Listened to your track last night and was blown away! Awesome work - you should definitely continue in that direction

OK, we’re close enough. The first 8 hours of droning, to take us through into the early hours of Drone Day 2026. I’ll stick Part 2 up tomorrow.

Listening through to it today, I’m actually blown away by what everyone has achieved collectively. A really compelling collection.

54 drones — runtime 8:12:40 - track listing below. No science to the order they are presented. Completely random. Congrats @Alienna for the random seed that drove this excessive exercise in drone concatenation choosing you to kick it all off.

Thanks to everyone who contributed. Happy Drone Day. 8hrs more coming tomorrow am.

Edit: damn, the wobbly organic background visual thingy on the video I thought I’d got nailed last night stalls after a couple of minutes on the version I uploaded this afternoon. Seems to have broken when I split the video in two. Nevermind. No time to fix. The music will have to make up for it. Gah.

Oops - failed to read the rules, and this is too late. Was fun to make anyway, a single track on the DNII with modulation via Overbridge inside Ableton.

YouTube / nullband DR((((((O))))))NE window will open AT 10.00 am UTC

Signal with the most listeners will be automatically playing. Listener count pings every 60 secs and there must be a gap of +2 listeners to change.

Thanks again also for the second batch! And what a nice coincidence my track ended up on position 77 as this is my birth year and favorite number :partying_face:

thanks @MattLxx for realising this, may there be many annual nautdronefests to come.

loving the epic youtube uploads and nullband session happening currently.
quite bemused that part 1 opens with a beaut from @Alienna then contributions from myself and @Fin25 that test the human bodily functions. it’s been a real treat to leave running and let everything wash over my ears, face and chest.
Edit: read this back and it reads wrong. Not changing it tho.

i’ve created a curated selection of my drones (with a few extras) as a full frequency lossless release on Subvert : https://www.subvert.fm/shunk/absol̶̹̖̾͛͘ů̵̢͖̪̳͓͘ț̷̛͚̤̯̬̐̐ë̸̺̠͎́̒̎-states

but far from wanting to come across as self promo i did promise at the start to share a browser based additive drone system i’ve been using for some of my uploads.
Press 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or indeed 9 for some randomised drone recipes and hit the drone button. No other instructions are available at this time, waftlord is not responsible for any emotional or financial loss/gain.

Am loving going back through all of these. In the busy mess that was this mission, I’d missed the complete magnificence of @ak1 's hour long drone - track 65 on Pt 2 of the YouTube compilation. If you listen to one zoned out, throbbing, astrally projecting, slow moving, epic drone today. Make it that one. Love it.

your words mean so much to me, I am struggling to come up with some of my own. thank you for your generosity with your time in making this whole thing happen and helping make my day 100x better.

ive been struggling a lot with finishing music, and submitting to this challenge has been my rare chance at safisfaction. i really love making drone, and i honestly didn’t know it was a thing other people enjoyed until this, so I am also grateful for this day’s inspiration to continue to explore these parts of sound.
