The machine in the botanical garden

The Machine in the Botanical Garden is a growing artistic universe where electronic machines and acoustic instruments coexist — and sometimes collide — to tell emotional, deeply human stories. Most pieces blend analog synth sequences with traditional elements like string quartets, guitars, or full orchestras. This contrast is the heart of the project: like concrete structures overtaken by vines, moss, and wildflowers.

The first two albums give voice to classic poems by writers such as Emily Dickinson, Mary Shelley, and the Brontë sisters. From there, the project moves into a more personal territory, with original lyrics that unfold in a symbolic garden inhabited by imaginary characters. These stories explore inner transformation, identity, memory, and the complex bond between humans and technology.

The vocal parts — when present — are interpreted by AI-generated voices. But every melody, every nuance, every phrasing and inflection is meticulously composed and programmed by me. The machine does not create the music — it performs it, under precise direction.

The Machine in the Botanical Garden aims to go beyond music: it’s a poetic, narrative and philosophical experience where past, present and future blend into one.
