Bruce Stark

Being a physics main in university, Stark found himself spending additional time within the dormitory lounge performing piano than carrying out his homework. Motivated by Keith Jarrett’s expanded improvisations, the self-taught musician deserted his scientific tests and barely got accepted in to the music section of California Condition University at age 22. He obtained a Masters level in structure from Juilliard, learning with heavies like Roger Periods and Vincent Persichetti. However on the way, Stark under no circumstances lost his fascination with the tonal, extremely improvisational designs that fascinated him to music to begin with. Unlike the George Winston clones who provided single piano music a negative name within the ’80s, this Tokyo-based musician begins with solid compositional ideas and also builds up them in smart and emotionally billed ways.
