John Bringwolves: "Feel"
John Bringwolves is a multi-instrumentalist known for instinctive improvisation, funky blues guitar, drum machines and dreamy synths. His live sets are a dreamy trip of improvisation, in which a mix between digital and analogic instruments leads through experimental sounds, samples from the past, street sounds and visual art.
The Turin-based producer is attracted by new instruments, samples, street sounds and the relationship between music and video art. At the age of 6 he began to study drums and percussion with Paolo Cerlati taking part in the Tum Tribù project, which unites 40 percussionists of all ages playing in numerous squares in Italy. 6 years later he discovered the electric guitar. He began studying with Giancarlo Pini and then with his son Martino, focusing on rock, blues and funky. In 2010, together with Luca Biaggi, Matteo Lorenzi and Lorenzo Martinotti, he founded the band Rock Pop Entropia which debuted with an EP and numerous dates throughout Italy, from the Heineken Jamming Festival and then with the album La Direzione, he won the Tour Music fest in Rome and among the finalists for the 2016 X Factor selections. Thus begins a path of experimentation in which each new musical object is a new character to know and make friends with.
His new single “Feel” is born from a loop of drums and bass. Bringwolves explains “I loved that groove and from that base I started to build the song. Recently I've added to my setup the Yamaha Reface that played a key role in this production. This lovely synth gave at the central crescendo a warm and perfect atmosphere combined with the choirs. I also loved to work on the broken and pitched voices samples. I think that work was fundamental because these samples filled the mid-high frequencies mixed with the synth that leads in the final section giving at the track the powerful sound that I was looking for.”
