Hopeful Machines

Hopeful Machines is a solo electronic music project of Ego Likeness member Steven Archer. He states that he uses this project as a sandbox for playing with sound and ideas, that it's about exploring "very complex sounds, and how much of that I can put in a piece of music before it becomes too much."[1] Many of his releases are available free for download in various forms.

Reception

Archer's motto for the project is "Electronica for Sociopaths",[2] which has been echoed in several reviews.[3][4][5]

gollark: I'll try imagemagicking it.
gollark: Did you go through "discobot"'s tutorial thing?
gollark: ... because of course Discord can't preview SVGs for some reason...
gollark: Apparently it gives you this nice certificate.
gollark: Wikipedia seems to suggest that they exist, but are very very low power and wouldn't work for power armour.
