When it comes to music, i like many different styles and genres... So for me the idea of following a certain pattern or style on every song, to me, it's something that i personally don't feel attracted too. When i sit down to write an idea for a song, i simply write and record what comes out naturally. I don't try to match the songs. I don't try to fit it into a style or try to make it sound like the previous one or the one coming next. I played metal music all my life. Still do. And GRITOS (which is the Portuguese word for screams) is where i can just do and write what i want without having to explain to the other members why or what the fuck i am doing. With GRITOS i feel free to just be myself and be open artistically with my music, and explore different sounds. Hope you like it, and if you do so, please hit the like button or post a comment. Support, whatever. Thanks!!!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COLLABORATE ON SONGS WITH ME, I AM WELL UP FOR IT!!! So just message me and we can work it out.

 Hello Machine came together in 2008 when Luke Dewitt and Jeff Rebrovich, both veterans of the DeLtroit music scene, decided to create a sound based on their diverse  musical influences and experiences. The result was the 2010 release SONGS FROM AN UNFILMED MOVIE, a journey through the depths of the human psyche and beyond. Highly cinematic and steeped in raw emotion, SONGS FROM AN UNFILMED MOVIE explored incredibly personal themes of loss, deception, evolution and redemption, strapping the listener in and immersing them in scenes that are thought-provoking, while also pushing the sonic envelope.

Now after a year of writing and recording, three new consecutive releases beginning with the forthcoming EP "Bordello", HM again tackles the psyche with relatable themes of various introspective & social attributes bound again by the need to envelop the listener with every note and every word. 

"As odd as it may be to say, I've had all of this music, and all of these arrangements in my head that were in a constant state of contradiction,” explains Rebrovich.  “And we have felt that mainstream music has seemed at times to lack a certain critical element that keeps the listener actually listening, That's where Luke's genius comes to play because he is one of the most brilliantly demented storytellers I've ever gotten the chance to work with. His lyrics pull you in and make you listen. And there is so much amazing music out there that has gone largely unnoticed that does just that,...pulls you in. Go exploring people! It's an exciting time to be a musician & a listener. Anything goes. There's something for everyone."

"This new material is all very exciting for us because, though Luke and I have been friends for years, and in various music incarnations in the past, writing together was mostly in passing and rarely as creatively intense as the writing of these songs."

Nevertheless, Hello Machine is a relentless and passionate project that has only begun its musical allegory.  Constantly creating and exquisitely evolving, Dewitt and Rebrovich are fiercely determined to leave a lasting mark on the modern musical lexicon, boldly declaring “The Future is Ours.”
