About

Real name: Alberto Bertapelle

Alberto Bertapelle, better known by his stage name Brainbug, was an Italian symphonic electronic trance music producer and guitarist from Ceggia, Italy. Born: 23 December 1958 Died: 23 November 2016 At the end of 1996, a track took everyone by surprise by its ghastly aspect and its pizzicato strings. "Nightmare" went on to be an international hit and kickstarted the 'Pizzicato… Read moreSyndrome'. Brainbug, a project of Alberto Bertapelle, had another success with "Benedictus", but further singles "The Eighth Dwarf" and "Rain" (with vocals) used the exact same formula and got lost in a sea of similar records: Brooklyn Bounce, Lucid, Max Deejay and even deep house artist Kevin Yost used the 'Pizzicato' sound until it wore thin and obsolete. A cover of "Nightmare" released in 1997 by Space Shuttle (an alias of Dee Jay Sören), was called "We Have A Problem" and added the famous line 'Houston, we have a problem' in the middle break.
