ATTILA HEFFNER –
shaman, composer, spiritual performer, shaman drum making. Has played music on stage since 1978, both in bands and
independently.
He treats folk-music-elaboration folk-rock, “world-music” since 1985. First he became
widely known in 1988 as the guitarist and leader of the SWETTER (now: TURUL) folk-rock
band.
Since 1990 he has mainly been an independent performer. As a composer, producer and
soloist he was the creator of the music for several films and musicals and he was the
character of several concerts – mainly in Hungary but also sometimes abroad.
In 1996 he created the “Barbarians”
rock-opera wrote its music and he organized the outdoor performance of the
production. Since then myriads of people have seen or heard this rock-opera country-wide.
In 1997 he was asked to write the music of “Book of Revelations” rock-
oratory, which production is still waiting for its exhibition. The
speciality of these two rock-operas is that only Hefisaman (Attila Heffner) plays all of
the music instruments. Since then he has published more show-CDs and cassettes and he has
directed several concerts and shows country-wide.
As a musical shaman with his exciting, dynamic and mystical concert-shows he gladly goes
anywhere to do a show – from the smallest clubs through the selective, alternative
playhouses to the biggest theatres or outdoor festivals – he gives original
multi-faceted shows – where he surprises and fascinates the audience with folk-singers,
folk-dancers and he enhances his shows with exotic pictorial and sound spectacular-effects
(smoke, film, fire, audiovisual-technique, session-music etc.)
The most exciting show is the revitalizing, evoking and presentation of a traditional
ceremony of the ancient shamans’ knowledge and belief – the ancient-knowledge and
wisdom that was liquidated, foully executed, dishonoured and forbidden by King István
(Vajk) one thousand years ago. This ceremony has an unforgettable effect by playing exotic
musical instruments (shaman-drums flutes, chaunter, pipe or trance-singing), and these
ancient musical instruments are used live on a modern, pulsating world-music-base. The
production in its way is exclusive world wide – it is a special, matchless, mystery-play
and musical-dessert. Attila Heffner is
not only a musician – he is a shaman in his civil life, and uses his shaman abilities. He
takes his abilities for extra-sensitivity, using special powers, soul and spirit-sighting,
and his spiritual poems, from the deep collective unconscious (World-tree, Akasha) and he
uses his abilities and if he can, he helps people who ask for his help, if they have a
problem – and of course, he does it freely and disinterestedly.
As he says he is continuously “learning” and changing, and he does not wish to be a
rival to any other shamans or performers. His aim is to make himself and the world better,
the “not-hurting” principle, and learn the scale of values of Jesus and to popularize
it and to help his country to rise.
Since 1990 he has endeavoured to beat back the negative tendencies that he can see in
Hungary, and he helps those spiritual and political sides and civil-enterprises which want
to give and build and not get away. In the last few years he has lectured on the esoteric
“market” (mostly in Budapest and regions of the Balaton) about the reformation-life
and nutrition, yoga and his other experiences of healthy-life and metaphysics that he will
share with any well-meaning person who is close to him. With his catch phrase
“Adventurers do not look for me!” he forms connections with interested persons. He
presents his interesting, humorous shows – which are full of energetic exercises with
special sight and sound effects – abroad too, with the help of an interpreter.
