MH-080 Dying Machines - Nicht Sprechen  Nicht Sprechen is the first release from Dying Machines. The album opens with the dramatic "This, And Other Times" and sets the stage for the rest of the EP with its heavily effected guitars and hypnotic orchestral underpinnings. "Await You" is a slowly evolving track that starts with a lone piano and ends in a swirling galaxy of echoes while "Leaf" is a delicate journey of simplicity and wonder that swells into a cinematic climax before quietly flickering out. "As a Day Fades" is a glacial, nearly static moment on the album that seems to breathe with life as strings slowly come and go. The EP draws to a close with "Some Mistakes Are Bigger Than Others" focusing on a minimalist, emotional piano arrangement. As a whole, Nicht Sprechen quickly draws the listener down into the depths of the Dying Machines' sound and keeps them enveloped there until the last sonic wave dies out. |

| New Orleans multi-talented instrumentalist Thomas Bushbach's interest for music early in life got him training in writing arrangements, and classical training in piano and guitar, giving Dying Machines an epicness that your average musician couldn't bring. The project has an unusual approach to creating the pieces as well, with Bushbach writing the sheet music for the orchestral instruments, and musicians coming in to perform the written pieces before he puts it all together for the final mix. The result is breathtaking, giving the listener who enjoys it an out-of-body spiritual experience from beginning to end. “Await You” is off of Dying Machines’ second record entitled Nicht Sprechen. The track is a very gentle, droning piece with a light piano melody throughout and a vibrating background medley. It sounds like something that would be matched with a slideshow of beautiful nature photography to be displayed in a spa, or a track to perform some tai chi to. Either way, it’s relaxing and thought provoking, and we at IYS suggest you download it if you enjoy taking yourself on musical journeys. - In Your Speakers |
