The groups in the Nyköping/Oxelösund region of Sweden (Megaptera, The
Protagonist, Morthound) have been pretty thoroughly documented in the
past. But one crucial missing link of this micro-scene has been overlooked,
and not given the deserved recognition. Until now, that is.
Mikael Svensson, founding member of Megaptera, also did his own
project Deaf Machine for a while, though it vanished without
leaving many traces behind. Besides a couple of wildly obscure
self-released tapes, the only other marks were contributions to
seminal compilations such as "In the Butcher's Backyard" (CMI) and
"Death Odors" (Slaughter Prod.).

Not content to rest on the laurels after the successful inaugural
release by Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, the fresh German label Raubbau
has decided to treat Deaf Machine with an ambitious rerelease program
covering two separate CD albums. This first one, "Found Noises",
contains one of the tapes, two tracks culled from compilations, and
one previously unreleased track.

The similarity with Megaptera lies in the frequent use of voice
samples from movies and news broadcasts. But whereas Megaptera relies
on a method with upfront pounding machine rhythms, Deaf Machine opted
for a subtler approach more based on textures and moods. The mix of
muffled voice fragments, disjointed rhythm loops, and crude,
bass-heavy synth-noises sound unlike anything else that came out of
Sweden at the time. A unique sound by a neglected artist that
thankfully no longer will remain a secret within small circles of
cognoscenti.
