Virtual Underground : How has this BRÄLLE story started ?
BRÄLLE : Began back in 2017 on the heels of my touring days winding down. I spent the previous 10 years touring with another band, and I needed to do something on my own, completely outside my comfort zone.
Virtual Underground : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ?
BRÄLLE : This is a difficult question to summarize, but the one thing that’s stayed true through all my musical experiences is to draw inspiration from outside your own scene. Shoegaze, Ambient, Black Metal, Goth Rock, or Synth Pop all play their own role in my songwriting process.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ?
BRÄLLE : This mix took a second to really find my stride, as is usually the case. You play with tone and groove a lot in the beginning until finally finding your path. I think of it like walking in the dark when you turn off the lights, it takes a second until your eyes adjust in the darkness before knowing where you should go.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ?
BRÄLLE : This was recorded on my cd’s at home into Logic X, where I add various atmospheric layers on-the-fly as the mix progresses.
Virtual Underground : What about the scene in Brooklyn?
BRÄLLE : The scene in Brooklyn is healthy and exciting for a newcomer. There is a lot of impressive local talent, innovating after-hour crews and a solid stream of underground acts every weekend. It is certainly the best scene within North America.
Virtual Underground : What are your next plans ?
BRÄLLE : My next plans are to focus more on live performance and Dj’ing within my scene and work on releasing the mountain of tracks that I have finished. I tend to stockpile my creations until I get lost in them. Lots more to come!
