Every Sunday, we turn the spotlight on some great creatives. This week, we have Brendan Brisk!
Brendan is an artist, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist out of Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Brendan has been an artist for as long as they could remember, but more recently, they started to embrace their identity. Brendan is a self-taught musician, but the internet has given them resources to hone their craft.
In 2016, they saw the release of their debut album, Astral Counterfeit: a solo excursion that explores funk, soul, and jazz elements and plays upon the influences of Beck, Sly and the Family Stone, and Sun Ra. Following the debut, Brendan connected with Bernard Gavlick, Justin Malinowski, and Miles Orfanella to bring his recordings to the stage.
Brendan’s second release, Relaxylvania, builds upon the momentum of the band and introduces a collaborative flair to a continued exploration of unique, genre-bending sounds. Relaxylvania creates an atmospheric space that encompasses a diversity of energies—from its driving opening track “Fanfare” to the ethereal closer “Music for Gabriel.”
Nothing makes them feel more alive than creating. Brendan feels it creates a strange, cosmic energy that feels bigger than my physical body. Having ideas constantly generating 24/7 is a blessing and curse, but Brendan wouldn’t have it any other way.
They love creating through music, mostly because they believe they could execute their ideas into the physical world the most efficiently. With that being said, while not as precise to their original concepts due to their experimental nature, Brendan loves creating videos and visual art as well.
Brendan has many sources of inspiration, with Pennsylvania wilderness, outer space, and love being a few. They believe being creative is about being true and trusting yourself, and creating them for the physical world for others to be inspired.
Brendan is currently working on their third album. Until then, you can find them on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and on their website.
