The title of this release is not a direct reference to any one thing. Instead it comes from the ideas and portrayals of dystopian societies in movies like Brazil, and Metropolis. The idea that we are becoming slaves to the machine seems more prescient given the rise of technology in our lives: cell phones, computers, tablets, smart TV's...

This work is an impressionistic audio portrait of what being in a giant machine might be like. Sounds of the machine humming and hissing around us all the time. Even the faint sounds that might be musical have a tension to them.
