Spent the last few months building my own music library tracing the idea of drone through music history after reading Monolithic Undertow by Harry Sword.
Not just ambient/drone music — but repetition, sustained tones and hypnotic sounds across blues, folk, industrial, post-punk, shoegaze, doom, techno,, to free jazz to ambient techno, minimalism to uileann pipes, sitar etc. From Bo Diddley, Velvet Underground and Faust through to Lankum, Sunn O))) and Orbital.
One thing the book made me realise:
Drone isn’t really a genre — it’s almost a human constant. Heartbeats, machinery, church bells, pipes, feedback, engines, chants and a cat's pur, my favourite kind of drone.
This Drone library is not an info dump nor was it created with A.I. Along with my own favourite tunes and my friends', I asked for recommendations from die-hard fans on various Reddit forums, which was invaluably helpful.
Older brothers and sisters and their friends' music? That kid at school? That enthusiastic person in the record shop whose brains you picked? Overhear a tune somewhere? a song in a film moves you ,r a song at a rave or disco? A song that reminds you of sth or sby?
All these situations got me into music or developed my taste and as a result, got me into other types of music I would never have heard otherwise.
Hopefully this public resource will be a gateway into other genres for you. Or maybe not. Horses for courses....
If you like the tunes you hear, go to your record shop and buy them or order them on CD or record or download on Bandcamp. Go and support live bands and buy their merchandise. Streaming is ripping off artists and killng music They need your support. Get off your phone.
Would genuinely love recommendations for artists/tracks I’ve missed some tunes or non-obvious ones from any genre or culture.
Please note:
-- This is an unofficial UNCURATIED PUBLIC LIBRARY RESOURCE and not a curated playlist.
-- For maxium pleasure play on SHUFFLE.
-- Use it to create your own curated playlists
-- The library is updated regularly.
-- Please share. It's anonymous so there's no element of self-promotion or profit involved. If you do happen to know me, please don't dox me. I'd prefer to remain anonymous.
Apart from the creators, music belongs to everyone so please don't gatekeep.
