Milwaukee's Ghost in the Machine is the new storm front in
the fusion of Rock and Electronica (of various flavors).
Ghost in the Machine's Rocktronica fuses the crunchy Aggro
punch of Modern Rock, Metal and Hard Rock, the moody
atmosphere of Goth and the Post-modern approach of
Industrial, Techno and Electronica. The resulting sound is
hybrid but one would never know it if one went looking for
seams. There are none. The fusion is brilliant and perfectly
mixed, not to mention original with an eye toward
trailblazing.
Adrenaline
Ghost in the Machine states: Music makes us feel invigorated.
It motivates and drives us. It also angers and saddens us.
It's really another sense by which we experience the world
around us. Ghost in the Machine understands fully how music
reflects life both the good and the bad, hence the
invigoration stirring in a context of shadows û and brings
this understanding through music to help communicate all this
to the listener.
Inspiration
For fueling its Electro-rock fusions, Ghost in the Machine
turns to life in all its facets and the reflector of life û
music itself, of all styles. In Ghost in the MachineÆs view,
ôMusic is another sense to experience the world; thus, life
and music are intimately intertwined. By casting a wide net
and bringing it to bear with utmost focus, Ghost in the
Machine crafts lean, mean compositions that bring a
magnifying glass to life's complexities and do so with keen
listener appeal.
Accomplishments
Ghost in the Machine unleashed in 1998 its self-titled debut
EP upon an audience of listeners that quickly made it a
success. Following the success of Ghost in the Machine, the
following year saw the release of the band's full-length
effort, The Haunting Begins. It brought significant
recognition to the band, which saw itself rise to prominence
in charts at sites such as Mp3.com, Garageband.com and
SoundClick.com. 2005 saw the release of The Repo Session. The
band has just released ôThe One Withinö CD for fan
consumption and work is on track for a new CD, its tentative
title being ôOut of Bodyö.
Ghost in the Machine has proven its worth over and over with
the acclaim that its songs have brought. Many of them have
appeared on network and cable television on channels such as
The Discovery Channel, MTV, VH1, and The Sci-Fi Channel.
Songs such as Supergod and Redemption have been chosen by
corporations such as NIKE, MasterCraft and BEST BUY for DVD
programs. Additionally, Invincible and Embrace have placed
in international songwriting competitions, while Rodeo and
Second Coming have been features and chart toppers on sites
such as Garageband.com and Broadjam.com. The band's cover of
ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man has also been recognized as a fan
favorite. And that's just a portion of the group's acclaim!
Ghost in the Machine is currently working with A&R Select,
the leading independent A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.
