Frank Jacob
Frank Jacob (efjay) is an internationally active visual artist, filmmaker and musician/composer. Known for his unorthodox approaches, efjay has visualized many different subjects that would not ordinarily find their way into the audio-visual medium, including a film exploring blindness called 'Beating Darkness' for Austrian vision researcher Michaela Velikay-Parel, an after-life 'Video Epitaph' depicting the work of deceased architect Herwig Illmaier, and an annual report in the form of a live audio/visual performance entitled 'Information as Art'.
Highlights have included a first-of-its-kind 'live cinema' feature entitled "LOOP Live Cinema", where musical stage performances where orchestrated in tandem with dynamic visual sequences projected as dramatic narratives, and an audio/visual composition showcased with cellist Katharina Feldbacher at Carnegie Hall for the influential 'American Austrian Foundation', a George Soros funded off-shoot of the world-renowned 'Doctors Without Borders'.
His work projecting filmic elements to original music accompanied by stage musicians and efjay's pioneering approach to live visuals with narrative lead to his being invited to conceive and design a unique live cinema performance in collaboration with a 65-piece symphony orchestra in the birth town of Mozart, which was then presented live.
efjay frequently composes and produces the music for his productions.
Currently he is working on a feature film documentary, a culmination of cinematic visuals, music and narrative to be released in 2012.
