The solo project of the bass player for Advaita and New Delhi based music producer and engineer, Gaurav Chintamani, The Dirt Machine explores his oblique and tangential take on blues music.
Starting as thematic explorations, the project developed its identity in with the production style of Gaurav. Gritty, edgy, the arrangement and production smear themselves through the tunes, forming what reveals itself as an obvious sonic stamp of "dirt".
The first EP has guest drummers, Gauravs' preferred collaborators, while everything else relies on a symbiotic relationship between his mindset of a musician, recording and mixing engineer and producer.
The band is named after his son's first painting, "The Dirt Machine", which is also the album art for the first EP.
