Drone Alone by conelrad

Drone Alone is a compilation of 12 drone soundscapes, each one album-length, with a focus on atmosphere, texture, and space. When producing these, I had in mind musicians like Stars of the Lid, Tim Hecker, Haxan Cloak, The Caretaker, William Basinski, Brian Eno, and many others. Importantly, though, I was not trying to hew too closely to any particular one of their sounds: there is a very wide range of different things to be discovered in this collection, and each track has a different approach, with a different seed of an idea at its core.

If you like to fall into a soundscape, or generally like your songs deep, textural, and unencumbered by earworm melodies or beats, Drone Alone may be for you.

These tracks were originally released exclusively to conelrad Patreon members, one per month over a year, and they are now being collected as a single compilation for the first time. Each one has been polished, preened, and remastered, and they are presented in high quality flac, along with front and back cover digital artwork.

Any conelrad Patreon members who are reading this (assuming they joined before I released this), please contact me for a download code to download this for free. Everyone else: I hope you can find a few bucks to download this album; I think it will give you a great deal of absorbing, contemplative pleasure.

And, incidentally, if you want to receive periodic updates and previews of the third album I am working on right now (the long overdue followup to Sure is the Risk Made), do join the conelrad Patreon for 3 dollars US per month: you can do that at https://patreon.com/conelrad.
