HUFFPO EXCLUSIVE

Music: diNMachine

Video: Azazel Jacobs

Camera: Tobias Datum

Performance: Debra Winger

According to its songwriter, Michael Schumacher…

“‘Brisé,’ written for choreographer Liz Gerring, features bits of glass, hanging like a mobile from strings, for part of the percussion track, the recording of waves—recorded on a trip to San Francisco—and a field recording of children in a playground in Berlin.”

And according to director Azazel Jacobs…

"Brisé" played in a loop from a small speaker while we made this video. We - cinematographer Tobias Datum, actress Debra Winger, and myself - had few preconceived ideas of what would occur during the shooting, but it felt far from being free form. The song itself, already loaded with story, has such a strong sense of place and particular grounding that it felt more like being led, than trying to find our way.

We started at the beginning. Syncing up the sound of water with an image of it literally forced us to be on the same track. We began raising questions while simultaneously shooting; Who is this woman? How long has she been here? Where is she going…? We trusted the music to reveal any needed answers, all we had to do was listen.

I’ve never had a chance to work this way - to tell a story from the score, rather than the usual opposite. I believe it's a testament to the song, to the work of diNMachine, that the tables could be turned so and that I am still walking away with the feeling of making something personal. The woman that Debra so beautifully brought to life, and Tobi was able to capture, is someone that I feel I now know. She will remain on my mind, wondering whether this is a story of her survival or her destruction. Perhaps, it's more similar to the definition of "Brisé": (something I have only thought of looking up now) a ballet movement in which the dancer jumps off one foot, beats the legs together, and lands on both feet.

Ah. So she makes it.

Interview with dINMachine - Dance To Reason MTM's Joshua Smotherman recently reviewed diNMachine's "Dance To Reason." We figured it was high time we got to know a bit more about this sound artist…

diNMachine bridges gap from 90's club music to the bleeding edge of electronica

Known for their amoebic rock grooves and sonic experimentalism, NYC’s diNMachine never disappoint with their wild electronic musical leanings. Adding turntable impresario DJ OLIVE to the (re)mix makes for an even more intoxicating network of sounds, landing somewhere between Aphex Twin and Diplo. The use of Dubstep and other contemporary techniques makes this track feel like a cultural touchstone of sorts, bridging the gap from 90′s club music to the bleeding edge of electronica. The DJ Olive remix is the first one off the upcoming cassette release, Sang Gween Remixes, from diNMachine, which includes 10 remixes of the single by different DJ’s from around the world plus the original song. The cassette will be released on September 23 by Greedy Dilettante Records.

“For the video to recent single "Dbl Trbl,” the band paired with Russian artist Patrick K.-H. and Greek artist Bestbefore to create an animated accompaniment to the erratic and rhythmically skewed sounds that diNMachine has linked together on this track. Combining warped electronics with muddied cross-genre experimentation and a brittle visual aesthetic, the band looks to pull apart their influences while finding common ground between the aural and cinematic nature of their work. Whether it’s through the driving synth bass sounds of electro funk or a dramatically percussive jazz-influenced melody, the band finds a way to make all these sounds flow together in a persuasive cadence.“ read the whole piece here… <a href="http://Music:  diNMachine from “The Opposites of Unity” Animation: Patrick K.-H.

Great review from Nooga!
