Nils Brakchi (born 22 November 1968) is a Danish painter and musician raised in the suburban town of Højby, Denmark. He is most widely known for his role as bass player in the Danish rock band Fielfraz. Fielfraz was formed in suburban Højby in the early 1980s together with three school friends. The band quickly found a dedicated local audience and released their debut album Shine in 1990 to great critical acclaim. The album was followed by Electric Eel in 1992 and Slick 1997, the latter of which was also largely appreciated by critics but was a commercially a failure. The band has never officially broken up but ceased to function as a band around 2002. In 2005 Brakchi refocused his career in music by recording and producing his own songs under the name MofoSteel. Compared to Fielfraz the style is playful and eclectic with catchy hooklines and an off-beat humor. Songtitles include ''Green Banan'' and ''King of the Freeway Express''. In recent years he has continued to gather around him a number of musicians from varying genres, performing live in smaller clubs and venues all over Copenhagen. Brakchi has also worked as an artist and painter since 1998, having spent most of his life before then sketching as a hobby. Many of Brakchi's earlier works draw on inspiration from his extensive visits to Morocco, Southern France and the Caribbean. Most frequently, however, Brakchi prefers to create from memory. Seen as a whole his body of work expresses a desire to explore the limits of figurative painting. His works span from the small, simple and spontaneously executed sketches to large scale elaborate canvases. Brakchi continuously explores new materials and means of expression. His work has also adorned several record and magazine covers. In search of a meaningful way to merge his two creative outlets, Brakchi also began experimenting with the medium of music video. His graphic approach to painting translates onto the screen in many different ways; from elaborately painted sets, costume designs and masks to the use of surrealistic landscapes and motifs. As with his painting and music, his work in video is difficult to classify by any one genre. Brakchi currently lives in Østerbro, Copenhagen, with his girlfriend Louise and their son Viggo. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nils Brakchi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
