Who'd have thought recordings of the hums of broken, dust-clogged heaters could sound so ... good? Granted, Kevin Doherty, the man behind SleepResearch_Facility, relies heavily on digital manipulation to create his dark, hypnotic, sleep-inducing "music." Listeners find themselves wondering what exactly the sources of his sounds are, as the generally beatless ambience gently hums and pulsates. For an optimal listening experience, follow Kevin’s recommendation and try to imagine yourself shrunken down to microscopic size and walking through the interior of his sound sources. Dead Weather Machine is a long but truly unique and rewarding journey into the expanse of avant-garde experimentation (should one complete the journey).
