FAQ
what is ex machina?
ex machina is a music project founded by Claudio Chiriatti in Trier in 1999. the project is now active in Düsseldorf.
right from the start ex machina used the possibilities of alternative distribution ways of its output over the internet. the first two albums were distributed exclusively over the internet. after a two year hiatus on new releases Claudio signed a contract with the label FUEGO to release its music under that label.
ex machina is not only about music, the music is the basis on which the other activities are build on. the cover, the photos, this website and other profiles on the internet are one unit (entity) and are all done by Claudio. the music is the nucleus of all these things and of course you can just listen to the music or dive deeper if you want.
Claudio is always interested in cooperations with other mediaprojects/musicians, labels, in remix jobs or other cooperations to release the music. If you want to cooperate please, write a short note in the “contact” section or use the e-mail adress down below.
