Kendrick Stals is a Drone Music studio sound project based on recorded machinery and electrical systems: ventilation ducts, transformers, refrigerators and fluorescent lighting. These everyday hums are cleaned, tuned and layered so that their pitches form chords.
The pieces start from the mundane and turn it into something close to an organ tone, while keeping the mechanical grain audible. The atmosphere is urban, nocturnal and quietly unsettling. On headphones, the subtle rhythmic flutter of motors becomes part of the music; on speakers, the drones can merge with the real hum of a room.
