Kris and Joel's New Project, Digital Tape Machine

PRESS RELEASES—Tue, Mar 16th, 2010
Over the 18 months, Chicago recording artists have been teaming up in I.V. Labs Recording Studio to work on an album entitled The Elephant in the Room. Dan Rucinski (Land of Atlantis) has put together a cast to collaborate on this music licensing studio project called Digital Tape Machine. Kris Myers is the percussion backbone and the driving force, along with being co-producer. His drumming is featured on all ten tracks of the album, which will be released in June 2010. During brief breaks from their U.S. tours Kris joined his bandmate Joel Cummins and would stop in for recording sessions before heading back on the road.

This debut album originated from songwriter Rucinski’s dance/electronic/rock/hip hop vision and molded into what some might call video game music. This entire album showcases each contributing artist’s strengths and individual flavor. Chicago’s Chris Harden co-produced, recorded, and mixed eight songs, and Manny Sanchez (I.V. Lab engineer, producer) mixed two, keeping this project “in the family.” The ten tracks on this album feature a melting pot of many genres of music -- hard hitting dance sections followed by soaring guitar sections backed by string arrangements that give the listener some ear candy.
