the things that I am doing right now, or done in the past.

Thank you for visiting! Cheers!

SAXOPHONIST:

Behind these doors, you will find all the information about me playing the sax. I still don’t know the why, so that will be unanswered, but I can show you all kinds of influences. From jazz to pop. From dry sound to fx madness.

MOPED LOEWEN:

Once I was at an avantgarde free jazz workshop in Poland, where one of the artists said to us: “Play the music you like to listen to and like to play it as well.”  And I took his words seriously. Which means this band turned out to be some kind of experimental indie rock orchestra with mad solos in between.

Check it out!

Bio/About: Daniel is a young Hungarian saxophonist and composer. He studied music in Austria at the University of Music and Perfoming Arts Graz (KUG). After the school years he moved back to Budapest, where he is currently living now. He got into the semi finals of the first Michale Brecker International Saxophone Competition as a saxophonist, then he released his first big band album with the Modern Art Orchestra in 2021 as composer, and was featured as soloist too. He founded the band called Moped Loewen in 2016, which delivered some of the finest experimental indie music fused with orchestral elements in the past 3 years. Now he is working on his debut album as jazz saxophonist with his Eastern European quartet.

PRODUCER:

I don’t know at what point can someone call himself a producer, but I do write and produce a lot of music for myself and for other artists too. Also behind this window you will find my little solo projects and random sounds. If you don’t like jazz please click here! Hahaha!

COMPOSER:

Here you will be able to listen to some of my compositions and arrangements what I did for mostly my own projects and bands. This is mainly for jazz. If you are looking for my other sounds, click on Moped Loewen or the Producer window.
