Gábor Lázár - Boundary Object

Gábor Lázár’s “Boundary Object” is a collection of eight real-time recorded, unedited tracks made in Budapest and Prague between 2020 and 2022 using a self-designed compositional interface. It's Gábor Lázár’s second album for Planet Mu following “Source” in 2020.

The title comes from the idea of a Boundary object as a flexible concept of sociology and computation of how collaborations could happen between groups of people who have different kinds of backgrounds and different levels of knowledge. A Boundary object could be anything which translates between these groups to make a collaboration happen. Boundary objects are plastic, interpreted differently across communities but with enough common identity across social words and contexts to maintain integrity. This is a neat summary of how Gábor’s approach and working process led to his music on this album. Prismatic, flexible, and functioning on different levels of interpretation.

On “Boundary Object”, the shiny surfaces and uniformity of “Source” have collapsed inward, leaving intact the recognisable pulse and frames of his music. While each individual track has a non-linear structure, the album as a whole has a strong narrative. Passages that start out Trance-like and familiar warp and weft into different shapes as if Gábor is examining the music like a 3d object, pulling at the edges, breaking and rebuilding what he examines, turning expectations inside-out. “Boundary Object” is intense, full-spectrum and a lot of fun. 

Hyped to the max for this one, fist track is lush.

Yess! Gabor Lazar is amazing. FM produce on key

Not feeling this I'm afraid. Gabor has yet to impress me with his work. It's always just a tad too soulless sounding for me.

He teased the tunes last year via his IG, super funky deconstructed additive synthesis madness. Preordered.

Check this out if you haven't yet, has one or two unreleased tracks in it too IIRC

His BR set is absolutely fantastic, I'd pay for the flac instantly if it was for sale.

I like his work but it all sounds the same to me. I cant tell the difference between this and the other albums I've listened to.

That being said I'll probably buy it.

I love his album with Mark Fell

I'm sorry, it's just not for me. But glad that so many people are into him though, he is talented for sure.

First track is on repeat mode, can't wait to hear the rest !

i like this

for anyone into gabor lazar

I'm liking this a lot better than his previous one. There's a lushness and a greater variety of sounds & sequences that engages my attention much more.

Nice one, like it a lot more than Source.

Source's highlights are immense... but as an album it's yet to meet my initial expectations.

I like that new one a lot.

Prob my favourite by him since the album with Mark Fell. Even the artwork sort of echoes it.

I'm glad I came across this post, because I really dig this artist. I can't help to think it sounds a bit like Mark Fell, but that's probably due to being ignorant still to how different they are.

They released a collab album together a while ago :

... and it's stellar.

Minimal techno, cool 

This has been getting repeated listens from me. It's ear candy, in the good way
