bitnativedance

Bit Native Dances 000-0111 was initially recorded in 1997 and rereleased in remastered form in 2007. The style could be described as "old skool" hard techno. There is a straight 4 to the floor kick and a quite minimalistic (but not minimal) approach to the sound, only few instruments, just hard techno groove.

borgmekanik

borgmekanik started with the first CD Irina Funk on MASCHINENMUSIK in early 2004. Influences range from early progressive-rockers like Pink Floyd or CAN to pop artists like Björk or even ABBA all mangled with a hefty touch of dubby, trippy IDM. The music range from trippy to melancholic, always with a certain groove and jazzy feeling. The overall mood is a bit dark nevertheless...

CAI777

CAI 777 started in the early 1990'ties creating their own acoustic view of a world where magick and industrialism melt together. Influenced by the early Industrial Bands like SPK, Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle and also by ethnic and religious/ritual music they soon found their own way melting a bunch of different styles together.

elektrokaos

ELEKTROKAOS is a project where the focus is on live performances with modular sequencers and synthesizers. The songs are in the area between minimal techno and idm / electronica with a slight flavour of ambient. As everything is improvised without overdubs there is no album, but a lot of songs were recorded.

jana

The debut CD, Iluminatus, from the enigmatic project JANA is not merely an album; it is a profound sonic experience, arguably the most impressive release in the history of MASCHINENMUSIK. From its opening moments, JANA masterfully constructs a sinister atmosphere that is both unsettling and captivating.

Iluminatus weaves a complex tapestry of sound, characterized by its strange symphonic tunes and disquieting choir samples that evoke a sense of ancient dread. These ethereal elements are relentlessly juxtaposed with obscure voicings—whispers, chants, and guttural pronouncements that seem to emerge from the depths of forgotten catacombs—and the visceral impact of heavy machine noises.

As the album unfolds, it immerses the listener in a world where the boundaries between the sacred and the profane blur, creating a soundscape that is both haunting and hypnotic. The use of ritualistic elements, such as tribal drums and metallic clangs, further enhances this atmosphere, drawing listeners into a ritualistic trance.

SekreT

SekreT draws listeners into a world of dark ambient soundtracks, cultivating calm, yet profoundly psychotic atmospheres. They meticulously construct freezing cold, virtual aural sculptures that resonate with a chilling beauty. The music of SekreT is best described as a "complex acoustic gothic film score," reminiscent of a gothic narrative unfolding in extreme slow motion. Within these sprawling, acoustically rich scenes, a multitude of strange and unsettling events occur, yet SekreT consistently maintains a singular focus on their conceptual vision, ensuring every sonic detail contributes to the overarching, disquieting narrative.

TheCheatingMusician

--- TheCheatingMusician is a project that explores the intersection of nostalgia and surrealism in music. The concept is to take the familiar sounds of 60s and 70s home organs and cheap entertainer keyboards, which evoke a sense of nostalgia, and transform them into something entirely new and unexpected.
Imagine the nostalgic, often cheesy, rhythms and styles of 60s/70s home organs and cheap entertainer keyboards. We then feed these into a computer, which algorithmically generates unique chord sequences. These MIDI sequences are then brought to life using 80s New Wave-sounding analog synthesizers. But it doesn't stop there. We weave in unexpected harmonies over these auto-generated, "pop-cheese" foundations. The result? A transformation of "ubersweet candy elevator muzak" into a surreal, Lynchian atmosphere that's both familiar and strangely unsettling.
