Aside from the acoustic guitar, another factor contributing to me stumbling upon Kim Lachance's (then fledgling) channel almost two years ago is that she's into 90s alt-rock (and beyond), as well some older jazz.

I finally understand Lachance's singing style much better with respect to her own songs. It's a perfect fit for the latter (as exhibited below, and having chorus tracks blended in obviously strengthens the vocals).

Whereas with respect to the covers she does, you can't help but contrast her subdued singing to the ostentatiousness of the originals.

Not that the covers aren't enjoyable (especially for someone like me who favors acoustic music), but I'm often left wondering: Would someone else get this manner of vocalization if I posted a link to it? Now this original song provides a reference for what she's trying to achieve with respect to her own interpretative orientation directed at covers.

She lives in Canada (like Corey Heuvel), but this video was produced in Melbourne by Papermoon Projects. Not sure who the other member of the "Two Bad Bricks" duo is -- probably obvious somewhere or in some way, but it's zooming over my head.

Video with excerpts of how the song/album was made: https://youtu.be/yBH36nS5Gd8

Meg Pfeiffer & Luca Stricagnoli: "MACHINE" (studio version)
https://youtu.be/09wAUhfID0c

INTRO: It was about time to publish a collaboration with my super talented wife Meg Pfeiffer We 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 Meg and I really do a 50/50 mix of our respective fields (songwriting and Fingerstyle guitar), so we hope you enjoy this work. 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 by the Glen Canyon. We flew there specifically, and the video shoot took quite some time, so we got slightly sunburnt in the process, but it was worth it.

Thank you to our friends @WilliamJosephTV and Jenna Kerr Schwartz for helping us with the locations and the equipment. You can support us by streaming the song for free on Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms.
