Music is a flag for milestones. If an event is not accompanied by music, then the bird’s song is the moment. I remember when I first opened up to Led Zeppelin; Robert Plant's voice registered on my tympanic membrane while riding in a friend’s convertible. The sun was shining, and he said, "listen to this." I don’t even recall the friend's name, only the freeing feeling that ''Misty Mountain Hop'' sent through my body. For me, life at this point has been a collection of music: pop tunes, television theme songs, ring tones and commercial jingles (which are certainly the most unadulterated form of melody). 

Since I was young, I've been surrounded. Whether it be my mom's cassette tapes streaming through the apartment, music videos, or singing in choirs, music has been the home inside my head. I grew up with a religious yoke around my neck, and church was part of the weekly routine for my small family and I. Sunday mornings were a time when everyone would congregate and sing alongside others; it didn't matter that some weren't vocalists, because in unison many voices created strange and moving harmonies. Now, how misguided a belief system may or may not be is irrelevant. The emotion that can be conveyed through honest and primal expression is moving, and transcends anything I know. It's why when a singer has just come down from a long trip, I can feel the weary melancholy in his voice.

Naturally, the first instrument I picked up in my early teens was a bass; it was a practical decision to learn how to play a guitar with only four strings. Since that day I have expanded in and out of several bands playing lead and rhythm guitar, bass and fronting. Although I am a master of none at this point, I can work my way around any instrument put in front of me. All the music that you’ll hear on the Futures and The Dark Past EPs is created solely by me, with a little help from the machines. Thanks to them, without whom this net would cease to be. Although I have found it difficult to part with my computer for almost any amount of time, I am beginning to understand that god is not in the cogs but in the desire to keep them in motion.

The GODINTHEMACHINE project is based on music the way I see it: edgy, raw, unbound and unpretentious.

Live shows will be relentless and feature other humans. For now however, this project is written, played, produced, mixed and mastered by myself Terence Babych.
