  • Well it will be announced properly on the 1st April, but the next challenge (chosen by the mod team) is to compose a piece of "Drone" music (which could take various forms depending on your musical tastes).

    Also we will be testing the challenge as a 2 month thing instead of 3, so it will start 1st April, the deadline will be the 15th May and then the winner will be announced at the end of May.

    Full details to come on the 1st of April though.

    Here's my soundcloud with a few drone pieces for a clinic in belgium that i did


    How about "prepared guitar" though? It's a little more guitar orientated and challenging. Happy to help write some advice/ rules for it?

    I think the idea from the mods is that everyone could have a go on this one relatively easily, we are looking to get more people involved.

    Drone music has its roots in ancient ethnic music but in the west it was in the minimalist movement of the 60's that it really got more notice. Obviously later through Krautrock and Shoegaze it got another lease of life and then more recently bands like Sunn O)))  etc etc have made it popular again. basically there is an opportunity for everyone to explore drone in whatever way they want, it supposed to be as open a challenge as possible.

  • I agree, it's a really neat challenge.  Drone music can sound great if it's super simple or very complex, too, and covers a massive range of genres.  Winner!

    It's way harder than Malian stuff.

    (not really).

    Really liked your entry for the Malian challenge - congrats again!
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.
