drone in a minor | a composition for four track, turntable, cassette player, synthesis, and tape

the laptop was used only as a recording device. audio is straight from the mixer's stereo outs. no computer modification except for a bit of compression.

Thank god i was on ebay between 1999-2005. Best time ever. Cheap as shit all those analog equipment, everyone wanted to get rid of it. Now when I sell it I can buy the State of Hawaii with it. Book m Danno

[@jpog]

would've killed to be around in those days. 18 so the analog revival train swept up the market long before me. happily, most high-consumer 80s and 90s digital gear is dirt cheap right now. thats where I think I'm going to be for the next few years :)

[@saint.everett]

it's hard for me to describe why i find this so much more interesting and valuable than other ambient videos on youtube, but all i can say is that you should keep doing what you're doing, i don't care if it's exactly like this or nothing like this, you have a strong creative and intuitive mind (i mean hell, you have to if you're going to make something like this). i love this, i hope you do too, don't let anyone tell you it isn't special

[@bucksmoonlightrevival]

I forgot about this video and then I got recommended it again.. We just finished a concept album recorded on the Tascam 488 Portastudio, it took about 2 years or so to complete. I remember at one point during the process, I was watching this video on repeat because it gave me lots of inspiration to keep working on our music. So thanks for that!! The album's alt-folk style music with some experimental sounds like tape loops, musical saw, synths, field recordings, etc. It's uploaded on our channel if anyone wants to check it out!

[@jpog]

Loving the album so far. Really enjoying the fluid journey through textural tracks into pockets of song and acoustic instruments. The voice and lyrics add a lot; her vibrato patterns are so yarney and warm. I am overjoyed that fellow artists enjoy what I have made! To be an inspiration is beyond my usual perception of self, so thank you for your kind comment. Keep making art!!!

[@bucksmoonlightrevival]

@@jpog Hey thanks a lot! 🙂 Glad you like it!

[@quirkyfunguy]

yo I'm seeing people that are saying "just learn a real instrument" bla bla bla but dude you're making real music here. Them's just close minded haters who are unaware that you can literally make music out of anything. Stomp percussion for example. Idk I'm ranting at this point but I'm an instrumentalist as well as someone who sees how sick ambient music is. Keep rockin (at a moderate volume)

[@YTTraveler777]

I personally love it. Just wish the kid didn't look like such beta male. Im sick of how the culture teaches young people that creative types have to be domesticated effeminate types. Not every creative person has to be a little wimpy teen man-boy.

[@Critical-Vibrations]

I know, right?? Every male human should be a testosterone-besotted knuckle-dragger, with a chin like the prow of the Titanic and a forehead like two bears sleeping at the foot of the Berlin Wall, and grabbing pussies left and right!! *chestbump* @@YTTraveler777

I just learned the A minor expended pattern, and the guy that taught it to me said to go find a minor drones on KZbin and I just found you, and totally just soloed with a bunch of delay over this and it was awesome! Wish I wound have recorded it so I could send it to you! Really love this!!!

[@jpog]

I would have never expected someone to play along with my videos. So cool how improvisation can spread. It would make me really happy to hear so feel free to record over my stuff!
