If there’s such a thing as “vampire music” Bryan Paul Bell might be making it. After all, his music’s presence on such shows as “The Vampire Diaries” and “What We Do in the Shadows” is what launched his career.
With an often dark, gothic blues vibe, Bryan’s music explores the unconscious origins of human desire and behavior. He attributes many of his songs’ themes to the insights he gained during his time working as a professional hypnotist; helping people recognize the role their “hidden selves” play in creating the chaos and contradiction they experience in their lives.
With his latest release—the full-length LP Midnight on a Dead Man’s Boat—listeners experience an array of addictive tunes that feature his signature roots-based, guitar-driven style.
The album’s title is drawn from a real-life experience of a voyage he and his brother undertook returning a deceased friend’s sailboat to California from Cabo San Lucas. Late at night, alone at the helm, Bryan noticed that the sound of the swells crashing against the boat and the rigging clanging against the mast created the illusion that music was playing somewhere in the distance.
While he recognized that this “music” was an illusion created from the rhythms and white noise around him, it prompted him to consider that the experience of music is always a reflection of the listener.
