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 fifth volume, catalog entry WD41, I have used a 2HP low-pass filter as the primary sound source. The LPF is made to self-oscillate, which produces a pure sinewave, and this signal is then sent into an SSDP Jade Series phaser, with the phase-shifted output and all-pass filtered output split and sent into a Behringer mult. The all-passed signal is then routed into one of two ring modulation inputs on the Behringer 150 module, using the 150's onboard sawtooth LFO to adjust the pitch of the ringmod, while the phase-shifted signal is sent into two Mutable Instruments modules - Rings (in this patch acting as an overtone generator) and Clouds (acting as a granular pitch shifter). Additionally, the all-passed signal is sent into a Dreadbox Utopia module, utilizing the "Pulserizer" input, which bitcrushes the sound and in turn generates a more angular waveform. All signals were then summed via two submixers (SSDP Jade Series switch mixer and a Doepfer VC mixer) before going into their final stereo positions via a Behringer 305. The 305's output was sent into a Mackie ProFX8 mixer with some additional parametric EQ work applied, before then going into two channels of a Peavey FX2 mixing desk, the output of which was captured digitally and mastered in a DAW, where final equalization, some subtle delays and compression were used to create the mix presented here.

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
