10 mins in and its pretty awesome, any idea what the instruments are here?

#82

Ah thanks, good idea. My scale length will probably wind up being 32-34”, depending on where the bridges sound best. Another fine-tuning strategy might be to use beads behind the bridge, like a sitar or tanpura.

Not sure what the processing would be exactly, but on the page it comes from (linked in my last post) is says “two keyboards in just intonation”. My guess would be that they’re running that through spring reverb, delays (possibly at audio rate/karplus strong), and some type of physical resonators.

have you considered piano wire? not sure if it would all be too heavy or how much a roll of the lighter gauge costs, but buying it in bulk might be cheaper than individual strings. Plus then you can go reallly long if you want, Paul Panhuysen/Terry Fox style. Also highly recommend checking this out which came out a couple years ago on O. Gudmundsen Minde-

Yes. Not to get into anything but I find your music spiritual too.

I caught Deathprod at a festival in Oslo last year, he played that track you linked. It was so intensely loud, quite something!
Neneh Cherry played just before or after him on the same stage and Patti Smith was headlining - very mixed bill!

A few recommendations for drone, none of whom exclusively make drones but, when they do, are very good:

Nurse With Wound - Salt Marie Celeste
Organum - Omega
Gastr Del Sol - The Harp Factory on Lake St
Pelt - Ayahuasca

Which one did you post? Seems not to play for me.

This is amazing though:

Thanks!

I posted the second one titled /\ , sorry not to have made that clear!

I originally came across the piece on an NTS mix put together by Kali Malone, which has some other great drone too:

I’ve made a piece with the two function generators I posted a photo of earlier in the thread.

Thank you for sharing there are some really rich textures here. I love it.

Here’s about an hour worth of slow drones

Recorded using Bhob Rainey’s Xynthi Supercollider instrument running on an old Powerbook G4, recorded from the headphone output. My Macbook charger is a poorly grounded off-brand one, so it introduced a lot of hiss and I even picked up very faint piano notes in the second piece from what I can only assume was radio interference. Enjoy.

Lovely sounds.
Did you use the recently shared Xynthi (dropbox link)? Which OS is your G4 running on?

#93

Recently was recording a lot of drone like tracks that I’ve decided to slowly release as an ongoing project. Here is the first release of that project. Hope it is related

i had the great pleasure to see him live several times, including with Faust, and each performance was magical - especially in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern in London, where he played on the bridge behind a giant full-height white sheet upon which his image was projected… ah, what a treat that was.

I’ll have to see if I can find any photos from that gig.

Mostly done with the aid of at least one MS-20, I understand.

This might also be of interest, featuring Michael York who played various acoustic drone instruments with Coil live and on record as well, and a couple of Fenixes:

Thank you. I used a dropbox link shared on Twitter, yes. It’s running 10.3.9.

I’ve been thinking of adding a frequency shifter to my modular setup. Think it might be great drone tool? Any recommendations or sound clips?

I have the Deflector Shield. I haven’t fully explored it yet, but my impression so far is that it’s fairly subtle. Which is often what you want in a drone.

I know Jliat mainly for his funny/incoherent Vital Weekly reviews and for arguing with him at length with him about theories regarding measuring the ‘harshness’ of noise and had almost forgot he’s actually made a load of drone stuff in the past, a recommendation on a noise forum for his “16:05:94” lead me to this page on his site where you can download some" http://www.jliat.com/drones/drones.html

He once sent me a whole box of copies of his LP ‘May’ which is two sides of near-identical ultra minimal drone made I think using some general midi instrument sound? :slight_smile:

I use the Hordijk freq shifter in nearly every drone I put together, it’s a nifty effect.
