“Liquid Fire” is Gabor Csupo’s second solo release on Tone Casualties.

One of the world's most respected animation artists, chairman and Co-founder of Klasky Csupo, Inc., executive producer and founder of Tone Casualties, musician and father, Gabor Csupo is truly a contemporary renaissance man.

Csupo was born in 1952 in Budapest, Hungary, and received his animation education at Hungary's famed Pannonia studio. Leaving Hungary for political reasons in1975, he demonstrated his love for music by leaving all his belongings behind when he left the country -- except his collection of 500 record albums! Csupo went to Stockholm where he helped produce Sweden's first animated feature and met his future partner, American graphic designer Arlene Klasky. Together they formed Klasky Csupo, Inc., in 1981.

Csupo remained interested in music and continued to grow as a musician while achieving unparalleled success, worldwide recognition and critical acclaim with animated television programs, titles and trailers and commercials for Klasky Csupo, Inc. He formed Tone Casualties in 1994 to push the envelope of conventional music and showcase eclectic and experimental music. He is involved with every aspect of the label, from artist relations and recording to jacket design and marketing. Tone Casualties have released artists ranging from Paul Schutze and cEVIN Key to Holger Czukay.

The label also provides a creative outlet for Csupo himself, who has released three CDs for Tone Casualties, a collaboration with the avant-garde Accidental Orchestra and his first solo recording. Now he is releasing his latest effort “Liquid Fire,” a hypnotic musical journey for dark ambient, electronic, trip-hop, drum & bass, acid jazz, avant-dance and progressive groove lovers.

"The mission of Tone Casualties is to give the many talented artists in experimental and ambient music a place to express themselves creatively and to push the envelope of conventional music," Csupo said. "I love the way technology, electronics and music have converged and Tone Casualties is a vehicle to explore and express all that this convergence has to offer."

In addition to creating Tone Casualties, Csupo and his partner Arlene Klasky have guided their animation studio to a position of leadership in the animation and entertainment industry.
