Meet Michael Bruner, a multi-talented producer and vocalist that is carving a bold path in the world of bedroom pop, featuring nuanced production and hypnotic guitar riffs around fragile vocals. He's known for introspective lyrics and production work that play off each other, urging us not to dwell on uncomfortable truths, but rather confront them, in an effort to change for the better.
“If fairies made hyperpop.” is how Bruner describes Vocal Botanica, his new pack for VOX. This pack is his own take on Botanica ("grass type music") which walks the line between ambient, pop, field recordings, and experimental sound design that mimics nature. This new pack is quirky, uplifting, strange, and at times ugly (by choice) but it always feels genuine and unfiltered. It's a very compelling intersection of vocals, nature, and crazy sound design.
Check out this inspiring video that gives you a sneak peak into Bruner's creative mindset, his production process where he takes inspiration from sounds in everyday life, and how happy accidents can be the fuel for an exciting writing process.
