Ganzer Maschine

The current project, mystified as it is, has its roots in the turf of ambient. The authors experiment with abrasive sonorities pushing stylist boundaries towards abstract/experimental and industrial genres. The common denominator in the Ganzer Maschine’s sound equation is its ideological backbone. The authors aim at defying the stereotypes and altering the inner patterns of thought. The music itself analyzes socio-cultural constructs; it examines and questions such concepts as Roles, Rules, Goals, Language and Values. Such agenda is encoded within the band’s title: in translation from German Ganzer Maschine means a ‘wholesome machine’. The wholesomeness, just like vastness, is expressed with the ambient atmosphere, where the intertwining harsher sound forms resemble a continuous attempt to recalibrate various socio-cultural phenomena. The band prefers live performances to recordings, although does not refrain from the latter completely.
