Abul Mogard

Fictional character created in 2010 by Guido Zen, with an identity of a retired senior steel factory worker from Belgrade (Serbia), who makes music reminiscent of his workspace, as a means to feel connected again. "Abul Mogard approached music in old age. He was born in Belgrade and spent most of his life working in a Serbian factory. When he retired, he felt that his accustomed environment with all the acoustic noises he had been listening to during his working years, was gone. Music was a way to somehow recreate these surroundings, and not having a formal musical education he realized that using electronic musical instruments would make this possible. These machines could also make similar sounds to the ones he remembered. He started working with synthesizers and other devices, some of which he has built himself over the past few years."
