When Machines Dream

When Machines Dream was founded in the late 90's by John Mendenhall. An Obsession with the sounds of analog synthesizers and drum machines, coupled with a lifelong interest in science fiction formed the basis of his vision for the new project. In this vision, the lines between the virtual and the tactile smear together - synthesis of man & self-actualized machines in a pixilated, dystopian future. The resulting sound is an eclectic mix of Dance, New Wave, Trance and Drum 'N Bass, forged with a vast array of classic and modern synthesizers and Drum Machines. Influenced by a wide variety of electronic music from the last few decades,and profoundly affected as a participant in the 90's rave scene, When Machines Dream draws on these elements and pulls them together to forge a sound that is equally at home on the dancefloor and the iPod.
In addition to When Machines Dream, I am the singer and co-producer of Oscillator X with my musical partner Kyle Ward. When Machines Dream & Oscillator X music has been featured in the video games Pump It Up (Pro, NX2, NXA & Jump(, iDance, Snake 360, Snowball Runner, etc. We have also performed across the USA & Europe. Kyle and I also produce the Eurodance act Coconut and own/ operate the record label SCI Recordings.
