A Particularly Bad Rendition of 4'33"

I welcome all critical feedback. Can relicense if you're interested, just ask.

Welcome to Week 11. I had different musical plans for this submission, but the Disquiet Junto inspired me with this week's prompt about music for bell and drone, so here we are. A drone.

› Technical musings

111 BPM 4/4, C-major. No AI used in any part of the process. For this year every cover art is a photo I took.

Such a great soundscape! So much ear candy. I agree that the drone has got some nice weight to it. Very nice.

I like how you pushed the AR outside of its comfort zone. Honestly, it mighty be the best I've ever heard the AR sound. I have one, and it's powerful and great performance machine...And yet, I don't love the sound of it. So hearing it used so differently is fun and inspiring. Thank you.

what an amazing entry

when I close my eyes I can see going through the land created by all those sounds. I'd say this counts as dark ambient (which I love and made most music in that style) and I love it.

Great, great stuff even thou I'm biased towards this style.

Super ambience, very clean great job! heart

Love the space and reverb in this for the bell and drone.   Feels like I just discovered an ancient temple.  Really cool how the dark synth pad flares out.  Excellent work!

great sound design and atmosphere - clean and dirty at the same time. i sat transfixed for the entire track. love it.

noticed in the description that all your cover art are photos you've taken. that's what im doing this year as well except my photos are a lot less evocative ><

the vibe and the sound pressure is amazing!!! nicely done

Very spooky. There's something intrinsically disquieting when very "natural" sounds like the bells and chanting are combined with a sound that is distinctly artificial and synthetic, ie; the drone, and it works beautifully here. Also that the drone seems to exist within an almost extradimensional space behind all the other elements... cosmic and disturbing. Excellent piece.

This is enthralling. The ambiance is amazing, and I'm a sucker for bells. I was immediately transported to a place of stone halls and torchlight, where the flickering light could go out at any moment, releasing hungry shadows upon the world.

was there chanting? i sweat i heard some chanting. i am uneasy, but also calmed.
deep beautiful soundscape
