**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.

An arc of the drone represents the path that seeks a beginning and, through the long notes, seeks an end, even if it does not resemble the beginning, with the “arc” as that moment a musician is open to the journey where there is now knowledge of the beginning and the intent to know the end. And the intent may not even manifest in how the drone ends.

A slow drone with a hint of melody coming through, using only the Terra. I layered two versions of this in Logic, subjecting each of the tracks to different effects and panning - mainly reverb based effects and Arturia's Motion. There is a bit of noise in the mix. At first I struggled to isolate it but then grew to like how it added a bit of grit and also triggered interesting pops and sparkles in the Zoia patch I was using in the initial mix. So, I'm going to consider it an aesthetic choice for now.

Recorded, mixed & mastered on 28/29 Apr 2023 & 11 Jan 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Yesterday, thinking of this week's Haiku and Junto, I had an idea to go back to 2 days in 2023 to start a new album (second start today) & use the two tracks for this week as a starter. This would be similar to my work elsewhere where I have a long stretch of material to chop up into different tracks.

The original material is a bit of mystery to me - Ceclia, FL Studio, PaulXStretch, Reason, Thor, Fracture. I had something that was not close to being anything I wanted tonight. I changed direction and started two new MIDI tracks to run a metallic Collision and a Massive X bass. Then I went back to the first two tracks and applied Fragments and it gelled for me.
