"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives."

Really beautiful work. Thank you Steve. I feel I've been rinsed clean.

Sounds great Steve.Reminds me of those tracks I played Bass Clarinet and Sax on many years ago.

ETHEREAL AMBIENT SOUNDSCAPES INSPIRED BY GAME OF THRONES AND THE  LORD OF THE RINGS AND MANY OTHERS. RELAX, ENJOY AND DRIFT AWAY.

CTHULHU MYTHOS - ANIMUS

Awaked by the Wind, she opens her eyes.
Heading North, she dives into the deep blue.
With courage and force, she's moving to the Truth.
Leaded by the Wind, she reaches earth at sunrise.

Helped by the Wind, she walks on a steady pace.
Behind her, the sun is showing the way.
Facing her, the mountains shapes an amazing array. 
Heartened by the Wind, she never loses faith. 

Frozen by the Wind, she discovers a new feeling,
Stronger than all the others. 
So the Northern lands will be for ever,
Protected by the Wind, the rebirth place of a human being.

3.   Sleep in or get up early

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

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 :: 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. "

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

FIRST time ever… a proper HARDWARE Live recording! 🛸⭐️

I feel it is the right time to share this one with you guys. To be honest, I was always too shy to post a full live recording and play on a keyboard Live, because I can be quite critical towards my own work haha. It’s time to let that go.. and I hope you enjoy this time travel. This Liveset is based on different cultures, but also different times. It is a mixture of future sounds and oldschool vibes. I love to follow the flow from our bodies, the way we breath, the way we walk, the way we speed up with busy time periods.. and that combined with strong emotions. Life is just one big journey, and for me, focussing on one genre is not natural.

Anyway, hope everyone is well… I MISS YOU! Hope to see you soon.

Hugsss Nadia

Nadia Struiwigh - 🐙  HARDWARE Liveset 21-11-2020

Dj, label owner : Machine label - http://soundcloud.com/machine-label 
With a career spanning over 33 years, Andrew Till is one of few players with a stake in, not only the establishment, but the defining of electronic music in Australia. If ever the term “pioneer” was to be thrown around, it might well be thrown at Andrew Till. And it would stick.
Amidst a budding club and rave culture, hot on the heels of the halcyon summer of love, Andrew Till was amongst the first delivering the new dawn. First as DJ and event organizer, then as co-founder of Australia’s first and most influential electronic label.
Psy-Harmonics burst onto the scene in 1993 and would quickly thrust Till and partner Ollie Olsen onto the world stage, riding at the crest of a new wave of electronica that would crash far beyond our shores. For the next 16 years this label would offer up countless gems, to cement a timeless place in the worldwide pantheon of dance music.
As a dj, and repertoire manager, Andrew Till’s success marks him as elite. His legacy has earned a legion of fans the world over. Launching from hometown Melbourne, his tour schedule is constant: Tokyo, Helsinki, South Africa, Europe, USA, South East Asia, the list goes on and on.
His globetrotting takes in all corners but none more so than Japan. Harboring a particular fascination, Japan has played host with 50+ gigs from the largest festivals & nightclubs including; Ageha, Liquid Room, Womb, Velfare, Nagisa Music Festival, Space Gathering, Total Solar Eclipse festival (Amami-Oshimi) to the most intimate indoor and outdoor venues.
Andrew Till is known for being an innovator: a stylist whose sets are part conjuring act, part act of persuasion: a composite of timing and compositional balance. He mesmerizes with beautifully realized structure and broadens horizons with his call to war: the tension of being swept up in the familiar, and dropped into the unknown.
A view to the horizon and an open minded appraisal of emerging sounds has forged for Andrew Till, the respect of his peers, the endorsement of the music seeking public and continual success on the label front.
In 2009 a new wave surged. Machine Label is the new kid on the block, the techno lovechild, spawned by the club of the same name. Machine is the current driving undercurrent of Andrew Till’s techno fame. Co-owned with Simon Slieker, Machine has become the flag bearer for a procession of burgeoning new talent from Australia and abroad. Machine Club is the monthly embodiment, public outlet and testing ground, whilst Machine Label throws it out to the world.

Andrew continues to deliver forward thinking electronic music as an artist, dj, A&R, manager and mentor. His vast dedication to the development and progression of the culture that became an industry is his inspiration and motivation.

MACHINE is an Australian based record label for deep futuristic techno music.
Established in 2009
