Glenn Branca pronunciation.

mattmacneil · 07.09.2009, 11:24 PM

I'm just curious - is it BRAIN-kuh or BRAWN-kuh or something else?

Decayed Rhapsody · 07.09.2009, 11:25 PM

BRAHN-KA

Whichever pronounciation is most dissonant.

demonrail666 · 07.10.2009, 02:57 AM

I've always pronounced it Bran-ka. Dunno if it's right though.

07.10.2009, 02:59 AM

Bra-nka.

demonrail666 · 07.10.2009, 03:08 AM

I say it so it rhymes with wanker.

atsonicpark · 07.10.2009, 03:54 AM

blanka, as in street fighter.

radarmaker · 07.10.2009, 06:22 AM

Think I read somewhere that it's more like 'Brohn-ka'. I've always said 'Bran-ka' though.

Death & the Maiden · 07.10.2009, 06:26 AM

I say "Bron-kuh".

Branca in portugese is the nickname for cocaine or the feminine gender for something white.

I say it like brahn-kah, but everyone else I've listened to in interviews says it like brain-kah.

I don't know, but I smoked cigarettes with him at the Pyramid Arts Center in Rochester, NY before a performance of Symphonies 8 & 10. I don't think I've ever been that shaken up by music before or since. Whoa. What sound! He 'tuned' the amps and had a grad student from Eastman School conduct.
