Disquiet Junto Project 0675: Arc of the Drone

The Assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.

Step 1: You may, yourself, be experienced recording drone music, or you may never have recorded any. You may not even be sure what drone music is, in which case read up a bit. Not matter your experience and familiarity, please give some thought as to what constitutes drone music.

Step 2: Now think about what makes a drone simple and what makes a drone complex.

Step 3: Now record a piece of drone music that begins simple, gets complex, and then gets simple again. And note: The simple drone at the end needn’t necessarily be the same sort of drone with which the piece opens.

Deadline: Monday, December 9, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Disquiet Junto Project 0675: Arc of the Drone

2024 has seen Dani and I getting to play in a room that just happens to have a full size grand piano. Its called the Organ room due to it housing a 200 year old pipe organ but we have kept our dirty little hands of that instrument. Over summer we are going to select a bunch of these improvs for a new album to celebrate our time in this fantastic place

This piece is an attempt to work to two briefs simultaneously, so halF colourlesS is both a haiku interpretation and an arc of drone ... Enjoy! ☺️ I think there could/should be a longer version to really get into the dronosity ... As for a few recent tracks, this makes heavy use of the wonderful Sumu synth from Madrona Labs ...

Ueda Akinari was a Japanese author of the Edo period. His interest in folklore and the supernatural resulted in two masterpieces of Japanese literature, the ghost story collections Ugetsu Monogatari ("Tales of Rain and the Moon") and Harusame Monogatari ("Tales of Spring Rain").

These drone was recorded today Thursday 5th December 2024 in a 3 hours session. I recorded 3 instances of OB-X and 3 of OB-E software synths by Gforce (just bought them 5 days ago) @gforce-software
It starts with an OB-E bass, then one OB-X synth pad and gradually the rest of the synths start joingin the drone party to make things more dense and 
Gradually the first "tame" drone is left alone to resume this brief demo.
Hope you like the sound of these synths, but the other demos I'm working (rhythmic stuff, with the DMX I also bought) are much better to show the Oberheim potential.

Oberheim Drone (disquiet0675)

sound art for disquiet0675.

Organ loops made with a broken casio and played through bone conduction speakers. The speakers were used to vibrate the mesh covering from an a/c fan. Extra layers of nail violin. All recorded with contact mics. No effects, just EQing.

Lyrics - "Change (In the House of Flies)"

I've watched you change 
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I've watched you change
I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
I watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
I look at the cross
Then I look away
Give you the gun
Blow me away
I've watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I've watched you change.
Now you feel Alive
You Feel Alive 
I've watched you change
It's like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh

Lyrics - "Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)"

This town dont feel mine
I'm fast to get away-FAR 

I dressed you in her clothes
Now drive me far - away, away, away 

It feels good to know your mine
Now drive me far - away, away, away
FAR away
I dont care where just FAR - away [x3]
And I dont care 

FAR - away
And I dont care where just FAR - away [x3]
