Mester, Sándor (MS3) – Guitarist & inventor

The 3rd Sandor of Mester (MS3) family began to play the guitar at the age of twelve with his father the second Sandor of Mester family called MS2. MS3 won the Grand Price of Hungarian National Classical Guitar Contest at the age of seventeen. He did a successfull entrance exam for the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy at 1992 started to study as a student of Jozsef Eotvos. He was looking for new sounds, arrangements and musical possibillities during his school years. He played in several classical music as well as couple of pop-rock-jazz productions.

After his great start in the Hungarian music life he stopped his solo carrier because of a hand disease called 'focal distonia'. Then he started to work on computers as a composer and invented a new way of music making and publishing in 1998 and applying for 'Digital Improvisation' (DI) patent that has become world-wide patent sofar. He founded Digimpro Kft. in 2000 in Budapest and Digimpro Ltd. in London in 2003 www.digimpro.com for developing and spreading DI technology that was used by couple of superstars: Robbie Williams, Roots Manuva, Erasure és Moby is.

Thanks to Ede Roth's guitar technic and special guitar-teaching methodology MS3's right hand became heathly again and he restarted his solo carrier in 2003. From that time he played recitals in Feszek-klub (Bp), in churches in small villages close to the lake Balaton and around in Hungary. Then he did his first '150koncert' tour (150 classical guitar solo concerts around the lake Balaton) which could be a record since he did 150 concerts in 90 days and it was never done in classical music. He repeated this tour in 2006 when the '150koncert' tour was done all around in Hungary playing chamber music as well with Eva Antal (guitar) and Janos Vazsonyi (Saxophon). During the two '150koncert' tours he was playing in cultural centres, cultural houses, schooles basically in small villages and small towns. More than ten thousand people took care of his concerts and couple of thousand kids have heard his guitar playing.
