About This Blog

This blog covers one nerd's obsession with drone musics from 2013-2017.

While I’m sure many Bandcamp links are now dead and many Youtube videos long-since deleted I hope that this little archive might be of some use to those of you who are fond of the Long Note.

If you followed me when this blog was active and are checking back, hello! The small community we formed meant a lot to me, particularly in those formative years when I struggled to find fellow musicians or music lovers who regarded the music I enjoyed as anything better than an awful din. Do get in touch via the Ask.

As I hope anyone visiting can find: one note is all that is needed.

"Pedal points and drones are present in almost all musical genres and styles. Although they appear in a whole variety of ways, and can have very diverse effects, music analysis rarely pays attention to these differences. The reason is, perhaps, that there are no defined concepts that would provide vocabulary to both describe and understand the power of sustained notes"

Oaken Palace Records

Oaken Palace Records is a drone record label which is run as a registered UK charity. Each release is dedicated to a particular endangered species, and once costs are covered for each sustainably-produced, recycled-packagingly-packaged recording, all profits go to environmental organisations protecting that species/its habitat.

Latest release is a great split tape by Hellvete and Bear Bones, Lay Low. More than half are gone, so anyone who buys one is giving their money straight to help the Radiated Tortoise. They can live to 188 years old so they probably love drone music.

And a major MAJOR new release to be announced imminently!

Their work combines throat singing and other experimental vocal techniques, doom metal’s subterranean roar, and industrial clang and drone.
