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.

Drone of Arc (disquiet0675)

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.

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

A few years ago, I was addicted to drones. I stopped doing it because I felt I had nothing more to say with it. So it was fun to make one again. It's a single note from a single synthesizer, of course, and the complexity is added by half a dozen of different parameter modifiers on the synth and some fx. I want to mention that this is not the first time I've asked myself: What is complexity? For one thing, certainly the absence of simplicity and the presence of information. This somehow led me to use a bitcrusher for the first draft. I started with fewer bits, because simple means less information, and then allow more bits, which means more information thus more complexity. The result shows listeners how stupid the idea was, and not just because the reverb was behind the bitcrusher. The artefacts of the lower bit rates at the beginning and end seem to increase the complexity, ore something else. So at the end it may not sound like it's going from simple to complex to simple, but it actually is. For me, it was a strange adventure, but I like the result.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0675: Arc of the Drone.
The assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0675 discussion thread on Lines:

Tried to create a ambient drone that subtly transitioned from simple to complex to simple. Hopefully that came across in this piece.  

Created in Ableton Live using Slate + Ash Primaries/Strings, Madrona Labs Sumu, and Amazing Noises Grain Scanner soft instruments. Delay in Ableton along with Phonolyth Cascade reverb were the effects used. Image by Pawel Czerwinski via Unplash.

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.

My contribution to Junto Project 0683 - https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0683-space-shot/70693

The first half of the track I wanted to capture the spaciousness and mystery of a cavernous space station – brutalist in design, surrounded by mist. The second half I wanted to take a deep dive into the inner workings of the station, where we hear the isolated clicks of machines and robots discussing the work being done.

A chance to express my thanks to Johan Eriksson, the guy who created, and offered Automatonism, a soft modular synth, based in Pure Data.
