Song Machine (device)

Song Machine is a musical device used by Gorillaz to produce the tracks for their episodic series Song Machine.

History
In 2019 Gorillaz members went on individual trips around the world. 2-D, while he was in Beirut, collected parts required to build a machine that Noodle mentioned before. The Song Machine was built sometime in late 2019 and activated on the 28th of January, 2020. In an interview, Russel said that "Song Machine feeds on the unknown, runs on pure chaos". Murdoc suspects that the Horse-masked man is actually someone working for a rival band trying to sneak a peek at Song Machine. The Machine was running continuously up to the release of PAC-MAN on July 20, 2020. It was reactivated in early September and released Strange Timez on September 9, 2020. Then the Machine was running all the time up to the release of the Season One finale, The Lost Chord on December 24, 2020. In May of 2021 the band took the Machine with them on their road trip, when Kong Studios was inoperable for some time.
