Description/Reviews: 

Recorded in two separate churches, an empty theater, a coffee roastery, two studio’s and a living room, ‘LOGICA’ has a symphonic, orchestral sound with influences of Mike Oldfield, early King Crimson and Steve Reich.
Christiaan states: "I wanted to achieve the organic sound of a big ensemble playing live, with narrations and layered vocals on top. The result is an immersive concept album about the deep links between mathematics, logic, language, perception, art and physics.”

Description/Reviews: 

‘Inventions’ is a series of songs and videos by Christiaan Bruin exploring the creative process of composing music and writing lyrics. While the videos are about the creative process of making music, the music exists somewhere between symphonic dream-pop, progressive (post-)rock and minimal music.
In this series, interesting ideas in art, mathematics, philosophy and music history are explored, to see how they can be applied in making music. ‘Meta’ is the first physical release containing all 11 songs from series 1 (Autumn 2016) plus 4 additional mixes on CD.
