The Machine Project
The concept
What is a machine? In its simplest meaning, a machine is just another object of everyday life, designed to accomplish certain tasks. They surround us: coffee machines, copying machines, computers, et cetera. We have adapted to them to such a degree that we often no longer notice them. Through the centuries however, man's view of machines has been influenced by cultural, societal and economic changes, and the content and connotations of the term have evolved. With this compilation, our goal has been to investigate the concept of the machine in different ways, and to use it as inspiration for the music.
More than 70 tracks were written and produced specifically for this album. Sadly, not all of these could make it to the final release. The 15 tracks on this album were selected by a jury of individuals from the elektron-users.com forum. Each jury member voted anonymously for the 5 tracks they liked the best from the submissions. The 15 tracks receiving the most votes were declared the winners.
