Former emo kid finds creative freedom in poetry.

Born in Turin, I am currently based in Oslo. 
Playing as a DJ since 2003, in 2010 I started composing tracks ranging from ambient to techno while studying sound design. In recent years I approached different sounds like Dub Techno, Detroit, Funk and House, exploring different musical identities.

Soul of the Machine is a post-industrial duo from central Ohio with a wide variety of influences, exploring a diverse sonic pallet both under that moniker and as the various "Machine __" spin off projects. Members include Dave Williams and Nick Bain, and the group has been active since 2005.

New releases will also be posted on Facebook.

Towering over the battlefield, still ablaze, beset by scorched earth, the raiders enrage the sky. Barbaric whips of laser flame spray from their canons, taunting and commanding the machines below. Emerging over the vast wasteland, the endless, industrial forge, looms on the horizon. This is a world destroyed and rebuilt with machine. This is the death of humanity. The spark ignites. The robot army comes online.

lad in leather and lights, Black Signal (2 time winner: Cincinnati Entertainment Award for Best Electronic Act) is a 2 piece, live cyberpunk/synth metal band. Synth and guitar mesh with digital drums as they navigate the stage of programmed lights and visual flair. Inspired by a love for retro video games and sci-fi movies, the live show is an interactive experience narrated through projected visuals with a HAL 9000 style sentient computer named Alice.
