About
Bruno Green's career is spanning over fourteen years, composed of a bunch of albums, a collection of writings (Pare-chocs / Editions Balle d"Argent), 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. Bruno is also a founder member of the Santa Cruz collective & record label Hasta Luego recordings & member of the Colorado based band Lilium, along with Pascal Humbert (16 Horsepower / Woven Hand).
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 & USA, 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 Uncle Tupelo.
Recognized and co-opted by the new Bostonian folk-Americana scene and the Hi'n'dry record-label, Bruno Green has closed his relentless traveler's bag and settled to his music's home land in the spring of 2005. In Cambridge-MA, he has recorded the third volume of his trilogy, Father & son , under the artistic direction of Billy Conway (former Morphine drummer). Surrounded by musicians from the Session Americana collective and by references from American folk (such as Jennifer Kimball, Sean Staples or Jimmy Ryan), Bruno Green continues to explore and build his particular universe of dusty country-folk, ageless poetry and images as beautiful as they are strange, heavy with a more or less distant history.
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.

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.

« Être un acteur est un choix que l'on se pose tout d'abord à un niveau essentiel: ou bien l'on choisit d'exprimer les structures conservatrices de la société et l'on se contente d'être un robot entre les mains du pouvoir, ou bien l'on s'adresse au componants progressistes de cette société pour tenter d'établir un rapport révolutionnaire entre l'art et la vie. » Gian Maria Volontè
