"I don't make music, I make it happen" - this has always been Marco Machera's motto. Musician by night, translator by day (or vice versa), he releases new music when he has a reason to do so, in opposition with the business-oriented logic of the music industry. "Dormiveglia" is a reflection on ingenuity and nowadays’ artists, on the crack between imagination and reality which gives life to the mystery – the lucid dream of creation.

“Dormiveglia” features Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto, as well as contributions from Steve Jansen (former member of seminal Japan) and other incredible musicians from around the world.

The video for the song Building Homes was created through artificial intelligence, although "guided" by Marco Machera and artist Alessandra Condello, who constantly investigates the dialogic relationship between traditional art and artificial intelligence. The main objective was to highlight the "mistakes" of AI: the imperfections that bring the resulting images to life, often with a disturbing feel around them.
