Thanks!  Will investigate...

This track is particularly wicked, and I don't know how to embed individual tracks, but it's a 3CD of women artists doing drone...

JLIAT is the project of one James Whitehead, who has been active since he first attended an electronic music workshop at Falmouth School of Art in the 1970s.

Throughout the 80s and 90s, Whitehead created mainly drone pieces, some of which are considered "master works" of the genre.
While he later spent plenty of time making noise music-- sometimes with a somewhat antagonistic approach to conceptual art, and he has even lectured on noise music in an academic setting, Whitehead did return to making longform drone for a spell in the 2010s.

Now featured on NO PART OF IT as a digital release ("name your price"), is an unreleased piece from 2016 titled "January Evening".

I listened to this one and some of his others during the period where I was microdosing mushrooms every day!

FYI

Anyone know of any long form tracks that are more 'happy' drone rather than soundtracks to dark and scary worlds ? Love that kinda thing at time but also like the occasional relaxing break to push in contented feelings into my ears and brain, like a nice quiet walk down the road on a warm autumn afternoon and the sun throws a golden heat and light at everything.

Have an example here (the first 43minutes), not actually sure who the artist is (unless maybe there's an artist called 'Ambient Music') as I don't think it's anything Hildur Guðnadóttir did for the soundtrack:

It's obviously a thin tightrope between 'happy' drone and New-Age (which is a little too cring inducing for me), so I'm looking for something that still has that sort of introspective/melancholy vibe like the above piece.

I always got a chill and cheerful vibe from Basinski's 5th Disintegration Loop. Seems like there is a melancholy undercurrent too, but less pronounced methinks than his more devastating works (like the album Melancholia for instance). Such a nice piece:
