Ariill, by Celer

2 track album...

Hardly anyone could be more devoted to classic drone than Celer. This is one of Celer's many albums, typically exploring the upper register with a fine sensitivity.

Daniel Cooper Clark's insight:

Though Cecile Schott is not strictly speaking doing drone, her latest pieces have that feeling, and occasional actual passages of drone. Anyway, her work is so beautiful, I didn't want to pass her by. At work today I kept her SoundCloud tracks going for hours - made everything slide along so easily.

Daniel Cooper Clark's insight:

Listener comment - "I find this meditation "journey" both an auditory (which is typical) and visual (atypical) venture into a deeply relazing state. Gazing at the transformations of the chakras along with steady thrums of the bass driven rhythms puts me into a "zen like" bliss inside of three minutes. No medication, recreational or otherwise, can attest to such an efficacy...."

Synthetic Mind Decay - Far Far Away

Searching For Answers That Don't Exist (Synthetic Mind Decay 【dark ambient/drone】 “Far Far Away”http://t.co/jM4ZXB1liM)
Daniel Cooper Clark's insight:

The curtain, a funeral pall,

Comes down with the rush of a storm,
And the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, "Man,"
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.

La Monte Young - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

La Monte Thornton Young (born October 14, 1935) is an American avant-garde composer, musician, and artist.

Young is generally recognized as the first minimalist composer.[1] His works have been included among the most important and radical post-World War II avant-garde, experimental, and contemporary music.[according to whom?] Young is especially known for his development of drone music. Both his proto-Fluxus and "minimal" compositions question the nature and definition of music and often stress elements of performance art.

Born in Bern, Idaho, he moved with his family several times in childhood, while his father searched for work before settling in Los Angeles, California. He was raised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He graduated from John Marshall High School and studied at Los Angeles City College. In LA's jazz milieu, he played alongside notable musicians including Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry and Billy Higgins.

Daniel Cooper Clark's insight:

Wikipedia's entry on drone guru La Monte Young has some historical tidbits of interest.

Leaving Winter, by the volume settings folder

5 track album
Daniel Cooper Clark's insight:

Drone music can be understood as dealing with the specific vs. the general. "Pure" drone emphasizes the general - a "wash" of sound. But there must be some specifics there too, often harmonic frequencies or repeated figures, or else it would be featureless and uninteresting. Then there are drone pieces that emphasize the specific - using the drone wash as a background over which to lay a rhythmic or arhythmic, perhaps even melodic, track.  On this allbum M. Beckmann experiments wth varying combinations of specifics and generalities, sometimes even using an intermittent drone wash as a specific against a general background of spikier electronics or field recordings. Fortunately, his work never ventures into melody or fixed rhythm, preserving an overall character pleasing to the "drone mind."

My Little Drony, by Dirty Knobs

1 track album
Daniel Cooper Clark's insight:

Described by the composer as "A drone tribute to My Little Pony," the piece (as you might expect) has no recognizable connection to Hasbro's line of toys for girls. Instead, we get a fulsome rush of big-dimensioned space sound - satisfying in the moment but not likely to be long remembered.

Ellen Fullman-Bass Song

Album: Body Music (1993). Ellen Fullman (1957-- ) is a composer, instrument builder, and performer. She was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and is currently base...
Daniel Cooper Clark's insight:

from otherminds.org -

"Ellen Fullman has been developing the Long String Instrument for more than twenty years, and it has evolved into an astounding expression of artistic individuality. The instrument is based on the longitudinal mode of vibration, with one hundred long wires strung over approximately ninety feet. The strings are attached to the soundboard, much in the same way a harp is constructed. The string goes through a hole in the soundboard, a loop is made, a pin is set in the loop, then the string is pulled against that and attached to the wall at the other end of the room. Some of the wires pass through resonator boxes at sixty and thirty feet, and the bass wires extend for the full distance. Tuning is accomplished in just intonation with ‘C’ clamps at harmonic intervals. The instrument is played is by stroking the string with rosin-covered hands and walking along its length, creating a compression wave, rather than a transverse wave, which would result from the action of plucking. Fullman has also developed various extended techniques to evoke different textures from the instrument."

Whereas electronic drone is spacey and engages the mind, acoustic drone like this piece is earthy and engages the heart. I like both. But I prefer the acoustic - maybe because it's so rare...
