Human or machine, a duality referring to a well-known spleen of the 21st century, where feelings and sensations collide with the bitter cold of computers and the heat of the engines. Electronica, art-rock, shoegaze, trip-hop: Etienne Machine tends to define its own stylistic blend throughout their multiple releases, creating a connection between the many influences of its members. Etienne Machine’s founders met at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne (CH) in 2018. Since then, the band has grown through multiple collaborations, hence the different vocalists all over their discography. The band is also a co-founder of «La Machinerie», an artistic collective focused on blending rock and electronic music, placing a particular emphasis on this much alive scene and developing a well-tied network of artists and collaborators.
