Episode 13 - Machine Boy

Although influenced by “Krautrock” Gods like Tangerine Dream,. Kraftwerk and Klaus Schulze, Machine Boy’s own electronic music is not very reminiscent of his German idols. In fact, it is quite unique - industrial and ambient at the same time.

MB is also an accomplished drummer whose influences include Ringo Starr as well as Motley Crew’s Tommy Lee.

On POEM he tells us about his music, how he creates it and more.

BlancNICE

The gentlemen of Blancmange (and their management) have kept their word and kindly put our names down on the guestlist for their Birmingham gig on May 19th! Due to a workshop that I gave on that day, which resulted in tiredness after coming home, we sadly missed out on that opportunity. Nonthless, many thanks to Blancmange for being kind and simply very, very nice people.
