#drone study

Nielu is proceeding like swallowing pins. Tearing, shredding, inch by inch, scale by scale transforming fear into focus, anxiety into acceptance. As any feat of metamorphosis, it is both frustrating and rewarding. I've been engulfed in the process of examining the possibilities of sound as a tool for shifting awareness. I really want to compose every sound on this album dripping with intent, yet flowing with ease.

As an example of these experiments I'd like to share a study into the (he)art of Drone ambient. It's an extremely deceptive genre in seeming to be something anybody can put together quite easily, yet when actually attempting to pull it off...well, I certainly managed to pull off something - that is, extraordinary amounts of hair. I feel immense respect for the masters of this genre. Anyway, here's my shot at some ritual drone work. This track also serves as a testing ground for some new plug-ins and automation routes.
