Yeah, when I decided to get around communities, dedicated to drone music, I was disappointed to see that 90% of what<br>the communitites I went to understood by droning was that brutal guitar noise. It's when you want to get away from all that<br>
beer and rock music and suddenly find that by "drone" they mean... beer and rock music!<br>I do enjoy some of the guitar droning though, it is a rather "tasty" sound sometimes.<br><br>However, Steve Roach is as known as "drone". I just do "ambient drone".<br>
<br>As for the "droning" project itself, its one project I am not willing to "market", if you know what I mean. I think to some people<br>its value will be evident, but to many - not, no matter how I call it.<br>
<br>I've written a little bit about the idea of the project here:<br><a href="http://www.louigiverona.ru/?page=projects&s=writings&t=mtheory&a=mtheory_droning">http://www.louigiverona.ru/?page=projects&s=writings&t=mtheory&a=mtheory_droning</a><br>

Negative way? How come? I love drone music. And there are many people who do.<br>Including absolutely minimalistic stuff.<div><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div>I do love both genres, but droning might be more connected to more brutal sounds like sunnO))) and the like, while the two songs of yours I heard so far could maybe benefit from being termed ambient. I'm guessing that's what he's getting at. Two sides of the same coin though, I don't see anything wrong with calling it droning, when that's exactly what it is :)<br>
