An overview to the concept of ‘drone’ in music, illustrated with historic examples and contemporary artists.

Small research project on the topic of ‘drone’ done in collaboration with my colleague Miguel Negrão, following an invitation by Raviv Ganchrow to deliver a lecture about this topic in one of the weekly sessions of his ‘Sound and Space’ seminar, held at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague (The Netherlands).

The talk was given by Miguel on 9th May 2008. Below is the slideshow used in this presentation and here we put together some further information. In addition, two of the volumes (025 and 027) of my ongoing ‘From 20 to 20000 hz’ remix project are specially devoted to drone and can work as a complement to this.
