i do all the noises, beats, vocals, guitars, basses, bongs, virtual synths, sampling, drums, mouth noises, mixing, mastering, and burning the cds. in the past i've had help from: my Cosmik Wife Nalan, mainly on vocals, both deliberate and accidental; Dodgy D J Dave, on synergistic bitheremin, accidental vocals, and old-school modular synths; and a couple of sampled folk have unknowingly helped out on a few tracks... but mostly it's just me, low-fi bedroom-core.
Influences
my Cosmik Wife, Nalan; my favourite professor of feline studies, Dr Chops; the musical theories of the InterwebMegalink; the modern possibilities of breaking genre-boundaries with sampling; the triumphs and failures of my entire life; a wide range of top-quality drugs; every single sound i've ever heard.
Sounds Like
imagine squarepusher and johnny cash fighting over who gets to eat a dictaphone that's playing back aphex twin's version of david bowie's "heroes" mashed-up with kid 606's remix of NWA's "fuck tha police", while a dj accidentally scratches his robert johnson and nick drake records in the background, spilling his gin and tonic into his laptop, which immediately becomes alive and begins playing a glitch-version of "electric dreams" cut into some weird acoustic-guitar versions of atari teenage riot, accidentally skipping.
Hi there, i'm A d macHine. This is the page for my solo electronic stuff.
I have many many many other projects too, but i'm not going to waste your time here going into them all here. I'll keep this short and sweet. At least short, anyway.
Since 1997 or so, I've made about 19 albums under the "a d macHine" name:
"awaiting the mutant child" (8-bit 4-tracks music) "music for a dark cartoon" (8-bit cartoon samples and distorted beats) "careless thumbs break the yolk of the moon" (8-bit jazz played by alien robots) "break ob day" (electronic blues and other weird vocal anomalies) "admacdaddy" (my first foray into true aussie hiphop) "ultra milde shag" (weird electro excursions inspired by bogdan racynski) "massif" (preston-school hiphop and breakbeats) "a d machine cat" (more preston-specific rap and broken beats) "joon" (dunno, low tone experiments and weirdness) "girth" (more of the same, with some bluesy elements) "filke mojo" (breakbeat-blues album, inspired by my girlfriend of 9 years leaving me for one of my best friends) "bleek" (acoustic guitar and breakbeats, sad and fucked up) "turnin dust into stars" (melancholy country-and-western breakbeat album, channelling the sadness into wikkid beats) "like snow n supernovae" (drug-fuelled depressive acoustic guitar meets breakbeats and grindcore samples) "tehkno du zeuhl" (a distraction, basically zeuhlian techno - google "zeuhl" and it'll tell you what i mean) "whinge" (depressive rap, acoustics and breakbeats collide in a massive whinge) "being a leaf" (about the nervousness of getting back together again) "greev" (second country album, inspired by getting Cosmikly Married, and having my mum die unexpectedly) "one plus two is three" (about me, my Cosmik Wife, and the very fluffy Dr Chops, all being a happy family). "geet" (guitar loop improvisations) and "an actual baby" (about impending fatherhood).
Do you like to go "bump" in the night? You sure do! Are you ready for this year's Thereminstrosity? You bet you are!
This Saturday (Oct17), the low priests present the Third Annual Theremin Festival "The Cabinet of Dr.Thereminstrosity". A night assured to be full of eeriness, silliness and explosive fun! With influences ranging from jazz, horror soundtracks, goth, punk and rock, the low priests, Justin Ashworth and Space Zombies from the Moon showcase the rarely seen versatility of this fine instrument.
So don your spooky outifts or come as you are but make sure you can at least tap your toes in "those" shoes of yours as you strap yourself in for one hell of a spookily fun ghost-train.
POS is definately formulaic. And that becomes sickeningly clear when him and his brother went through that phase where they would play every week at Teratology. But POS isn't the only thing that guy does. In my opinion, every grind band he's been in has been seriously good, tight etc. Which I think can tell you a lot about where his head is at, priority-wise. Some people are willing to sacrifice their lives and the lives of others for shitwank. its no joke.
[i posted that on my page too. that was great. thanks heaps. im about to write about similar shit, so it should be turn into something]
