ABOUT BRAINSTATIK:
New Jersey-based Brainstatik is best known for their completely-improvised live concerts, where they perform long-form jams combining ambient, world, progressive rock, and space music, liberally shifting and mixing genres within each piece. Every song is a spontaneous exploration of diverse musical themes, with nothing rehearsed or planned beforehand, so Brainstatik always sounds completely different each time they play.

Brainstatik has been together for 15 years and performs smaller shows in galleries as a duo or trio, or in larger concerts with the current full lineup of four members. Everyone in Brainstatik is a certified electronic gear junkie, each choosing from a huge sonic palette from which to make sounds. Armed with this complex musical toybox, guitars can sound like drums , keyboards can make guitar sounds, and drums can play keyboards, which often can confound audience members (and sound engineers) who can't quite tell who's playing what part.

The music heard at their live shows is always organic, with each piece constantly evolving and morphing into something new. Brainstatik can sound ethereal and quiet, complex and orchestral, or experimental and edgy. The resulting performance often sounds rehearsed and composed, but in reality the band has no explanation for where the music takes them at any live show... it all just happens at that moment, almost beyond their control. The risk of a creative "train wreck" is always there, but the members of Brainstatik thrive on taking their music right to the edge every time they perform. They'd be quickly bored doing it any other way!
