SleepResearch_Facility – Dead Weather Machine

SleepResearch_Facility is alias of Kevin Doherty, and it focuses on beatless ambient music, with the express purpose of being conductive to sleep, and sleepiness. This album has seemingly his only instance of using rhythmical elements on 2.5. Dead Weather Machine is made of a sole 3 minute recording (included as the “Hidden Track“) of a Tango2 heater (manufactured by Dimplex Heating Ltd) that has been coerced and transformed into the dark ambient drones. The text on the cover reads: “As an exercise in sample manipulation, DWM draws exclusively from source audio generated by swinging a cheap microphone in front of a misfiring heating unit, itself congested with the fibrous dust of advanced decrepitude and exhuming a near death-rattle from its fractured internal respiritory systems.“ 2.1 00:00 2.2 11:56 2.3 18:39 2.4 32:12 2.5 38:23 2.6 47:39 2.7 56:15 Hidden Track 1:07:45
