Machinist is Zeno van den Broek. Machinist melts sounds, art and space to create a truly sonic architecture. He draws inspiration from modern art, the contemporary city and architecture as a profession. Since 2005 Machinist has created abstract landscapes of sound that are focused on the spatial experience of the auditor. At live performances he collaborates with artists from different fields of work.
Together with Mendel Kaelen, Machinist won the 2009 round of X-Vektor, the Dutch contest for finding underground talent. Machinists election as the best act of 2009 was awarded with a performance on the State-X New Forms Festival and the release of The Unfolded Pigeon Response on 10 inch vinyl.
