Biography
Mécanosphère is a trans-national ( France-Portugal-USA-UK-…) and transonic morphing line-up group music / art project initiated in 2003 and headquartered in Portugal.Infamous for its cathartic live actions and for its hypnagogic, mixed-technique, " debased" and crossover records.
Multiple drumsets and recycled machines and voice and live manipulated sonics collide in a feast of bass & percussion-heavy music made of ruins of hip hop, chaos rock, jazz trash blasts, musique concrète, collage art, cargo cultist conjurations, phantom dub and trans-spectral drone transmissions.
