SleepResearch_Facility (sometimes abbreviated to SR_F or SRF) is a dark ambient artist from Glasgow, Scotland, specializing in sleep ==Overview== SleepResearch_Facility consists of the single band member Kevin Doherty. His music usually contains no rhythmic elements (one exception is "2.5" on ''Dead Weather Machine''), but instead relies on spacious, extended, richly-textured sounds. Occasionally, true 'musical' elements appear in his work, such as sustained chords (in "c-deck" on ''Nostromo'' for example), but the majority of his compositions consist of evolving layers of manipulated noise and mechanical drones. He deliberately attempts to avoid any sonic elements which would be likely to disturb a sleepy or sleeping listener, such as sudden loud noises.〔Foreshadow Magazine interview〕 The music of SR_F is also intended to create an aural environment which allows listeners to let their thoughts drift, being gently guided (instead of forced) by the music.〔http://www.resonance-net.com/learn.htm (info page of the official website)〕 The following advice is provided for listeners: "recommended playback level: just above quiet". A more detailed overview of SR_F can be found on the (info page ) of the official website. The works of SR_F are inspired by power stations, distant motorways, certain sci-fi movies (e.g. ''Alien'') and various aspects of nature, including thunderstorms, empty frozen tundra, deserts, jungles and rushing water.〔〔General Info section on http://www.myspace.com/sleepresearchfacility〕 Two complete albums (''Dead Weather Machine'' and ''Dead Weather Machine Re:Heat'') were based entirely on the manipulation of a three-minute recording of a malfunctioning Dimplex electric fan heater. So far, all albums by SR_F have been produced or engineered at Somnambu-Lab (also spelled Somnambulab) in Glasgow.〔CD booklets of ''Nostromo'' and ''Dead Weather Machine''〕 The correct spelling of the artist's name is ''SleepResearch_Facility'', but ''Sleep Research Facility'' is a commonly seen variation. In April 2012, a new album called Stealth was released on Cold Spring.〔http://www.coldspring.co.uk/discography/csr159cd.php〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SleepResearch Facility」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
