Take a moment to listen… in darkness and introspection.


I started out in music somewhat reluctantly studying classical piano and reading music theory. From there I moved on to playing guitar, and rocking out in a series of bands during my adolescence. A few years ago I purchased an Alesis iO|2 USB interface so I could start jotting down some ideas I’d been having with the guitar. I realised that layering up tracks was great fun and gave me a lot more scope and creative license than I’d previously had strumming a few chords in my bedroom. Essentially, I now had my own band and they did whatever I told them, stayed perfectly in time and never went out of tune. Mega. Sadly my creations lacked rhythm, as recording live drums is a pain in the posterior, so I went online and downloaded a very basic loop machine. Making loops is also fun. Then I found a bass synthesiser and a few digital FX generators. Before I knew it recording a few guitar licks had spiralled into a full on electro project. And that takes me to today, still searching for that unique sound, still trying to craft the perfect beat, still pushing for the grimiest bass, one day……..maybe.....one day.

I'm now on Facebook, so please be commenting and liking and all that jazz, Cheers. All welcome ^_^

You can't understand the blues until you've had your heart broken by a woman, and you can't understand Techno until you've had group sex on Ecstasy.

I'm 20 yo and making some Deep House beats.

MORFINE MACHINE is a space rock metal outfit based in Rotterdam ( the netherlands).
The band was formed a couple of years ago by Roderik Voshol (synths) and Patrick Harreman ( guitars/vocals/synths) and completed by bassist Martijn Horsten.

The band is trying to create a fresh new sound based on 70's psychedelic rock music mixed with modern metal guitars. Influences by PINK FLOYD, BLACK SABBATH, JEAN MICHEL JARRE,MINISTRY the band has a real heavy rock sound, with epic synthesiser parts. Making the sound a real psychedelic trip you didnt hear before.

Breaking new grounds is nothing new, Patrick Harreman released his first album in 1990 with USURPER one of holland first extreme metal bands. And will be re-released this year by brazilian Marquee label and by The crypt records USA In 1992 he released the first  out of 3 MOON OF SORROW albums which was one of the first albums mixing metal and gothic music. A sound which is very populair today. In '97 he released the VOYAGE – embrace album with members that later on would be pretty well known as WITHIN TEMPTATION.

Besides producing many albums for other bands Harreman started to do more electronic music.
That's how he met with co conspiritor Roderik Voshol. When patricks house burned down Roderik gave him a room and the whole house became a recording studio where they where experimenting with all kinds of crazy sounds. Feeding eachother which their sound experiments the MORFINE MACHINE sound slowly got togeter.
With deep respect and love for old 70's rockbands like Pink Floyd , the experimental stuff like krautrock, spacerock like Hawkwind and synthsiser music like Jean michel Jarre, Klaus Schultze and Kraftwerk.  Without copying any of it and mixed in a sound that is really in the now. That's the easiest way to describe the MORFINE MACHINE sound.

The band is currently working on their first album “we are all aliens”  which is almost finished.
The album is a 10 track sonic trip taking you on a journey. From almost stoner rock riffs of “Epsilon”, the heavy Ministry meets classic rock of “stay on mars”  to the Pink Floyd like “galaxy travel” the album gives you a wide range of epic sounding rock music.
