Biography
BRAEN'S MACHINE are a mysterious studio group whose two albums, released in the early Seventies for the Liuto label, founded by well-known film soundtrack composer PIERO UMILIANI, are incredibly sought-after and reach high prices. Their style is rather similar to that of other 'ghost-groups' of the same period - instrumental music that could be used as a film soundtrack, with fuzz guitar and keyboards to the fore, and rather influenced by psychedelia.
It is quite certain that the name BRAEN'S MACHINE concealed the identities of Umiliani himself and ALESSANDRO ALESSANDRONI, another soundtrack composer and frequent collaborator of ENNIO MORRICONE. They appear as the authors of both albums' tracks with their stage names, BRAEN and GISTERI. Umiliani and Alessandroni also feature on the two singles released in 1971 and 1972 by another 'ghost-group', PAWNSHOP.
