Drones by Spiritual Friendship

Drones appear throughout the early history of music, across many cultures. They reflect nature’s most elemental hum, the
chord that threads its way through creation, said to be the sound of the universe as it stretches out into the infinite unknown. Channelled in Indian spiritual music, through the battlefields of Scotland and on through the minimalism of pioneers like La Monte Young and Phil Niblock, the drone is a universal constant in music, one that instils a sense of vibrating in perfect synchronicity with the energy that surrounds us.

We chose to honour each of the chakras with a drone note. We didn't do any deep mystical research into the actual tuning we just used the conventional scale for the drones. It all interacts with itself, almost as if there’s this gentle swaying between each of the frequencies, and these unexpected rhythms and melodies begin to emerge.

"Everyone in the universe is confused why we are connected except for us."
