The last words of a person on their deathbed are often their most poetic -- moments of clarity, honesty and wisdom. Perhaps that's merely a filmic truth, but it is certainly captured by Downpour, who creates lyrical documents of machine death. Beat boxes and sequencers at the point of collapse cough up phlegmatic rhythms and fragile tones marred by hoarse distortion. Irregularity and malfunction set paces that are impossible to follow and predict. Yet, behind all the cacophony, there is a warmth and a peace as luminous, cavernous drones create a strange womblike comfort.
