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 fourth volume, catalog entry WD40, I have used Moog's MF-105M MIDI MuRF - a unique standalone unit that includes eight analog filters that can be animated via an LFO and a set of fader-style controls assigned to each filter operating within a different frequency band. I used a convoluted process of routing the MF-105M into itself to create a feedback loop, which I could then control more definitively via the MIDI output of an Arturia Keystep Pro. The resultant audio is a very electrical sounding sustained drone, which has possibly the most "appliance" sounding personality (in overtones) that I've yet heard come out of one of my studio filters. Using the Keystep, it is possible to "play" the resonant filter bands similar to a synthesizer, though the MF-105M behaves much less musically than a traditional synth. In the end, I managed to layer together multiple such sessions via a Vesta Fire MR-10B multitrack tape machine to produce a much richer chordal profile, and using the Vesta Fire's DBX noise reduction (which acts essentially as a low-pass filter) and pitch deviation, different timbres and modulations were made possible.

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
