Talent Description
With only his 6-string bass guitar, looping pedals, and various effects, Jozef recorded comprehensive and layered backing tracks, over which he plays the melody, various other harmony parts, and complicated solos live in performance at your event.
All the music - the backing chords, the harmonies, sub-melodies - all of it has been produced by Jozef (with only the exception of the original drumbeats)
Over the last several months, Jozef painstakingly arranged and recorded over 150 tunes, developing 4 entirely different sets of instrumental music for events. And he is just getting started: he will continue adding new tunes to each of these full sets, as well as expanding genres as he go.
