about
Blue Cast Catalyst, or BCC, is the moniker of New York City-based, psychedelic-pop composer, Adam Trull and a rotating roster of performers. Originally hailing from New Hampshire, Trull is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, song-writer, and producer. Trull got his start in music while studying music-theory and performance in middle-school. While studying business at the University of New Hampshire, Trull performed with regional art-funk project Sweet Motha’ Child, where he met the future co-creators of Blue Cast Catalyst (namely John Deming, Matt Soucy, and others). Blue Cast Catalyst was originally formed as a side-project for Trull, while performing as a trumpet player in Boston-based roots-reggae band iLa Mawana. After relocating to New York City in May 2009, Trull’s artistic endeavors became solely focused upon developing BCC’s music. In early 2011, following the release of his first album, As Bright As Day, Trull stumbled across a Brian Wilson biography. Shortly thereafter, he spent months studying The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Panda Bear / Animal Collective, and other psychedelic musicians and authors. Concurrently, his studies veered his interest to the “Wall of Sound” technique, originated by producer Phil Spector and later tweaked by such artists as My Bloody Valentine and Tame Impala. With the help of John Deming and five other BCC “family-musicians”, Trull began writing and recording the music for his sophomore release, Socrates Sculpture, in October 2011
