Machine Cult is an electronic music platform hosted by Déandrah and Garçon Taupe. Functions on one side as a record label. On the other, an event series showcasing a part of what the local and international scene the Netherlands has to offer. Edition one is taking place in OT301 (Amsterdam) on the 25th of November.
Scouring from the surfaces of Amsterdam and Rotterdam comes out 6 original tracks composed by the following artists.
Déandrah (AMS), Garçon Taupe (AMS), marienus (RTM), MoodSwings (AMS), The Spy (AMS) and xceptor (RTM).
In a world where we have too many choices, but not enough guts to pursue any of them, motivational speaking and councillors become the next billionaires, to inject the fearful with confidence so that they may excel at their passion and make the world a better place by self adoration, collaboration and not competition.
Intricacies of noise, self-development of taste and homages to past times, a compilation of works from new upcomers and scene veterans. Having captured the face of a pseudo-mentalist, these artists have noted the effect of the long exposure to sound that may have affected their biomechanical characteristics.
For a while, you will discover new things, and it is all so exciting and fresh, because this altered state gives you new perception, in and hindsight. Music Theory, out of all things, can also have some pretty nasty effects on your body. All of it can mean you can start suffering long before you become a musician.
You’ll probably start looking ill, losing weight and feeling like you might deserve it.You’ll begin to play instruments not to get high anymore, but only because that is your new standardised norm. You simply don’t know what else to do. As you lose control of your body’s health you could eventually lose control over your mind too.
Until one day you’ll wake up knowing that, instead of continuing investing yourself in your instruments, they slowly become controlling towards you. So, if a friend invites you to a jam session, use your brain, while you still can. And just, say, yes.
