The drone thread, share and discuss

I recorded this massive drone the other day. Looks like I’m building a live project from this start.

0-coast & H9.

Very interested in 0-coast, this further demonstrated its massive.

Recently got it. Loving it so far.

If you re listening on a massive subwoofer you might hear the root tone at 19hz…

I tested it on headphones and would love to hear more examples. :wink:

Shit. Totally forgot this was today :frowning: I had the Digitone setup to participate but thought it was next weekend.

It took all evening to upload this on my 4g phone , and half an afternoon updating my softpop.

Well atleast I got it in before 12 here uk

Did this Drone experiment a year ago: Perkons and Modular - plus Space Echo and BigSky - hitting video synthesis.

For me reverb is really important :nerd_face:

I did an International Drone Day 2024 live stream yesterday featuring the Lyra-8 and Octatrack, musique concrete style.

some sample from old vital recordings I think through Granulator 2 and couple of supermassive instances, heavily compressed and on the lower part of the spectrum, I guess these types of things are my favorite to do when I’m just zoning with Live or synth…

the 128 kbps killing the vibe though, I guess only bandcamp allows higher res playback?

Here’s an FM drone I made last month, running my Preen through the FX on my AK.

@alechko I’ve mostly stopped using Soundcloud for that reason, the basic streaming player on Bandcamp just sounds better. I have a more formal and curated Bandcamp alias where I upload my polished and completed ‘final product’ type things, and my experimental and esoteric alias where I can share things like in my first post. You can link different accounts together easily and monitor them all from one place, as well as your account as a listener. I recommend it.

I’ve now been through and listened to all the uploads except the live stream which I will put on this afternoon. Great stuff all around. I think we should turn this into a non-specific drone sharing thread. Thoughts? Who needs a specific day to drone?

yeah why not? I like these things from time to time so I’ll start recording more often

I was playing this over Genelec 8040 monitors with a 7070a sub. Tuned the 0-coast as low as it will go and that 19hz happened to coincide with a massive acoustic room mode that made the whole volume of space pulse and shake. My god 🫠

I soon realized that both that ultra low frequency playback and that room mode are things I won’t likely get in live venues so now I’ve started tuning it to C1 instead.

I also did a Lyra-8 performance on Drone Day '24.

Audio chain was: Lyra-8 -> Octatrack (highpass filter LFO + panning LFO) -> Eventide Blackhole -> SP404 (compression and audio interface). It starts off “melodic” and descends into typical Lyra-8 madness (which I love). The Lyra-8 tuning, which was stolen from somebody else, was A A E A C# E B C#. Not that it matters much once the feedback gets going :slight_smile:
