Sleep Research Facility, often abbreviated as SRF, is the moniker under which Kevin Doherty, a Glasgow-based ambient music artist, operates to explore the deeper and more minimal aspects of ambient music. Renowned for crafting soundscapes that tap into the power of sound to affect the subconscious, Sleep Research Facility's music typically focuses on a particular theme or concept, often drawing from environments, quietude, and deep space.

The release of "Nostromo" (2001) marked a significant moment for Sleep Research Facility, as it plunged listeners into the dark and isolated corridors of the titular ship from Ridley Scott's iconic sci-fi film, "Alien." This theme continued with "Deep Frieze" (2007), which transported audiences to the desolate and ice-entombed regions of Antarctica, inviting them to a serene yet profound experience. Following "Deep Frieze," SRF delivered "Stealth" (2012), a project based on the hush and mystery of stealth technology, echoing with the low-frequency and almost imperceptible sounds of invisible aircraft. More recently, works like "Sargo / Posidonia" (unspecified release date) showcase SRF's continuous fascination with the nuances of sound and the immersive qualities of meticulously crafted ambient music, securing Sleep Research Facility's standing in the genre as a purveyor of deep, introspective sonic environments.
