about

Note: To reduce environmental impact, you are encouraged to download rather than stream this and any other album of ours. Thanks.

About this album: MEGA:DRONE was to be Ian C Stewart's 100-hour long drone project. In going through the Drone Forest archives, I only have found about one-third of the finished work, presented here as twenty-eight hours of drone. This album's large scope is countered by its extreme minimalism. Much of the music is long, grey, lo-fidelity, featureless fields of bitcrushed texture, occasionally punctuated by surprise elements popping into the mix. There are long sections that are pitched so low that they are barely audible at all, except as asymmetrical pulsing heard when amplified to high volume. Isolationism is what they used to call this style, I think. Not precisely easy listening.

about

Drone Forest

Drone Forest were:
Michael J. Bowman
C. Reider
Dave Stafford
Ian C. Stewart

The Drone Forest collective worked by using sound sources pooled on a shared internet server (because they all lived very far apart). Each member composed work individually using that sound source library as base material.

Drone Forest ceased operations in 2008.
