Dissonant abstractions, high-energy rhythmic workouts, bizarre melodic reveries and minimalist/maximalist drone practices all form part of the musical language that BBLL has developed for well over a decade.

Shortly after leaving Venezuela to settle in Belgium, Ernesto González started creating psychedelic electronic sound under the BBLL moniker, and has since been performing and releasing music around Europe and abroad. He invites both solemn listening and ecstatic dancing, in a mental space where the archaic meets the futuristic, where the earthly meets the cosmic. 

His concerts have attracted many music fans from different horizons, allowing performances in varied contexts ranging from strictly experimental music festivals, such as Échos in the valleys of Le Saix in France, to open-minded nightclubs like Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf or Contact in Tokyo, and everything in between. In 2019, BBLL was selected to be part of the EU’s SHAPE platform, which gave him the opportunity to participate in festivals such as UH in Budapest (HU), Insomnia in Tromso (NO), and GAMMA in Saint Petersburg (RU).

As an active musician in Belgium’s experimental underground, González has been part of numerous free music outfits, including the late Silvester Anfang/Sylvester Anfang II, and he currently plays with the electronic duos Tav Exotic and Carcass Identity, amongst several other projects. In recent years, he has made close ties with other European artists and has formed groups outside of Belgium, such as A.N.I together with Don’t DJ (DE) and High Wolf/BZMC (FR). With releases on different labels such as Kraak, Ekster, Lullabies for Insomniacs, BAKK, and the Rush Hour affiliated No Label series to name a few, BBLL’s output roams freely around today’s musical landscape.
