His Story

The Big Confusion, whose real name is Nuno, was born in December. He started out playing bass, but then turned to synths and hasn't let go of them.

"I think I've always made music in my head; as far back as I can remember, there's always been music at home; it was a daily presence, as was the desire to make music. This music started to express itself out of my head around 2004 and the first live appearance of The Big Confusion was on a Saturday night in May 2005, when it was still me playing bass, programming a Roland mc303 and vocals, with a friend playing electric guitar; this was still in Portugal; maybe 3 months later I moved to Barcelona, and The Big Confusion took the form you know today.

I was born and raised in the interior of Portugal, in a small village in the Serra da Estrela, the most mysterious mountains, dominated by mists and strangely shaped rocks, around dark lakes; I moved to Barcelona 15 years ago where I still live."

About The Name

"The Big Confusion... was my artistic name from the beginning, for the musical project and for any artistic project I may participate in or collaborate with; there's no real "why", it was just a phrase that ran through my head over and over again and seemed appropriate at the time.

As time and life went on, we understood and discovered that The Big Confusion is me, it's you, it's all around us and you can't escape. Nobody Can Escape."

Anecdotes

"The most relevant participation with other artists was when I played in Berlin at the Berlin-Reykjavik-Damas festival, organized by Hanin Elias, co-founder of Atari Teenage Riot (Thank you Hanin), to raise money to help families in need, victims of the Sirian war; I had the chance to play that night on the same stage as artists like James Cook, Nemo, Electrosexual, Hanin also did a presentation, among other artists, at the same time on the 3 cities, and it was a very pleasant and positive experience.

For the fans, there's always a big thank you for feeling that way, the way each of you can feel and thank you for being a part of The Big Confusion."

Musical Influences

"A lot; in the music world there's IAMX, Placebo, a lot of 90's alternative, more recently bands like Crystal Castles, Aesthetic Perfection, Sidewalks and Skeletons, as well as TR / ST, Solar Fake... and other artists with mostly darker electronic influences; also the weirder side of the world, unusual and weird stuff and of course personal events, maybe the biggest influence in how my music is shaped."
