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 third volume, catalog entry WD39, I have used Cre8audio's "Chipz" module, within my Eurorack system, which consists of two variable waveform oscillators, a filter and two LFOs. In addition to the usual method of tuning both oscillators to form a chord, I have also brought both LFOs into the audible range and tuned them accordingly, allowing the module four voices of polyphony. Additional modulation of the waveforms themselves, as well as the filter, was introduced via other modules within my R-EW Audioholistics modular system, albeit on an extremely subtle level, with immensely slow envelopes and barely any voltage getting through the attenuators at all. The resultant audio is a warm and shimmering wall of oscillation that rings true with the ethos of this series, and also introduces the first recording of Year Four that exceeds the runtime limit of CD-Rs, necessitating a modest edit of the piece to be used for the physical editions. As always, the full unedited session appears here digitally for the ideal deep listening experience.

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
