Drone Music

Drone music is a genre characterized by the use of continuous, sustained sounds or notes that create a hypnotic and immersive sonic experience. Often featuring minimalistic structures, it emphasizes the texture and atmosphere over traditional melodies or rhythms. Instruments like electric or acoustic guitars, synthesizers, or traditional drone instruments such as bagpipes and didgeridoos are used to produce long, steady tones. This style encourages deep listening, often evoking meditative or contemplative states. It’s found across various cultures and experimental music scenes, focusing on the subtle interplay of sound and silence to generate a sense of timelessness and space.
