I propose we share good minimalist and drone (or drone related) music in this thread. It seems fair to suggest that good headphones or speakers are recommended! Any weird, long-form music that revolves around repetition or slow evolution of a theme is also welcome.

btw...

fwiw, the best (by far) source for my "minimalist, drone & avant garde" needs in the last year has been vk.
sign up on vk and you will see what i am talking about.

btw btw...
since op posted a coil track... a vk community called katabasia, that deals with lots of topics of interest here, including certain aspects of organic chemistry Smile several days ago reminded me to re-listen to psychic tv's '93 kondole... you'll be very hard pressed to get any more "minimalist, drone & avant garde" than that Smile

Not a classic, but I like this drone piece. Great for tripping (esp. Ketamine & dmt) and sleeping. I love minimalism. Terry Riley is a big one. Lamonte Young too. I like the stuff you are talking about too, but bands like Coil and Psychic TV are so much more.

recently, I've been doing experiments using an HPLC absorbance detector to modulate the synth. analytical chemistry ambient music.

Benzyme is modulating and bending the hell out me, while I am melting down an infinite river.

This is just great, thanks!

Thank you all for contributing! I've been listening but slow to reply (final semester grad student. . . need I say more?).

Good stuff, Mister Niles, thanks! And I love Lamonte Young too. In fact, all the folks from that scene are awesome.

If you don't know him, I should plug Pandit Pran Nath, who taught Lamonte, Terry, and all the rest of that group! I find his voice to be deeply entrancing and profound.

Ah, Zoviet France is great stuff! Thank you for reminding me about them.

Benzyme, this is spectacular. I thoroughly enjoy what you've got going on in these two tracks.

Ah, eurorack! That's a hobby that, at least for now, is best for me not to begin. I am bad enough buying stand-alone analogue synth gear.

As to the, HPLC absordance detector as a source of modulation. . . I love it. Laughing


If you all are not familiar with the work of Eyvind Kang, I highly recommend him. Especially his album Virginal Co Ordinates, of which the following track is one of the highlights.
