Proud Creature is the project of Todd Brozman a New York-based musician who dabbles in psychedelic, electronica/jazz/ambient sounds.
Tomorrow he returns with his new 5-track EP Opening Creature, giving us a much-needed distraction from the outside world. He creates a trippy soundscape that tells a story on its own, with vivid imagery and emotion that seeps through the speakers straight into the listener’s ears.
From the Artist himself about the creation of his new EP:
Opening Creature EP reflects travels and explorations I’ve had over the past few years. I’m trying to capture the headspace that opens up when we venture out of our default mindset and into something broader and more abstract. For me, these spaces have been explored through travel, dreams, nature, and spiritual exploration. Musically, there’s lots of improvisation with eclectic instrumentation and non-traditional production techniques along with layerings of field recordings from travel, nature and religious prayer. Together, this creates an ethereal and otherworldly tone that underscores the broader themes of the album. As a whole, I am striving for something that feels alive, expansive, mysterious and alluring.
Over the past few years, I have gotten to create some great music with other artists. Now more than ever, I am inspired to release more music as a sole producer and instrumentalist. I hope you enjoy my first album as a solo artist.
