Machine isoStreams

MACHINE Stream series

frenzy2019-2020

Thank you so much for having me Aura, really had a ball playing last Friday in a Melbourne Warehouse with 500 Crazy Patrons. Connection with the crowd was awesome and great vibes all night. Till next time... x

Quale @ Aura Production Warehouse Party 19th March 2021

Sydney's Albert Chiovenda challenges himself and the listener to immerse themselves in unusual sonic landscapes that slingshot the listener into abstract worlds full of wonder, mystery and self discovery. He believes music is about connecting and invites the listener to challenge themselves to look beyond the music to where the music takes you...the inner self that dwells within... This is music for the mind, as it works on many levels, consciously & subconsciously.

Artists featured in this mix include: Susumu Yokota, Sleeparchive, Robert Rich, Scanner, Steve Roach, Vidna Obmana, Thomas Köner, Inigo Kennedy, Robert Fripp, Jeffrey Fayman

Growing up in the 90's Albert Chiovenda was lucky to exposed to all the crazy Detroit, Dutch & German Techno that was coming out during that era…

Albert has been a playing at events such as 10th Planet, Jungle Punks, Acid Faction, Deep Space, Fuzz Box, Strange Signals, Anomaly, and the infamous Trench events, Machine and Bunker in Melbourne.  The journey started in 1992 when I was sent to Rome, Italy. “I was living in Sydney when I was younger when my parents sent me overseas - I got totally schooled when I was there in the early 90's.. musically & culturally.” It was here that the seeds of what was to be Albert was born and the young Chiovenda, only 17 in 1992, experienced the burgeoning sound of European techno. “All the raves I went to were quite big it was pretty crazy, I was quite young so it was all new to me, so many radio stations played techno 24/7.

His love of ambient music is pronounced in his sets with citing influences in Robert Rich, Steve Roach, Brian Eno, Thomas Köner, Phillip Glass & Steve Reich. Combine this with his techno heroes Stanislav Tolkachev, Inigo Kennedy, Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins, Jay Denham, Female, Regis, Claude Young, Ben Sims, Surgeon, James Ruskin & Developer and you have a performer that redefines the notion of DJ as party room hero, to DJ as cognitive musical therapist

Albert has collaborated with Stanislav Tolkachev and has releases on various labels including Granulart Recordings, Hayes Collective, Evod Music ,SRIE, DVNTT, Music From Exo-Planet with plans for future releases.

Machine Stream 29:  Ranjit Nijjer

“ I like a good documentary movie if anything, can't sit down and get through many other movies these days.”

2.   Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?

3.   Sleep in or get up early
"get up early"

I love experimentation. Especially when it comes to music. I hate making the same sound twice."

Opera if I had to choose. I respect the amount of talent that an opera singer has."

7.   Tell us something no one knows about you?

Machine isoStream 01 :: Lateral

Machine resident Simon Slieker presents the second mix for our 'music for isolation' streams.  
Dive in head first to this excursion of sound
 
SIMON SLIEKER  :: 7 quick lockdown questions  

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 

Whichever one has a sweeping epic hero. Unfortunately this means I have dubious taste in cinema, lacking nuance, eschewing complexity, and constantly craving something to believe in. I’m increasingly disappointed. 

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 

At the moment tea. That’s the morning ritual. But I don’t really like tea, it’s too watery and insipid. But coffee is brutal, so I like to roll off it periodically. Hence the tea. As for alcohol, if you’d asked me last lockdown, it was all about Damned Murphy and his crazy specials, hmmm a spirit, all the fun of the mixed case of wine, may well get this six pack as well, oh and these ciders, and on the way out that shopping trolley with random bottles was so much fun; wow $1.39 for a bottle of citrus stout: bargain! Bleaugh. This time I’ve stopped altogether. Dry. So the tea has become quite the ‘high’. High tea. 

3. Sleep in or get up early 

Ah this is becoming about the contrasting lockdowns: 1 and 2. Lockdown 1 I didn’t sleep, I stayed up the whole time. Lockdown 2 I’m going to bed early and have made a surprise discovery: getting up early. Which sounds bad, like you’re being punished. But it turns out it means you’re getting enough sleep. I’ve not experienced this before so it didn’t make any sense. It’s amazing you should try it. 

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 

I don’t have one.

5. What art movement describes you the best?

Pre-Raphaelite.

6 Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal

Maybe folk. But I think you’ve chosen the four exceptionally problematic and compromised genres there. Were they chosen especially for me? I’m going with folk because when I was 16 I decided to become quite good with a harmonica and I think that had something to do with folk, or Bob Dylan at least. 

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?

I don’t have a favourite listening album. Oh that cat’s out of the bag. Um, I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I think I’m starting to go bald.

Jani Ho presents a very special live electro set for the third in the series of 'music for isolation' streams for Machine.   

JANI HO :: 7 Quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie?
"Easy, Documentary for sure."

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?
"Beer, Of course"

3. Sleep in or get up early
"Sleeping in has been a welcomed change."

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album
"Currently I been enjoying Spiral Deluxe’s "Voodoo Magic”  on Axis.  (Jeff Mills’s jazz band) "

5. What art movement describes you the best?
"Funk, because Im funky!"

6. Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal
"Black Death Metal every time."

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?
 "I'm a model railroad enthusiast. "

Machine isoStream 03 :: Jani Ho (live Set)

Melbourne techno stalwart Ranjit Nijjer lays down some deep hypnotic grooves for stage four of the Machine weekly isoStream series. 

Ranjit Nijjer :: 7 Quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 
"I’ve only managed to get through a couple of movies throughout both lockdowns; action would probably be my top pick of those three."

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 
"A couple of strategically placed coffees throughout the day without fail." 

3. Sleep in or get up early 
"Due to having young kids; it’s always, always, always get up early." 

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 
"Loom Dream by Leif has been a regular in the last 12 months." 

5. What art movement describes you the best? 
"Surrealism"

6 Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal 
"I’d probably have to say folk but all of those aren’t in my regular rotation."

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?
"According to Spotify, my most listened to album of 2019 was Dean Martin’s ‘Italian Love Songs’."
