PSYCHO MACHINE

What happens when man-machine goes psycho?
Pulsing Synths are heard, Women scream, Men run.
Only one person can save the human race.

Q. Why did Michael start Dream Sequence?
A. After working on Electronic80s for 3 years, his passion for 80s music was the drive to start a music project with an 80s synthesizer sound.

Q. Whats your favorite place to hang out or visit?
A. Where i am living now is stunning... Springwood (NSW) is in the Blue Mountains (Australia) and is a beautiful place to live, I feel very blessed, its truly magical.

A. Now that's a hard question, Its a toss up between Canadian New Wave bands, Koo De Tah, Pseudo Echo, Boxcar. Duran Duran....
I can't pick, next question please. 

Q. Whats next for The Dream Sequence?
A. "Im working on material for the Soundz80s site, kinda like a theme song... but between family (raising 4 kids is a hard job), husband commitments (my wife always comes first) and my crappy health problems, it slows him down alot....

I asked him about his health issue....

"It fucks with my brain (pardon the french)" he replied, 'the pain...and the side effects of medication'.
Michael has been dead twice from a bike accident in the late 1989 (he was hit by a car going 80kmph on his way to work), He broke his pelvis in 4 places, had massive internal bleeding, 28 blood transfusions, torn bladder, dislocated shoulder, broken collarbone and a string of other problems....

                                Michael in 1989

I asked him about being dead.

"That's some weird shit being dead" he said, 'there is a light, a bright wonderful light, that you float in and the feeling is intense, so amazing, like euphoric feeling, that's all i remember'

If that wasn't bad enough, he had another accident at work 3 years ago and damaged his spine, so far he has had 8 spinal injections to fix the nerves and block the pain, but it hasn't worked.

"Music helps me with controlling the pain" he told me, 'Takes me to another place",
'on a positive side, if it hadn't been for the last accident i would have never gone down this path, Funny how life works', he said.

Q. Why did i start this website about Dream Sequence?
A. Apart from being a close friend of Michael's, I love the synthesizer sound of 'Dream Sequence', its different than other synth bands, i hope for Michael's sake that his band/music project really goes somewhere big, because he deserves it.
After all the shit he's been through, and is going through now with his pain, he still remains positive, and it shows in his music.
