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." Many of his releases are available free for download in various forms.
