Earning his degree in classical violin, Lantos embarked on a remarkable musical journey. Drawn to experimental and eastern music, he travelled to India in 1985 to study classical Indian music, both Hindustani and Carnatic. After 9 years of studying, travelling, teaching and performing in India, Lantos returned to Europe in 1994. He began rediscovering his musical roots and found his musical language by blending jazz, experimental improvisation and Eastern music using live electronics and looper.
Over the years he has been working and recording internationally with various artists from the jazz- and World Music scenes like Charlie Mariano, Dhafer Youssef, Larry Corryell, Steve Coleman, Trilok Gurtu, Loreena McKennitt, Nils Petter Molvaer, Eivind Aarset and others.
Lantos recorded several albums in his homeland and also participated on many others all over the world. His first Mirrorworld album “Tiptoe Ceremony” became “Hungarian Jazz Album of the year” in 2003, and the next one entitled “Tau” was nominated as well for the same award in 2008. The latest album is out by Zoltán Lantos' OpenSource entitled "Sonaris" in 2018 (Hunnia Records).
Zoltán Lantos plays a 5 string violin and a custom-built 5+16 sympathetic string violin (Tarangini). He received the “Artisjus” prize in 2006 and the “Golden Cross of Merit” medal by the Hungarian Government in 2008. His album entitled "Tiptoe Ceremony" (BMC, 2002) was the jazz album of the year in Hungary.
