Relaxed Machinery artist I’ve Lost currently has an e.p. released on the Feedback Loop Label. Below are three recent reviews.

TWO AMBIENT FUGUE MP3S
The sounds are just select enough, just refined enough, just stretched-to-near-breaking enough to seep into the background. The music presents a dreamstate of melodic progression, each note held until it seems to make a move from one ear to the next, passing like scenes outside the window as you make your way across the country by car. These are “Absence” and “The Big Empty,” the two tracks that comprise Dissociative Fugue, the new free release by I’ve

Steve Brand, Circular Scriptures
In the first release on the new Relaxed Machinery label, Steve Brand offers up a suite of three long-form pieces in a classic abstract style. His tones and layers are cold and deeply packed, a constant and inescapable cold wind of sound peppered with slight alien-tech underpinnings. With each piece clocking in at 20 minutes plus, Brand expertly uses the time to build and deconstruct, over and over, each new form rising as a mutation of the one prior, an endlessly shifting thoughtform. Circular Scriptures hovers on the edge of being quite dark, but Brand’s drones impart

I just got the mail that the “Circular Scriptures” page is live on CDBaby.com! You can find more and longer samples on either the rM/Wordpress page or my MySpace page.
First, let me say that I’m very proud to have been asked to release this album on John Koch-Northrup’s flagship label, relaxedMACHINERY. I look forward to releasing with John again in the near future and expect that you’ll discover lots of new and exciting music on rM.

As part of the launch of the new Relaxed Machinery label, my upcoming release, “Circular Scriptures“ is currently slated for 1.11.10.
Relaxed Machinery is the brainchild of former AtmoWorks dude, John Koch-Northrup. I’ve been helping John with the graphic look and feel, creating his logo, cover template, press release template and wallpaper design. I think we came up with a unique look for all the pieces that says something distinctive about rM, the music and it’s artists.
To my knowledge, rM is going to be a highly unique paradigm as far as labels go, so naturally I think it’ll be a very
