Brut nature
What is bruitism? Well, it’s certainly a good question or a permanent doubt. So our artist calls himself Pseudobrutismus Africamus, questioning his true bruitist condition or, directly, not so, but feeling it a lot. Leading a chorus of cows with udders in hand like a kind of next generation pipers, he chases creative and multidisciplinary projects. In music, he creates and recreates pot puppies that urinate in alien urinary their own waters of sleep. Echoes, loops, samples, distorted guitars and an aesthetic frame that seems to escape the gospel of the sun which slept seven days and decided to extend the week to return to the uncertainty principle as a way of life. Dirty noises that sound heavenly.
You go from Dudü boredom to the cloud udders. Is Pseudobruitismus a vivace modus operandi or an allegorically troppo?
Boredom is the spark that ignites all pseudobruitists activities, here in Melilla is the law that prevails, and if you do not want to end up crushed by that huge lead zeppelin there’s no choice but to react. Our natural enemy indirectly has become the main ally and catalyst for various delusions.
Vivace? Sempre!
Vivace? Sempre!
In fact, in a fanatical way, even its very latest consequences, although it may be dangerous ... is well worth the effort.
Pseudobruitismus Africamus, Heavy Metal Brut and Olelé Brut. Do your alter egos share the bills?
I think they share above all losses (expenses are minimal, low budget, you know) and the lack of specificity in their goals and aspirations, and the lack of professionalism and above all ... the deep philosophical seriousness with which we undertake our musical and visual jokes.
However, a clarification: Heavy Metal Brut is a bicephalous entity, the boxer brains of Humper Rolly, most excellent drummer and most excellent in many other musical materials, and Olelé Brut. Sometimes we are helped by other talking heads such as guitarist Mike Mystic Rivers. Heavy Metal Brut is a hymn to friendship and good (and bad) habits.

“Aburrimiento Dudü” is a psychedelic instrumental piece. Do you suckle its udders?
We drink all udder it’s possible, we may not deny any. Boredom Dudü # 1 and Boredom Dudü # 2 were the result of the first games of Heavy Metal Brut, since then, always hungry for novelty things, we’re tirelessly seeking new udders (and old already known, of course) from which to drink: dub, jazz, proto-electronic, grunge, krautrock, noise, Moorish music, bla bla bla ...
“Porno amateur”, is it a principles statement?
Amateursim, for better or for worse, is quite defining what we do. And some porn phonic will should also be there.
Olelé Brut draws portraits of “Einstein catching a wave!”. Is your music real or a fiction?
It depends on what you mean by reality ... I guess that comes from an alternate reality, another dimension that goes beyond yourself. Mental friction is constant but not controlled ... virtually all the music we play is improvised and in contexts quite removed from reality. I often think of the figure of the medium, this music is somehow not ours ...we only act as channels of a higher power that wants to manifest. Try rubbing as accurately as possible against these cosmic events.
And finally in order to conclude that question, as Brian Wilson said: "Reality is not for me."
“Cachorro cacharro”, is a love fruit?
In all, it is one of the fabricated with less affection ... which is a rarity, I'm not too proud of that piece. What’s the failure? It is not the fruit of love, but of negligence.
In your "Surfin’ sessions" emotional udders lie on his back and shoot milk at twilight, sonically speaking. Will you have a tea alone or with someone?
The surfin’ sessions require absolute solitude and a tea too early in the morning. For me they are spiritual pieces, reflecting very rare moods. Emerged as an attempt to imitate the idea of the song "Surf's Up" by the Beach Boys. You know, the music swells up, waves below.
They are very important to me personally, as the most mediumistic I’ve ever done.

You say “Viva el surf”. Is surf an echo?
Surfing is a mental and spiritual discipline, a way of confronting the most important things (and also those that are less so). There are big waves out there, you better be prepared to catch them well and not fall ...

Note: I've never picked up a table.

You get Mozart dirty and then you wash your hands, so your song is my question. ”Pop art goes Mozart”?
Of course! I am a myth-maker and a lover of the icons to burst and Mozart was perhaps my first icon because I grew up with his music, is divine! Mozart is a star for me.
And this track is, incidentally, as a triple tribute: Mozart, of course, the fabulous Wendy Carlos and his synthesized classical music, and finally to The Tornados, the kings of space surf and stars of the productions of Joe Meek, from who I stole the title of one of their songs as a title for my electrojoke.

Is it possible to live “On the rocks” as a “Hamburger Dandy”?
You can live like this and even worse ... and enjoy the most, the range is so wide ... It's only rock and roll, baby.
Returning to the cows upside down, do you drop their marks?
Every day I drop marks of all kinds, from everywhere. And if not, I provoke the appearance of these marks. Luckily they are nice marks, nothing harmful, and always in glowing Technicolor.
What are your wedding influences?
Wedding influences? The day I get married I want Wouldn’t it be nice by The Beach Boys to sound around. And the wedding night, after fulfilling my marital duties I 'll read again Paul et Virginie, Le Enfants Terribles and L’Amour Fou.
If you had a broom, how many roses would you sweep?
None! Roses are not to be swept! They are to give them to pretty girls. Flower Power! Plant roses in your head.
You restrict yourself as anachronistic. Is your art your part?
My art is all I have ... but anything with the appropriate dose of affection, respect, and a bit of heresy can be considered as an art. There are people who can walk very well.
And I find anachronism always more poignant than current days.
Could you turn this question?
Noitseuq siht nrut ouy dluoc!
I can’t understand it, it seems german!
