About Me
Landscape Body Machine is an electronic Vancouver band with a hybrid sound of equal parts ambient, dance, industrial & techno. Politically and socially minded work, LBM is noted for energetic and passionate live performances which are an exception rather than the norm for most electronic-based artists, where most of the action usually takes place hidden away from sight in front of banks of computers and synthesizers.Influenced by many forms of electronic music such as the likes of Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Brian Eno, Aphex Twin, Orbital, acid house, ambient, trance, and goa., LBM has delivered a wide array of music ranging from moody soundscapes to blitzkrieg dance beats, all tied together with themes intended to provoke further socio-political awareness since it's inception in 1992.As a sound designer, composer and arranger Huxtable produced numerous film soundtracks including Vancouver film maker Patrick Harrison's Armed Rabble films including"Freeworld" and "Map of a Restless Northwest" for the CBC. His music has been featured in many video games including Mad Genius' "Gunmetal" and Steven Spielberg's' "Artificial Intelligence".Landscape Body Machine has played the West Coast constantly over the past 13 years sharing the stage with such acts as Front Line Assembly, Moev, Covenant, Funker Vogt, Snog, And One, Urceus Exit, SVD and more. As well as being a prolific remixer, LBM has collaborated with a wide array of artists and personalities, from bands like Noise Unit and Fidgital to DR. David Suzuki and Noam Chomsky.
