Machinal (Theatrical soundtrack and sound design) Play by Sophie Treadwell.  Production cut mid-stream, 2000.  Music for The University of Colorado's Theatre Buffs 1999-2000 season for their production of Sophie Treadwell's masterpiece, Machinal. The production was terminated early in its development, but after most of the music had been completed. A study of opposites, the music of Machinal stretches taut between these opposites and has proven itself to be the most treasured recordings of this time by M. A. Doherty. Born from the richness of Futurist composer Luigi Russolo's vision, and The Art of Noise's conception of this vision, and smelted by the ensuing industrial music revolution of the 80's and 90's, the themes of Man vs Machine and Internal vs External are molded by the richness of the recording's sampled passages, the elegance of classical piano passages, cellic sections that morph into noise waves, and electro-acoustic-like passages.
