Hi, I'm Jess Johnson.  You'll see other Jess Johnson's online and on here but I am the real one, the one you've been looking for. I began writing original lyrics and singing about 2 years ago. When I started I didn't have a specific genre I wanted to focus on, I just performed the song like I thought it should be based on the content and vibe of it. That turned out to produce tracks that left me confused as to which genre should be assigned to each track so I just got as close as I thought it might be and labeled it. With that being said, you will notice that the genres i chose for a track may not be the genre you think it should be. I am open to suggestions if you'd like to DM me with advice on each track and I would greatly appreciate it. I sincerely hope you enjoy my work, thank you for your support and generous comments.

Eclectic amateur I compose on Ableton live or on my piano. I like to explore different styles of music. Only homemade by myself! Each playlist explores a different genre.
I am retired and have time for my passion.
Thank you for listening

Amateur éclectique, je compose sur Ableton live et sur mon piano. J'aime explorer différents styles de musique.  Que du fait maison! Chaque playlist  correspond donc à un genre particulier.
Je suis en retraite et j'ai du temps pour ma passion.
Merci pour votre écoute.

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.

Welcome - It all started when I was 6 and studied musical school on the top of normal school. We learned classical music - notation, scales, chords, etc. By the age of ten, I got pretty good foundation of music theory, and I kept playing flute for next 5 years. 

But the real fun started at 13, when I purchased my first guitar, and then started composing within a year. I wrote many simple pop songs, punk songs, and some gospel, later on learned to play and compose very complicated riffs, licks, and many solo techniques, eventually landed in death metal band, where I played the lead guitar for 3 years. 
     
Of course, that is a long history now, and I gave up making music at 31. But roughly 11 years after that I came along to own my first Ipad, which happened to have Garageband app. And since then I slowly learn more and more tricks, and have now done over 2 hours of music, which you can hear for free on this page. 
     
Every song is an experiment itself, although I tend to be melodic, upbeat, and various. I'm still using diatonic scales and chords as main channel for composition, just as I learned in school as a little kid. Although some pentatonic scales now and then won't hurt, right? 
     
Here is how I see it about the music. The most basic and effective way to make the magic is the combination of good chord progression and good melody. So basically, brilliant cords, brilliant melody and how much they complement each other - that is the magic. And, of course, the structure that utilizes all that to the max. All the rest is just a gravy, (I mean, "just" a gravy) Don't get me wrong, the gravy can be very beautiful and  enjoyable, and most of my tracks so far are mostly gravy, but the proper meal should contain some meat, Know what I mean? My most "meaty" songs so far are probably Autumn Falls and Hint Of Tribecore. The biggest and dirtiest gravy so far would be probably Tribal Beginnings and Warning Immediate Noise. But you can judge that for yourself. 

Still, my main focus now increasingly becomes a sound modulation, and structures of song, because more I play with that tweaking of sound, more crazy sound I can hear. The goal here is pure magic and beauty distilled into nice 2-6 min. pieces. 
     
Also, a little disclaimer here. I don't do any vocals, mixes, remixes, or live pieces. All should be well thought through, electronic, and freshly new, and original. So enjoy listening and feel free to comment. I appreciate the feedback as it gives me more info and insight.
Peace.

HIPPIES MUST DIE (The Swamp Records, 2025) - "Hippies Must Die" is my brand new album. It was recorded in 2024 at Via Kosmische, except for the live jam at the end of the LP. I am not sure what will be next for me, so once this album is out, please enjoy it. Cheers.

A.J. Kaufmann is a Polish genre-bender. Weaving folk, noise, and psychedelic rock, he creates a "Strange World" of sound. From heavy riffs to spaced-out soundscapes, his music (albums like "Stoned Gypsy Wanderer") and poetry explore the fringes.

NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!
"A.J. Kaufmann's world is strange indeed, serving up a set of ten psychedelic oddities. We've got acoustic guitar and vocal driven psychedelic folk songs bathed in atmospherics, wigged out psycho-folk freakouts, acid drenched space-time distortion, grungy garage-blues, and a noisy instrumental that sounds like an unearthed Faust basement tape track. File under totally trippy!" -- Jerry Kranitz of Aural Innovations.

"Stoned Gypsy Wanderer (2014) – 14 songs on Vinyl LP. This LP captures time. Bard’s Woman in the Cool of the Summer Breeze (2023) – 10 songs on Vinyl LP. It’s fun to see the maturity and development of A.J.’s music over nine years. A music review of 14 songs in the year 2014 and 10 songs from 2023. Kaufmann is a folk troubadour, minstrel and a harbinger of new sounds and thought. There is a theme that runs through this body of work, a method to his madness. All of these songs are a journey. So take the trip and give a listen. Nobody knows it but A.J. Kaufmann is a national treasure of Poland."
-- David Bixby.
