Watmm's Drone Club

I've wanted to do this thread for a while. Drone music has many faces, but often hard to find. 

I've never read anything in this forum about it, except for an old thread where the discussion was more focused into explaining the difference between ambient and drone instead of sharing rare and astonishing drone pieces. 

Would be great if this thread turns into a nice thing worthy of his pretentious title!

I'll start showing what I mean with awesome drone music (in different styles)

Classic:

Less classic: 

Avant-garde: 

Anyone into this kind of stuff? 

Does this count?

I have an unfinished drone album called TADPOLE DRONES which I may finish soon.

4 tracks total, will be about 35-40 minutes long.

Its one of the many unfinished things I am sitting on.

RAXIL4 makes some excellent drones (among other things) and can often be found performing in London at galleries / museums / events / etc

Abul Mogard is an obvious choice, but one of my favourite things he's done is hidden away on his soundcloud page from 2012:

Weirdly he lives round the corner from me and I occasionally spot him out and about.  So far resisted the temptation to shout 'great drones mate'.

The undisputed Queen of Drone

 

24 hours w/Andrew Liles drones

Add the many Colin Potter collaborations over the years, not at home but will have crate dig later

Dublin’s No Place Like Drone collective, 6-8 turntables + a mod-synth rack + guest mixes galore, slainte

https://www.mixcloud.com/noplacelikedrone/stream/

Coil’s Time Machines, sure to cure you of time

Coil have loads, Queens of the Circulating Library in a couple of guises (“Circulating”?)

NWW’s classic, Soliloquy For Lilith 

and a drone heavy Coil-centric mix with an hour plus of drones b4 beats

so much good music in this sound realm, good recommendations from previous posters

Orphax from the Netherlands is consistent as fk, at the intersection of a few different styles/genres. Proper quality control with themes based around local landscapes, soundscapes & everything in between.

Good ol' Wound's droney classic has always been my staple

It's especially mesmerizing when you find out where the sounds came from

colundi drone 

well worth digging around Gwen's gear, prolific doesn't really do justice to her sounds
