Christopher Olson for Liminal Minimals <\/a>– April 2013<\/p>\n

Drone is a utilitarian thing: when it works, it works. Being critical of it beyond pointing out the obvious in terms of form can be a challenge. In terms of articulating your position- it\u2019s like arguing about different hues of grey (let\u2019s hash out 919191 vs 999999, you hex\/RGB nerds). Also, I don\u2019t spend that much time thinking about it because it\u2019s one form where it\u2019s better to listen. Despite all misgivings about genre overcrowding, how there\u2019s been too much drone released into in the world: maybe it\u2019s simply like gas. Maybe pollen. Maybe there\u2019s always just the right amount. I\u2019ll let others discuss it on #dronelife. Anyways, as the onesheet goes: \u201c\u6e67\u58f0 is a sound creation made of layering over 5000 peculiar voices by tmymtur which includes ultrasonic waves\u2026developing sounds from frequencies, marking over 20kHz \u2013 that human ears are incapable of catching. These ultrasonic waves are often included in sounds of nature such as the flow of the river, and sound of the wind blowing through the trees. It is said that these elements have the effect to make the human brain relaxed.<\/em>\u201d Despite the conceptual anchor of rendering the barely audible audible, it\u2019s hard to figure out the difference between source and process. Little in the way of visuals demonstrate or allows for me to understand the science, and perhaps it was the raft of celebrity remixers who helped tease out the sounds, with interpretations by Christopher Willits, i8u, Sogar, Stephan Mathieu and Taylor Deupree. Each track is variation on a theme, exercises in shape and\/or texture: one a tone louder, another quieter, the others more textured, sanded down, high sheen, chrome blue, cavernous, skinny, bright. Imagine this release as a tour through a gradient and proper attention will yield rewards. [CO]<\/p>\n
