Thanks @oscillotus. The first one was mostly made in Koala with a bit of FabFilter Twin3.
The second was made entirely in Koala.
The good news is the tracks are all solid except the one by that Sirmcp. The bad news is I need more!!!

My entry for this year's Drone Day coming in two days! Had to do it now, because I won't have time Saturday. I also need to catch up on everyone's entries here.
And yes, I'm crazy enough to use an Android tablet for the entire process, lol. 😂
It's here!!! (Well, almost here by me.) The best musical holiday of the year, Drone Day, is upon us! 😃
(I made my drone already, so tomorrow is when I listen to all of yours.)
I’ve done three pieces, one of which was kind of accidental :-)
First up:
Screen recording of a MiRack generative patch.
Base drone is four sine wave oscillators slowly being FM’d by LFOs running at slow clock divisions, mixed into a stereo spread and put through a stereo wavefolder modulated by another slow LFO. Over this Marbles is playing two Rings, one through the Plateau reverb, one through Clouds. One Rings is excited by the drone output, the other is excited by the output from Clouds.
Next:
I foolishly didn’t make patch notes at the time I made this (it wasn’t intended as a Drone Day piece, but came out this way…), but it’s the 0-Coast through Strega and a reverb, and the 0-Coast is being played by Waymaker. I’m not sure if the 0-Ctrl is doing anything on this one.
And finally:
Subharmonicon through Rymdigare
Mavis through Wingie2 and Stellarvox
0-Coast through Strega, Wingie 2 and Stellarvox
Rozeta Particles plays 0-Coast
I’ll be listening to everyone’s pieces over the next couple of days.
Happy Drone Day, people!
Here's mine. An all koala sampler number as usual.
It's long but hopefully not boring.
I will listen to the other entries as soon as possible.
Thanks for the thread Jim and all the contributions, I just need to listen to them now 🤔
Should have posted mine here but it’s here instead https://forum.loopypro.com/discussion/65050/drone-day-2025
My entry for today,a piece on the shorter side.
Sounds Designed:Drambo + Koala
[Light] Mix:GarageBand

I posted my drambo jam here. Some very cool stuff in this thread, I love the idea.
This is brilliant. I’m late to the game for a drone track today, but I will get something down soon. Love listening to this and others.
Bro limewire!?!! Blast from the past. Incredible.
Very generous of you to share that Patch.
Great stuff, everyone.
Here;s something I came up with in Drambo with some Speldosa, Hilda and Alteza, recorded into Loopy, visuals from vs.
Well, I’ve just had a rather pleasant session checking all these pieces out. Lots of variety, quality is right up there.
@rottencat
Two wonderful pieces. I particularly like the first one: bliss!
@SirMcp
Love the density of this.
@Pxlhg
Love the organic nature of the sounds. Makes me think of something dark lurking and threatening to break through, possibly while we’re all distracted by the stunning visuals…
@jwmmakerofmusic
Oddly, I don’t find this cold, in fact probably more on the warm side, particularly after the bass drone morphs into the kick/bass. Extra points for doing it on Android!
@sevenape
Unsettling and disturbing, particularly the video (very appropriate for the times): I like it!
@GeoTony
Beautiful and relaxing, with a hint of sadness. Lovely.
@marLan
Really interesting sounds in this. I’d have liked it to go on for longer.
@timfromtheborder
Really like the way little motifs try to break through the bass drone, occasionally succeeding (eg the flute at about 3.30). And the way the tension seems to ramp up towards the end.
@tyslothrop1
I’m really enjoying this - there are definite hints/echoes of the krautrock/Berlin School crossover period (oops, showing my age). This is a good thing, IMHO.
@bygjohn Cheers mate.
I actually did my Drone Day 2024 piece on Android as well in FLSM, lol, although I made it a combination of a Drone and TripHop. This time I went 100% synthesised.
@bygjohn Thank you very much! I do like some Krautrock, but am not really a connoisseur of Berlin School (I do like the little I know of Tangerine Dream). Can you recommend something from that crossover period? Would love to give it a listen.
TD are a good example as they bridged that period. The thing in your piece that particularly made me think of that is the mix of atmospheric electronics and acoustic (or acoustic sounding) drums/percussion. Anyway, if you dip into Electronic Meditation, Alpha Centauri, and Atem, hopefully you’ll see what I mean. Zeit doesn’t really fit into that progression as a demo, but if you like dark ambient, it’s arguably the first example.
Further on, the albums Klaus Schulze did with Harald Grosskopf on drums (Moondawn, Body Love 1 & 2 and bits of X) kind of show where that electronics/acoustic drum mix ended up. Fun fact: Klaus Schulze played drums on Electronic Meditation. If you remove the acoustic drum part of what got me here, there’s a similar progression to TD’s in the first few KS albums, (Irrlicht to Moondawn).
FWIW I have a mixed response to Berlin School. Basically I love the early stuff, but TD went downhill (for me) after Peter Baumann left. One of my friends said “after that it’s all just shiny tunes”, which pretty much sums it up. KS was more consistent for me, still making stuff I enjoyed up to his passing. He seemed to make a better job of navigating through the move to digital instruments in the 80s. All highly subjective and IMHO, obviously.
@bygjohn Thank you,I realized I had way more to add to it days later.
Thanks, the album titles you mention don't ring a bell, I suspect the stuff I know came later, I don't remember acoustic drums either. This will be a lot of fun to check them all out, thanks for the map to this rabbit hole
.
I did a drone event in the studio. Beautiful meeting, musicians of all kinds and different backgrounds , ost of them new to the drone concept, but the afternoon shifted nicely from more experimental music to pure drone.
I have some videos in my instagram:
