Two hardware synths and one Vst: Spire.... :-) Korg's MS-20 on bass...

SignalShaper | Korg MS-20 / Nord Modular G1 / Spire | Solar

Electronic, experimental, cinematic. 
Dreams and daydreams.


I spin at the local clubs, and like to make mixes online.

Brillman has been an electronic online musician during the last 20 years using many different names: Brillman, Controlfreak, freakcontrol, Red Karma, Atmosphere, Zero Loop, Pan64, Randomcontrol, geometric delay and Superfreak! Brillman mainly creates original sounds from hardware synths but also uses guitar, samplers, vocals or even poetry. He primarily utilizes a 4 to the floor approach. The aesthetics behind the music is about finding a balance between minimalism vs. depth & improvisation vs. programmed.

Wellington-based Brand-XY was created  from the car-crash of several UK alternative/post-punk rock bands by former bass player Martin JG. Electro-energy and guitar combine to deliver well crafted songs with one eye on the future and a nod to the past.

Studio-based since inception in 2013 Brand-XY is currently preparing for live performance, taking a selection of tracks from the upcoming EP 'Walk In The Sun' whose sound has been likened to Depeche Mode in conversation with Bauhaus and a splash of Joy Division.

Martin George's edgy vocal cuts through guitar chops over a pulsating electronic rhythm section successfully avoiding cliches of mainstream rock. The live delivery elevates the experience to a whole new level as lead guitar twists and soars taking the audience to some unexpected places.
Stay true to yourself and the rest will follow.
