The Wimshurst’s Machine is an award-winning 8-members italian chillout orchestra who play warm, environmental music. The Wimshurst’s Machine seamlessly cross from chillout to rock and can leap world borders landing in the Airport at runway progressive electronica. Their music is ideal for big-screen productions.
“Listening to the TWM you’d travel into a relaxing world of good music. TWM plays a mix of acoustic and electronic music, sometimes inspired by ancient or traditional tunes (Irish, indian or spanish), mixed with modern sounds, from chill-out to jazz, with a mix of acoustic and electronic instruments. The music of TWM is something that will make you dream. A dream you won’t forget.” (published TWM review)
The Wimshurst’s Machine is a steampunk project born by the music passion of each component and a mad idea, developed between friends and colleagues with little time to play together “in person”. Thanks to modern softwares and computers (as Propellerhead Reason, Apple Garage Band, Symphonic Orchestra, Sound Studio Pro and Apple Soundtrack), it has become possible to play together even when living apart, recording each track separated from the other bandmembers with modern “home made studios”, without loose also the more “common” way to make music: live jamming.
This Wimshurst’s Machine’s first album (A traveller who didn’t ask for glory) is based on the notion that ancient explorers lived most of their lives through violent but incredible adventures. In this album you may read (and listen to) a story that tells about an ancient traveler that obtained glory while he was searching for himself across the world.
