More information: Based in Montreal, Canada, ENIGMATIC SOUND MACHINES is a retro-futuristic project, the brainchild of two childhood friends with a common love for music, philosophy, and the arts.
Jeremie Arrobas is a founding member of Men Without Hats, a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, writer, composer, arranger, and producer. Creator of hundreds of audio, video, and visual arts projects. Thomas Szirmay is a musicologist, researcher, producer, arranger, and writer. Specialist in progressive rock, jazz-fusion and electronic, and has written over 1600 reviews on internet platforms.
The duo started working on their third album having decided to venture even further down the prog path, moving away from previous multi-level stylistics into a more homogenous instrumental sound.
While steadfastly maintaining an emphasis on striking melodies, ESM’s third album takes you on an inner journey, infusing a higher level of symphonics in each track with layers of mellotron, saxophone, flute, lush string orchestrations, overt electric guitars, and percussions. The themes will run the gamut from the perfection of birth, through the meanderings of life and ultimately to the silence of death, forever yearning for a better future, together with the joys of living a worthy existence and enduring the trials and tribulations of a tired world of endless confusion, stress, depression, and ultimately, to reach some higher revelation. “Imperfect Silence” is meant to be listened as a whole and revealing all its intricacies.
Silence is not the absence of sound - it’s the presence of something deeper. In Perfect Silence, the soul-searching centerpiece of Enigmatic Music Machines’ third album, asks a profound question: How do you quantify silence in music?
