(Machine) by Nathan Bair

An alternative, electronic rock concept album; composed, produced, and mixed all by me. I have been working on putting this album together for over half a year. I kind of always knew where I was wanting to go with it, and how I wanted it to be structured. But once I began producing, I quickly learned it would not be a simple task to make it exactly how I wanted with the equipment and experience I had. I really didn't think I was going to be able to do it, but I believe it came out pretty well. There are still a few minor issues here and there, but It's all a part of the learning process. The concept for this album is fairly broad I suppose. There are a lot of different meanings that can be applied to each song. I wrote the lyrics in a way that would make that possible for me and other people that listen to do that. I really didn't want to give it one definite meaning, because I think a great part about music is that you can kind of apply whatever meaning you would like to it. But I suppose the overall meaning/theme is based upon the confusion and over complication of life today. Technology's rapid advancement, and it's effect on our everyday lives. The original title of this album, “The Hills” come from all of this, our lack of understanding of it, and life in general. This album is the why, the hopelessness, and isolation of it all.
