on the last saturday of may it is drone day again. as in previous years, i am going to make a compilation / collab project. i’m looking for sounds that can be included.
the theme is: the sound of light. think of how sound goes through different materials. how it refracts. how different colors sound synesthetically.
this time i’m using a drone on e (again), with the scale from raga harikauns: e g a# c d
shown here in rewin:
as is our yearly tradition, any sound or stem that would fit in is welcome, and i will mix it together into one hour-long ambient drone piece on drone day 2023, may 27th.
recordings are preferred to be in flac, but any reasonable format will be accepted. i use 48kHz, 24 bits in my project (but other rates will be accepted). note that anything with a beat will be heavily processed, as it is not meant to be very rhythmic. more ambient percussion such as in gobi by monolake is fine.
any length is fine, from one second ‘incidental’ sounds, to two-hour field recordings / drones / etc. i can always select passages, or weave things in and out.
vcv rack patches are also welcome. i have most free plugins, but only a few premium ones (notably vult modules, vult mysteries, and stellare creative suite).
but it doesn’t have to be vcv rack. i also love mixing in vst softsynths, acoustic instruments, field recordings, etc.
don’t send me finished tracks, as it is really a collab project in which i weave together elements from different sources into one piece of music . i will apply very liberal amounts of reverb, so dry stems are perfectly fine.
you can send me stems or patches by google drive, wetransfer, dropbox, etc. you can email me at yngwin@gmail.com with your link(s). and let me know which artist name you want to be credited with.
for some inspiration, listen to what we have done in previous years:
I know we are in good hands
