Glenn Branca pronunciation.
 
I'm just curious - is it BRAIN-kuh or BRAWN-kuh or something else?

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.

sarramkrop 07.10.2009 02:59 AM

Bra-nka.

demonrail666 07.10.2009 03:08 AM

I say it so it rhymes with wanker.

blanka, as in street fighter.

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

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.
