Bold, intimate, and innovative, the accordion duo Machine Dream’s repertoire is an exhilarating mix of cross-over world Jazz, Balkan, Prog-Rock, and even Techno-pop. Machine Dream’s interplay of traditional piano accordion and the Eastern Bayan paints lushly textured landscapes, drives into explosive highs, and fades into stark abstraction.

Paul C. Kozlowski on Bayan is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and recording artist who has won multiple awards for his work in scoring avant-garde theater productions and has toured internationally with his ambitious genre-bending group Casperous Vine.

French-born Jeremy Spindler, who plays the piano accordion, has played in a wide range of groups and specializes in the French Musette, Brazilian, and Eastern European musical styles.

“It is their combined interest in world fusion music-- weaving together the common threads among Mediterranean, Arab, European, and South American sounds from the distant past as well as the here and now--that unites them and makes this new endeavor such a welcome return." - Ron Ehmke in Buffalo Spree (12/21).
