DINMACHINE

Dinmachine is composer Michael J. Schumacher's (mostly) instrumental pop music project, through which he explores his interest in a variety of beat-driven genres in styles ranging from rock to funk to electronic, in the process turning them into something quite eclectic and esoteric. The music is complex, and contrapuntal, structurally unpredictable, drawing from Schumacher's experience as composer, improvisor and sound installation artist. Undergirding the melodic mélange are propulsive beats and often hyperactive bass lines, and a healthy doses of noise, field recordings and found sounds complete the mix.

Started in 2012, dinmachine has released 2 records, on Yocto Yotta (its own label) and Greedy Dilettante. The band's 3rd record is due out this Fall on Yocto Yotta and represents a stripped down approach focussed on drums and analog synthesizers. The current lineup, reflecting the minimalism of the record, is Alex Goldberg on drums/electronic percussion and Schumacher on synths.
