OptimistiChaos is an audio/visual experience that fuses electronics, guitars, interactive video projection and performance. With a daunting arsenal of instrumentation and effects, Guitar wizard and Electronicsmith Mike Jung crafts an incredible electro-organic voyage of site and sound, with pure passionate intensity.

Visual elements of the show include dance footage shot against a green screen, animation and space photographs combined in layers with Fine Art visualizations. Additional interactive visual elements are directed in real time during the show. 

Performing most of the parts live, Jung bends, bows and warps his guitar riffs against a rich layer of synth and drum beds, navigating through time, space and chaos.

Mike Jung has worn the ever-changing hat of rock n’ roller in many bands over the years. Most recently, in Sedona, he made Monkey God scream. And of late, the adventurous and bazaar, Yin Yang and Zen Some.
There is a distinctive sound that comes through as Mike Jung and it flavors the band he plays in.
In the quiet hours of the day and night, Jung has relentlessly worked on developing his own unique music. For years he has fed this affair with morsels of time stolen from making a living and playing other peoples music in various bands. It's time; the real Mike Jung is about to come forward.
Jung’s music resists labeling. One might call it ambient or rockish, but that falls short of the intrinsically juicy sound that comes forth screaming from the depths of his soul.
Listen with closed eyes and you will feel it move and breathe in you. Jung’s sound communicates in the shorthand shared by artists everywhere in the world – rhythm mixed with elation.
