Scorched Earth Drone

By george bowles on May 12, 2024 5:29 pm

malfunctioning earth sentinel drone mark EE38 monitors the surface of a scorched earth damaged by environmental catastrophe and escalating wars. his survey transmission received damaged, it still reveals the dire consequences of capitalism and unregulated corporate cabal activities. many of use are already gone to the wasteland...

anyways, after some amateurish sci-fi flavor text, this is a test of a VERY portable, minimalist setup you could throw into a backpack and play some underground experimental music show in a different city by taking an amtrak. because that's exactly what i'm doing next weekend! this is show prep, but also a solo version of what i'll be doing.

next week i'll be part of a quartet of noise makers, two on different types of drone based synthesizers, one a vocalist, and me the multi-instrumentalist. for the show i'll be borrowing an amp, a guitar, a bass, and a synth, plus this contact mic run through six pedals (so i'll be switching from various input sources into this pedal chain). thanks for the listen! almost to week 20!

This is great, I can imagine how impactful it will sound live.  And the scifi concept to go with it is a great companion piece.  Good luck with the upcoming show.

Can't wait to hear how the show goes! this thing is SCORCHED🔥

can't imagine what the setup looks like from the sound, but it does sound awesome!

This sounds so cool. Did not expect the radio received vocals and the brutal stuttering at the end. Edgy noise at its best.
