The Pat Zelenka Project
In the modern world, so much information is thrown at us on a daily basis that it easy to overlook certain things as they cross our paths. Music can certainly fall into this category at times. Every now and then, an Artist comes along who reminds us that the primary function of music is to communicate.
Pat Zelenka is such a musician. Playing an instrument at an expert level is one thing but being able to go beyond that and actually use that instrument to communicate emotion has surely always been one of the higher callings of music. As a guitar player, Pat is technically excellent but it is his ability to wring out every last possible drop of emotion from the instrument that sets him apart.
Pat has obviously not just listened to, but absorbed the great legacy of guitar playing that went before him. For younger listeners, his music is a veritable treasure trove of classic influences and a great primer in the music of the past.
While there is a great sense of history about his music, Pat Zelenka is also very much a modern artist.. He displays that unusual ability of being able to find something absorb it, and then take it past where he found it. This has always been one of the hallmarks of a great musician and Pat displays this with every passing note.
A guitar can be a very expressive instrument and in the hands of Pat Zelenka it simply comes alive. So take a listen to the music of Pat Zelenka and absorbed the sound of a master at work.
