When Machines Dream

WHEN MACHINES DREAM

The New Wave of Euro Tech

When Machines Dream started several years ago as a side project and has, in the last couple of years, become my main musical focus. When Machines Dream songs are featured in the video games iDance, Pump It Up Pro (1 & 2) as well as several DVD's. A new When Machines Dream CD is slated for release on SCI Records later this year in addition to my regular live performance schedule.

Playing live is a large part of the When Machines Dream endeavor. I mainly perform with my musical partner Kyle Ward as When Machines Dream + KaW. Together we have performed all over the US and Europe. For more information on how we do this, please see the post "How When Machines Dream + Kaw Perform Live" in the blog section of my member profile.

When Machines Dream has been influenced by a wide variety of electronic & pop music. From early Kraftwerk & Devo through the 80's New Wave and Synth Pop era, into the 90's House and Trance scenes, Swedish Dance, Industrial, Electro Clash and beyond.

The When Machines Dream sound(s) has been forged with quite a variety of equipment throughout the years (More details in my blog on my profile).
