Track Comments
"Magic Lights" was the very 1st song of the project named "The Wimshurst's Machine". The video is more a presentation of the band than a real video, but it shows well the music potential of the band, now at their 2nd CD ("A traveller who didn't ask for glory", 2004, and "The Alchemist", 2005). Video clip directed by A. Chiarle and made by A. Chiarle and Gian Paolo Barra for Tree Go Mee Ro productions in early 2004.

"...It is easy to imagine yourself peacefully lounging in a scenic land while listening to these compositions, which use a wide array of acoustic instrumentation backed by ambient electronica." (download.com editor's review) "Listening to the The Wimshurst's Machine (TWM in short) 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 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 others with modern "home made studios". 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. This album reached #2 Top downloaded Electronic album and #26 Overall on the iTunes italian online store on January 12 and 13, 2005! In "The Alchemist" (TWM's second album) the storytelling is about an Alchemist, during the spanish late middle age. Also in this other album you may listen to more than 1 hour of music, ideally the soundtrack of the story the CD itself is telling (that you may also read from the inlay card), flowing as in a movie. Both albums are now available for sale on iTunes! The band decided to give the money raised with the CD sales to Madagascar's orphans (as distance adoption: the band members will use the money to increase their personal donations). We hope you'd enjoy TWM music, and if you'd like to use our music as a soundtrack, you have just to ask us with an email: we are inexpensive, since we have other jobs and play music just for the pleasure of it. |
