Although things have been quiet musically from Burikusu!!! as of late, Claes has been spending the past couple of years helping to launch the company Bitwig, which plans to release a brand new DAW platform called Bitwig Studio. |
Burikusu!!! is the brainchild of Claes Johanson (creator of the critically acclaimed Vember Audio Surge softsynth and former DSP programmer for Ableton Live) and vocalist/lyricist Timothy Nilsson. Musically, the band is a highly technical mix of stuttering rhythms, haunting melodies, and severely manipulated vocals, all the while fearlessly melding elements of IDM, synthpop, hip-hop, experimental, and even straight up pop. The result is an astonishing melange of futuristic beats and forward-thinking programming that gracefully leaps over the cutting edge and bravely forges ahead into previously uncharted terrirtories. Few debuts in recent memory have displayed such staggering originality and technological wizardry while maintaining a sense of melody and accessibility, and dare we say it... fun. |
