Earlier i was enjoying watching the A4 drone tutorial vid recently posted. I love a good bit of droning so lets hear some!
Heres one to start - its from the Octatrack Science Lab (the one using the Wilhelm scream sample) so its all OT.

Hope we get some good ones using any (or all!!) of the Elektron boxes (would love to hear some MnM efforts - got to love the MnM…)
Here’s a drone track made with just the monomachine:
Really like that babbling brook sort of sound. That’s my own test of a good synth - can it do abstract semi-random stuff like this? 
How did you do this one?
(Glad you enjoyed the tut.)
Hey puxflux - intense and trippy - nice one. The MnM still sounds great to me. I have most of the Elektron stuff (no Rytm) and i still think its my fav.
seenfromspace - my track was all sample manipulation on the OT. There was a group challenge to create tracks using only the Wilhelm scream sample as source material. There were some pretty freaky efforts!
Hope we get some more.
Thanks! Same here, I love the sounds that I can get out of the Monomachine. I have an A4 also and it does not replace the Monomachine at all.
Drone created with a Minimoog Voyager Old School and an Octatrack. With video, shot using a Sony NEX-VG20 and After Effects for Post.
This one is pure A4 and a few static samples / glitches sprinkled on top: https://soundcloud.com/ohexoh/the-singularity
There are splashes of A4 across the other tracks from New Horizon, https://soundcloud.com/ohexoh/sets/new-horizon-sampler
Since releasing that I got some more Elektron gear which will (hopefully) weave their way into my next LP. Whenever that happens.
Awesome guys - filosofem your track is really broody and ominous and i liked the vid a lot too (especially the spinning face thing - freaky)
OH/EX/OH - I haven’t had a chance to listen to all of New Horizon but the first track (Look to the Stars) is very nice. Some great sounds in there. Singularity has a nice dark spaceshippy thing going on. The high pitched tones reminded me of a jam i did with my modular rig and Sonic Potions LXR (the second phase of it)

Hope we get some more
Here’s mine.
Octatrack, Ableton & a million delays and LFO’s
Nice & deffo similar vibes. Love that stuff!! THX
Love the skittering beat that starts to emerge in the final third. Great stuff!!
Has a sort of insecty crystaline icy feel - another good one!
probably harsher and gloomier than most will be able to hang with but here’s a decent chunk of various grime crusted loops, grave-dirt tones, eerie dying-star kosmiche ambience, and post industrial drones to ruin your day:
lots of different gear configurations/ recording methods used on various trax but there’s definitely a lot of elektron action happening. mostly OT as a live-looper, efx processor + running samples of contact mics and scrap metal, a bit of A4 on a few trax, and some monomachine FM.
Thanks bloke!
It was really fun to make, as I normally do pretty straightforward stuff. It’s good to go all soundscape every once in a while

Very post apocalyptic and ominous. Kind of dystopian soundscape - I had to listen on my iPad unfortunately but still got the message! Nicely done.
I made a wee music video for Look To The Stars, you can peep it here. The video uses open source footage from ESO
I also made a video for an track from a few years back. More drone. The video was filmed around my hometown of Rochdale (North Manchester). Pretty apocalyptic

Hey Bloke, thanks for your kind words, that is it’s intention. A dark reflection of a self-righteous institution that controls mankind’s behavior. The ‘spinning faces’ is the Regret Water (Messy Reality) sculpture by Sam Mahon in Hagley Park - Christchurch, New Zealand. Incidentally, a vast majority of that video was captured in Hagley Park during our last dark Winter. The Regret Water sequence is most peoples favorite. The grave statue shot in that same sequence was captured at the Akaroa Roman Catholic and Dissenters cemetery on Banks Peninsula - Canterbury, New Zealand. Banks Peninsula, named after Joseph Banks of the HMS Endeavour - British Royal Navy (Research Vessel) 1769-1771.

Kosmiche Deathworkship (First five cassettes actually contained teeth) - Teeth Engraved with the Names of the Dead.
Very nice body of work, digging your sound. Ward.
Droning with the OP-1.
This one went through a reverb pedal for extra woomph;

Hey - i heard its grim Up North but… 
Actually that second vid is really cool. I’d say relaxing but thats not right. Its sort of melancholic and reflective but weirdly soothing despite the sometimes decaying visuals. The soundtrack is great.
