Artist History Scribe Machine, founded in 1998, is the latest in an astounding new wave of electronic acts, loosely grouped in a category often referred to as "intelligent body music" - a mixture of trance-inducing techno, jungle and darkfloor styles intermeshed with haunting melodies and industrially dark noises; reverberating influences from Aphex Twin to Xymox. Behind the Scribe Machine duo is percussionist Cameron Scott, whose programming prowess is mightily augmented by the keyboard and electronic wizardry of Steve Zahler. In the summer of 1999 Scribe Machine signed a record deal with J-Bird Records and in Jan, 2000 they released their first CD, 'isolation loop'. The duo's startling debut, is targeted to be a huge success in all of the electronic and industrial clubs of Europe. Scribe Machine Has two Studios. One in Portland, Strange Void Laboratories, and one in Seattle, Fahrenheit Digital Research Station.

Press Reviews *listen.com: March, 2000 - "Abstract Technostyle maintains crisp, danceable elements.Eccentric effects hover ominously overquietly up-tempo beats." _________________________________________ *mp3.com stations: Talk about cross-contamination of genres. [This] is what happens when Delerium has a lunch with Depeche Mode, and then goes to Ministry of Sound for a drink. Don't expect these Pacific Northwesterners to stay underground long. A must have. --Zero Nine _________________________________________ Believe me - They have some lethal stuff waiting for a listen --The Brain of Typhan _________________________________________ [Scribe machine] Beams you to a ravaged Earth, where humanity hides in the decaying streets and plots to reclaim its destiny from Them, from theTechno-Gods...Deep synths, and steady rhythm.
