EricByakProject

The official channel of guitarist, composer, producer Eric Byak.

Eric received a scholarship into the USC School of Music where he met legendary studio guitarist Lee Ritenour. In his masterclass, Lee introduced a new phenomenon called guitar synthesis; the ability to play orchestral and keyboard sounds from a guitar and Eric jumped at this innovation. “It’s pretty amazing to be able to instantly create any instrument on the spot, without hiring other musicians, and producers love the cost savings” Byak said. With this newfound ability to score music from guitar, he was contracted by executive producer Jon Barbour at RCA/ Columbia pictures, to score his first movie trailer “The Karate Kid 3”. Similar projects followed, including "Back to the Future", "Bird on a Wire", "Ghost Busters", "La Bamba" and various Disney projects. Eric’s music has made its way to the hit TV show “This is Us”, "The Young and the Restless", "General Hospital" and other TV spots. Visit www.ericbyakmusic.com.
