Live Drone (disquiet0675)

For Disquiet Junto 0675, "Arc of the Drone", we were invited to record a drone piece that began and ended simply but had a complex middle.

For this one I brought in the whole NOSIGNAL Multimedia Lab orchestra. The main drone is from a tortured Nave wavetable, and the motion pads are courtesy of an Alchemy synth. There are also a few layers of vocal samples, some field recordings, shortwave radio, and two layers of ebow guitar. I think people should be able to dance to drones so I put a simple "grimy 909" kick at the bottom of the stack to keep things moving.

The title of the piece refers to the poem "The Devil of Pope Fig Island" by 17th century fabulist Jean de la Fontaine. The cover image is from an 1896 illustration by Charles Eisen, depicting the climactic scene in which an inhabitant of the bedeviled island chases Lucifer off for good by flashing her vulva at him.

Best enjoyed with headphones.

Nothing like a good drone to pass a winter's day. My go to instruments for droning are the Arp 2600 and the Buchla Easel, both of which were tuned to the same pitch. I let them drone on, playing with the resonance, timbre and filter controls as time went by. A third channel was recorded with the two routed through the Cosmos and the "cinema everything" patch on the Zoia. Once in Logic, further effects were added, notably Arturia's Motion and Fragments, along with a lot of panning and faders going up and down. The result is, well a drone, best heard on headphones while under a blanket.

based around a synth pad from the PS1 game "fluid". i added some lightly hand-edited dub drum loops, and later programmed a second kit to play call and response with the dub drums. a bass pulse was added to keep things moving. the "2001 space" patch from newfangled audio's generate synth was layered in, as was an improvised lead piano line. textural samples from mode audio and another PS1 game, "silent hill", help thicken the atmosphere. some quiet volume-faded guitar emerges before the closing vinyl slowdown effect (unfiltered audio's needlepoint vst).
