The Blue Void Trilogy

About Me

A career spanning over fourteen years, composed of three albums and as many Ep, a collection of writings (Pare-chocs / Editions Balle dArgent), two documentary movies, "Cruising the Dream" made in 1994 during a long crossing of the United States & "Hi-n-dry a community" made in 2005 in Boston, numerous collaborations with other artists as a musician, sound engineer and producer. All this has finally brought Bruno Green back to his first love and influences: folk-country music.Ploughed, fantasized, digested, this musical direction is the essence of The Blue Void Trilogy, a discographic and artistic project as ambitious as it is consequential that was launched in 2003 by a musician who gladly declares himself as bulimic. This poetical re-appropriation of popular North-American culture roots itself as much in cinema and literature as in music, with confessed references among giants such as John Ford, William Faulkner or John Steinbeck, but also Woodie Guthrie, Neil Young or even Uncle Tupelo.With little preoccupation for his personal exposure, Bruno Green follows his path on the edge of consumerist and media-filled highways, for the joy of a small group of insiders. Between electrical poetry and guitar wood, he has found his own place in this desert that he explores and where one cohabitates.We wont push the offense of saying that it is rare. We will just say that it is precious.

The Blue Void Trilogy is Bruno Green's masterpiece, a tribute to the Old American West & it's related music & literature, three albums recorded between Europe & the USA, featuring great musicians, a poetic roaming through red deserts & rumbling storms, to the sound of rusted banjos, ragged slides & haunted vocals, an astonishing experience...

What the press says : "Triumphant trilogy is Americana at its best".

It is a significant achievement of this trilogy that though it is ambitious in its scope and execution it remains an intimate and humble experience. There are no grandiose statements, no bombast, no attention is drawn unduly towards it, no great claims are made for it - is on a human scale and it is intensely humane.... This is an excellent and important work and one that neatly sums up all that is good about Americana. (David Cowling / Americana.uk / june 2006).

The Blue Void Trilogy comes in a beautiful 3Cd box-set including a 50 pages booklet with lyrics & photos.

News from Bruno Green :

Alright friends, still overwhelmed with many (but great) projects. Most of my time will be in studio in 2008, but hopefully I should be ready with a new Ep next fall & visit Europe for a bunch of cool shows. More soon, stay tuned / May 2008.

I recently made a big move out west (Canada), launched a new mixing/mastering studio & I am currently working on a new album. Busy but exciting times. I'll soon be back. Love you all, miss you too / Sept 2007.
