This twelve-piece touchscreen installation is the fruit of years of experimentation with the recording process of psychedelic band (and fundamental tentacle of Strange Pill's work) The Nyco Project, in an exploratory exercise of the idea that a song is greater than the sum of its parts, but also that the parts are essential for the song to exist.

The New Machine I, II & III are presented in EP format and created with cut-ups of original filmed live performances and brought together into moving paintings. They are in total twelve deconstructable video-collages that respond to touch for full & selective listening. Each touchscreen has 3 sets of headphones for a shared intimate experience.

In The New Machine III, "Don't Say A Word", "Mamma Doom", "Wipe Me To Forget" and "You Bring Me Hope" embody a new form of interactive EP installation that invites perception expansion, by delving deeper in the musical experience and the concept of connectedness, and unveiling the visual narratives absent in an audio recording.

The series combine analogue & digital and look at both the tendency of our brains to merge the parts of a perceived reality into an individual meaning (how we typically perceive music), & the link between the parts and the whole, creating further meanings - an exercise in awakening awareness of the movement between individuality & togetherness as a reciprocating process.

The New Machine started as an artistic concept and with the support of Arts Council Funding England. In 2013 the first series released as an ephemeral app, The New Machine II exhibited temporarily online in 2015 and with The New Machine III we're completing the EP series.

Vinyl LP "The Twelve Seasons" with audios of the entire series are only available at exhibitions & by contacting Strange Pill directly.

The New Machine III has recently been featured in Aesthetica Magazine 's 2019 Anthology "Future Now: 100 contemporary artists".
