Machine is a music video with an acoustic guitar sound presented by Meg Pfeiffer and Luca Stricagnoli of the United States. This song and music video makes me want to sway and dance. The song has a smooth western feel with a touch of Arabian influence in the acoustic sound. Meg Pfeiffer’s sultry, soulful voice is a perfect compliment to the duo. The acoustic guitar play is excellent with its steady beat and balladic tone.

We, Meg Pfeiffer and Luca Stricagnoli, recently released an album together named Unsent, and since the track Machine was one of the most beloved, we decided to create an acoustic version of it. 

It is the first time we really do a 50/50 mix of our respective fields (songwriting and fingerstyle guitar). 

Machine has just one basic chord and is performed in double harmonic major scale, which gives it this mysterious vibe. That’s why we decided to shoot the video in the desert, more specifically in Page, Arizona close to the Glen Canyon. 

The video shoot took an entire day, and was shot by ourselves. We used a Sigma lens and a Panasonic video camera.
