What is "brainbug"

Brainbug is a symphonic electronic trance music and progressive house project from Venice, created by Italian producer Alberto Bertapelle.

Nightmare appears at the soundtrack of several movies, such as Human Traffic, Playing by Heart, Freddy vs. Jason and A Night at the Roxbury, and is currently played during the second half kick-off at Leeds United home games at Elland Road as well as being the entrance music for the 2013 Elite League Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey team. The music video was directed by Tim Claxton and was inspired by 1950s science fiction films, and the films of Ed Wood.

Further singles The 8th Dwarf (1997) and Rain (1998) took the formula established by Nightmare and Benedictus and explored some different areas. Rain features lyrics by Italian singer Nadia Casari, who also appears in the music video.

Several remixes by various artists have been released on Brainbug's singles, and not all of Bertapelle's originals are obviously titled. "Nightmare (Sinister Strings Mix)" and "Benedictus (Exitiale Mix)" are examples of this. The Maxi-CD release of Rain also features those original mixes, although "Benedictus (Exitiale Mix)", while not labeled as an edit, was edited slightly shorter.

Brainbug has also added his symphonic trance touch to other artists' works through various remixes.
