It's powerful and captivating , the sound of La Machine produces a warm and personal music which draws strongly from its traditional roots. A fusion both modern and liberating. ..The duo of firey amazing electro acoustic hurdy-gurdy (G. Jolivet) and bagpipe (J. Barbances) assure its authenticity of the style, and an inventive balance created between these two instruments allows each to explore other musical universes. Doublebass (J-L Cayzac) and percussions (M. Riou) offer a swaying rhythmic layer where you'll feel groovy afro-cuban tones. When Julien pitches his raw and tensioned vocals you'll hear him appropriating traditional songs of Centre France, the result is a fusion that classify La machine at the verycentre of real music.
