Melbourne Fringe Focus: MEN/MACHINE

Answered by: Michael Mildren

Describe your show in a tweet: Men/Machine: a father and son play music of and inspired by Kraftwerk on analogue music machines. Just like Kraftwerk only krunchy.

Why did you decide to do Fringe 2015? Existential archiving.

Tell us a bit about the creative team working on the project: Max and Michael Mildren, son and father. Max plays electronic percussion on analogue drum pads and percussion synths. Michael plays analogue synths and sings words through a vocoder. Object_State supply computer-generated and live infrared visual imagery. Michael has played at Big Day Out and appeared on ABC TV. Max was raised in the shadow of his dad's keyboard-stands and produces music under the name Max Gene.

In a fantasy world, who would you be the love child of and why? Joan Of Arc, parthenogenetically.
