Press release:
The Braconidae are a family of parasitoid wasps. After the Ichneumonidae, braconids make up the second largest family in the order Hymenoptera, with approximately 17,000 recognized species and many thousands more undescribed. The larvae of most braconids are internal or external primary parasitoids of other insects, especially the larval stages of Coleoptera, Diptera, and Lepidoptera, but also some hemimetabolous insects such as aphids, Heteroptera, or Embiidina. Most species kill their hosts, though some cause the hosts to become sterile and less active. Parasitism on adult insects (particularly on Hemiptera and Coleoptera) is also observed. In the human world, Braconidae is the brainchild of Emiliana Voltarel, already keyboard player and music writer with Yabanci and Bazalt. As Braconidae look for a host for their larvae and they found tricky ways to do that, Emiliana tries to find her personal way to create a sound in a genre which has been explored so much in the latest forty years. If her roots can be found in classic the industrial sound, her approach is different and personal. Samples, synths and self built percussive noisy devices are used with the aim to create atmospheres where the listener could dive and let lose himself/herself. "Gaslighting" is the first Braconidae's album and contains seven original tracks. Each one is a small window that is allowing you to take a peek into Emiliana's psyche. Mixed by Marco Milanesio (Novostj, DsorDNE, 9cento9, etc) and Maurizio Pustianaz (Gerstein, Noisebrigade and A New Life) and mastered by Milanesio at his own O.F.F. studio,"Gaslighting" sees also Gerstein and the noisy industrial duo O.D.R.Z. collaborating on two tracks respectively. Let Braconidae crawl into your brain, it will hurt only for a moment. Promise!
