THE VERBRILLI SOUND is the flagship project of Vancouver based electronic pioneer, Don Verbrilli. He has 2 full length releases: Leisure War and Many Coloured Butterflies, several remixes, plus many licensed tracks on popular compilations. He is also well known for his alter-ego recording project Telefuzz.
The Verbrilli Sound was created by Don Verbrilli and is as much a philosophy of music as it is a verifiable musical act. Verbrilli's claim is that the purest musical creations are not in fact the work of an artist or of a single mind, but are instead the creatures of an intricate and mysterious process called the 'Verbrilli Effect'. The process involves the reception of available atmospheric transmissions, plus a sequence of unforced creative accidents. Theoretically, if the artist is in a proper mindset and musical equipment is at hand, there will be enough electromagnetic energy to attract any number of patterned transmissions from a host of sentient sources.
"Many Coloured Butterflies", the richly textured debut, was released on Seattles Sweet Mother Records in 2000. It received excellent reviews from XLR8R and Mixer magazine, and tracks from the album found their way into the hands, heads and DJ sets of Roni Size, LTJ Bukem, and DJ Krush, amongst others. "Views" was licensed for the Wallpaper Mach 1.5 compilation alongside songs by Thievery Corporation, Air, and Jazzanova.
In 2002 Upstairs Recordings released the Verbrilli Sounds second full length release, Leisure War, it has gone on to be the most successful Upstairs release to date. The album is currently entirely sold out of 2 pressings - look out for an Itunes release in the near future.
In 2004 Upstairs released the compilation, Swankz & Verbrilli: Lifesavers. Verbrilli shares track selections with his good friend and label mate E.D. Swankz. Also included on this release are 2 remixes of his track Honey Czars by recording artists Bussetti and Alucidnation, both well known in the Big Chill community. Laura B, also of Big Chill fame, lends her melodious voice to the track All of the Land. Rumour has it Laura B and Verbrilli have been working together more as of late we cant wait to hear what this alliance brings forth.
Into the future....
Look out for a brand new Telefuzz release in the first half of 2006 and
a fresh new approach to forthcoming Verbrilli Sound tracks that
will hint at Verbrilli's love of jangly 60s pop and late 80s/early 90s
shoegazer sounds. But of course the overall sound will be fresh and unique
in the way that only the 'Verbrilli Effect' can provide.
