Description
Man and machine; a combination that can create flawlessly composed musical pieces and tell musical stories that explore life and define the soul. By mixing original pre-sequenced percussion loops and seamlessly layered track upon track of live keyboard and bass progressions, Jeff Bujak produces a unique and novel new look at live music production. He combines jazz and classical piano influences and fuses them with modern electronic and intricate percussion rhythms. Song pre-production starts by hand-crafting and recording all percussion loops note by note until it drives the keyboard progression it was written for. During live performances, each loop is controlled and directed by foot, similar to an instrument itself. Playing keyboard progressions and solos in real-time over each polyrhythmic loop creates complex, layered grooves that travel through your body, mind and spirit.
Classically trained pianist and composer, Bujak looks at his pieces as digital slices of life, each piece being inspired by an existing period of time. He writes mostly instrumental, but some lyrical, compositions meant to transfer energy and create the exact perception of the songs intent. Jeff Bujak is not only a composer and performer, but a director of musical drama.

History
| Jeff Bujak discovered piano at age 7 growing up in Syracuse, NY. After 6 years of theory and piano lessons, he began writing his own music. At 13, he self taught himself guitar and joined bands of every genre to gain experience in performing many live forms of music including hard core heavy metal, jazz fusion, jam rock and folk. By the age of 18, he wrote and recorded over 200 original compositions with styles ranging from hard rock to classical. At 23, he joined the national touring acoustic-progressive band Somebody's Closet (more info at www.somebodyscloset.com) and started traveling the country. With his left hand taking over the low end bass progressions and his right hand doing piano and organ solos, he learned quickly how to make his solo compositions come alive on stage as a one man show. He will be touring the northeast with solo performances starting in late spring 07, and currently still tours with Somebody's Closet. |
