Self Made Man, by Mike Brunacini
track by Mike Brunacini
I have a new song out for #bandcampfriday
I've heard people asking "where's the modern protest music?" and I think this counts. It's more Randy Newman, than Bob Dylan. It's from the perspective of a billionaire claiming to be a self made man.

New song out tomorrow for Bandcamp Friday! It's about billionaires and how stupid it is that they exist.

"Self Made Man" tells the inspiring story of a filthy-rich, entitled man who became a billionaire all on his own by inheriting his family's wealth and exploiting the working class.

Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday and I have a new song that will be released for the occasion.
@kristenbrunacini.bsky.social heard the song and made this paper collage which now serves as the cover art for the song.

Where's the Orchestra? - Billy Joel - Live in the Attic
YouTube video by Mike Brunacini
Here's a cover of my favorite Billy Joel song, "Where's the Orchestra?". Yes. Out of all his songs, this one is my favorite. I love everything about this song, and I feel something every time I play it or listen to it.

New song "Self Made Man" coming soon. It's dedicated to all the "self made" billionaires who are destroying the world because they can never have enough. I'm in full protest mode.

Trying to Be Happy - Live in the Attic
YouTube video by Mike Brunacini
Aren't we all just trying to be happy? Imagine being able to exist, spend time with loved ones while doing meaningful work that benefits your community. Imagine not funneling all our resources to 10 assholes who are destroying our world.

Wasteland - Live in the Attic
YouTube video by Mike Brunacini
This one is about a guy responding to some sort of apocalyptic news by going to a bar and getting absolutely smashed one last time.

The Missing Piece - Live in the Attic
YouTube video by Mike Brunacini
I had this melody kicking around for a while. I watched A24's "I Saw the TV Glow" and when it ended, I sat in the dark, alone and devastated for about 15 minutes. The next day these words appeared in my brain.

Mike Brunacini - Live in the Attic - YouTube
A series of videos where I play songs live in my attic studio.
I'm hoping to make these live videos a regular thing. There's even a playlist for it. Each new video is automatically added so you don't even need to look around. There are 4 videos up now, 3 more on the way.

Participation Trophies - Live in the Attic
YouTube video by Mike Brunacini
Another newer song. This one begins and ends with my proposal for a new US national anthem.
"Steadfast and brave, riding high in a truck.
We park over the lines.
Just leave your shopping cart there, you'll be fine.
Ignore the handicap signs."

Sodium Vapor Lights - Live in the Attic
YouTube video by Mike Brunacini
This is the first video in a new series called "Live in the Attic". I choose a new song called "Sodium Vapor Lights" and I feel like a lot of you might relate to it. I hope you like it. I'll try to post videos like this regularly.

As someone who was made fun of in school for my (admittedly neurodivergent) interest in Billy Joel's music, this is how it feels seeing everyone catch up after the documentary.

Aftergloom on Apple Music
Listen to music by Aftergloom on AppleΒ Music.
All three Don't Wake the Dreamer albums are finally up on Apple Music! I had some issues clearing the ambient soundscapes and found sounds through Apple's copyright detection system but we did it.

I've had a wild four year run. I'm so proud of all five of these albums. I genuinely can't believe all this in that time. Pick one. Any one of these and give it an honest shot. I bet you'll end up listening to another.

Song-by-song story run down:
Pt. III | Track 3
Keep the Dream Alive
Marsha becomes concerned that she's losing control of her dream. It begins collapsing around her, but at the last minute she creates a doorway made of clouds and passes through it to keep the dream alive.
