Hey fellas!
My work on
droning<http://www.louigiverona.ru/?page=projects&s=music&t=droning>project
continues.
There are currently 72 recordings available, but I would like to emphasize
two at the moment.
droning066 was by utilizing the good old shifting technique. The piano is a
recording of me playing several chords and melodic phrases on an actual
piano
during my stay at Edinburgh.

This piece is where I used my soon to be released Pure Data patch called
Midi Loops. This is a way to generate music without it sounding obviously
random.
Din was also used here.

Haha!
Thanks for kind words, Paul.
I would say that "droning" is different, I explore various stuff, from
minimalistic drones to rich soundscapes.
So there is high probability you won't enjoy every track of the project,
but you surely will find several to your liking.

The nature of the music often leaning itself to very long soundscapes I
haven't
had the time to even listen all the way through these two songs
before commenting, but I have to say this is very nice stuff! I have
bookmarked your project page and look forward to diving into all 72
recordings, and maybe your other projects as well.

Mne ochen' nravitsya!
Seriously, going by the title, I came to this expecting something far
more understated and less polished. In particular, I am very impressed
with 072, specially in the way you play with dynamics. This is abstract
music which is still easy-listening and relaxing without being boring:
quite a feat. I find the sound fairly polished as well. Are these
improvs, or do you write/think them out beforehand?
Looking forward to hearing more.
Cheers,
S.M.

Hey S.M.!
"Are these improvs, or do you write/think them out beforehand?"
A little bit of both. Usually thinking the process out. In droning072 I have
prepared a special master sample that was used to play the whole thing. It
is a small piece that has two same notes in it, played with a pause
in-between. Then I used my MidiLoops tool to trigger that sample in C minor.
The double note adds to the complexity of the texture.
As for the polished sound, I do warn you that there are some things which
sound
less "polished", like droning001 :) But this is how it is intended. I
explore different
forms here, including ultra minimalistic stuff.
If you are more into richer soundscapes, I would advice several, like
droning035,
droning039, droning050, droning054 (which uses a pentatonic sound generator
I wrote
in Pd but still did not release), droning055.
But there are many "monotone" drones which are still very rich, in my view.
droning010
is one of my favourites.
Anyway, thanks for the interest!

Enjoy!
Very enjoyable as chill out background. Of the two, I thought 71 was more
interesting, but 66 had a more hypnotic relaxing mantra effect.
You do yourself no favours calling them 'Dronings'. That term tends be
thought of in a very negative way.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Negative way? How come? I love drone music. And there are many people who
do.
Including absolutely minimalistic stuff.

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 :)

Yeah, when I decided to get around communities, dedicated to drone music, I
was disappointed to see that 90% of what
the communitites I went to understood by droning was that brutal guitar
noise. It's when you want to get away from all that
beer and rock music and suddenly find that by "drone" they mean... beer and
rock music!
I do enjoy some of the guitar droning though, it is a rather "tasty" sound
sometimes.
However, Steve Roach is as known as "drone". I just do "ambient
drone".
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
its value will be evident, but to many - not, no matter how I call it.
I've written a little bit about the idea of the project here:
