about

Workingman's Drone returns with Year Four, twelve more monthly installments of carefully crafted drone music to be issued from January to December of 2021.

For the eighth volume, catalog entry WD44, the focus returns to self-oscillation, with August's voice being no-input feedback from a Strymon Magneto tape delay/spring reverb module, routed through the veins of the rest of the R-EW Audioholistics modular system. To begin, the feedback signal from Magneto was tempered and shaped by a 2HP low pass filter (with a very slow LFO sweeping the filter open and closed again) as well as ring modulation via a Behringer 150 utility module. The subsequent output was then multed to a Doepfer VC mixer, for the dry output, and also sent into Mutable Inst. Rings (for tuned overtone generation) and Mutable Inst. Clouds (for granular processing/pitch alteration/reverb/filter passing). The sum total of these signals were mixed on a Mackie ProFX8 mixing board, with minor augmentation via the Mackie's internal DSP reverb, and then routed again through a Peavey FX2 mixing desk, with yet another DSP verb applied to a wide stereo signal. Final mastering was completed on the computer, with appropriate use of parametric equalization and light compression.

A few more detailed thoughts about Workingman's Drone as a series, and where it sits in the landscape of ambient and drone music in particular: 17463.space/wdy4.txt
