SOUL IN THE MACHINE

About Me

SOULINTHEMACHINE.COM

Eight thousand pounds of stainless steel mayhem. Soul in the Machine is an electronic music performance act which combines music, technology and sculpture. The sculptures, which double as electronic instruments, are fabricated in house and infused with custom circuitry, enabling the band members to create a one of a kind show. The result is live electronic music which is uniquely visual as well as aural.
Five years from now, the instruments will all be different. We are constantly learning more and we will always evolve.

Sounds Like: Chicken.To get the full effect, you've gotta see it as well as hear it. Every time a note is played, there's a corresponding visual event. When a drum is struck, it lights up. When a laser beam is broken, the synthesizer plays a note.
