Ficture
Ficture, the alter ego of Gábor Tokár—drummer for Vad Fruttik—creates unique sound collages drawn from a wide variety of sources: field recordings, digital and analog synthesizers, various percussion and other instruments, vocal fragments, and the reinterpretation of all these elements to the point where their origins become almost unrecognizable.

His debut album, Roads To Everywhere (2014, Lemongrassmusic), received favorable critical acclaim: Sound Color Vibration called it “as soothing as it is exciting,” while Funkadelphia described it as “meticulously electronic, yet strikingly organic.” His subsequent EP, Filled Spaces (2018, Audiobulb Records), launched a European tour and was selected by IglooMag as one of the best of 2018.
Ficture’s recent years have been defined by artistic collaborations and remixes, while his constantly evolving live performances are built on improvisation: he employs a multi-instrumentalist approach, simultaneously using various instruments, controllers, synthesizers, and effects.
