Interview / Brunio Who

The Here And Now

What inspired you to create Brunio’s Mind as an evolving musical project rather than a traditional album?

In a world saturated with singles and ephemeral tracks with features just to grow numbers, we are concerned, as bizarre as it may seem, with leaving a timeless legacy. We want something that might beunderstood differently depending on when you look at it.

How do you decide which genres or sounds best serve each chapter ofthe story?

By “Universe,” we define the global sound first. Then, we adapt each track based on the genre we chose. For example, Season 1 has a more retro-funk vibe in English, while the new one already has a more funk-rap sound in English and Spanish, something more modern…

Can you tell us about the connection between the album and the Spanish-language film?

Honestly, it was hard for us to find actors who spoke English well, so we made it in Spanish. That’s just how it is, you know… things happen, and we fix them. In the Brunio Who universe, everything has a reason.

Which artists or filmmakers have had the biggest influence on yourcreative vision?

Look, we have many personalities here, and each one has its own taste.We can go from short comedies like Monty Python or Larry David to the cinema of Dario Argento and David Fincher. Musically, it’s the same;we love people like Gardel, Jim Morrison, Luca Prodan, Johnny Cash, Rod Stewart, even people like Ricky Espinosa. Our mind is a very fragmented place. But being totally honest, albums like The Wall or LaBiblia. How do you approach selecting musicians for live performances and recordings within this project?

We have played in rock bands, so we know many musicians willing to record and play. But to be brutally honest, right now the work load demanded by Season 2, recording all the tracks and episodes is already insane. Preparing a full “Season Show” with that mix of musical diegesis and narrative is a massive effort and an animal cost. Since we don’t have a sufficient audience yet, we don’t believe it’s worth that risk, and we honestly don’t feel like working that hard for may be nothing. So, just to scratch the itch, we go out solo to local bars.There, we play songs from all of “us,” mine, and from others… we just do whatever we want and i love it.
