BEAUTY BURIED
IN THE NOISE.

Machine Oil is the electronic project of Everett Dolgner. Death industrial, drone and noise collide with slow, heavy rhythms and melodies half-submerged in distortion.

Built from patterns. Rebuilt in the moment. A solo improvisation can become a full band; the performance changes with the people in the room.

FEEL THE
ROOM CHANGE.

A sound that takes up space.
A structure that refuses to settle.

IS AN
INSTRUMENT.

Record it. Route it. Push it until it changes.

Found sound and field recordings become part of the signal chain. At the Garage residency, even a parrot’s calls became material for sampling and experimentation.
