Drone







This band is actually a speed metal band that uses Celtic influences, but this song is from their acoustic album. When we talk about drone in class this type of music is what tends to come into my head. the drone is extremely present in this, we hear a flute come in with a melody over top, and the a violin joins, and the music builds. I just think this is incredibly beautiful, and wanted to share.

  2. This is really tight. I love Celtic heritage, and it was a pretty good influence on my life growing up. Even though this song isn't typical of my musical tastes, I think it's really cool and really appropriate for what we've been talking about.

    The drone at the beginning with the flute improvising on top was hauntingly beautiful, and the high voice ostinato later when the vocals came in was really neat. Thanks for sharing, Ben!
