How to get out of a creative rut QUICKLY
AI has finally democratized the music industry, the people who made music cuz the had the equipment to do it,now that everyone has access to this through AI , now they are crying, music was once live, then it was recorded, to DAW to prompt, imagine those who played Music in real time, before all the tech, don't you think they also felt the same way?
I drone, so I live.
Fundamental creation process must come from deep in the heart, mind, and spiritual connection to energies in this and other dimensions.
Music is subjective.
well said and presented. it actually helped me start my day on a different foot and look in a different direction. very helpful and welcome. arigato
Good God I laughed a lot harder than I maybe should have at "Lyra 8" in the list of ancient instruments! 😂😂😂
Inspirational video. Thank you.
I'll name it Bear Wringer
💯👍
Loved this video.
Some very cool ideas here that can be applied beyond just the scope of drones. Loving this, liked and subscribed!
When I do music theory, I try to make it an activity that promotes creative exploration (as opposed to the "corpse forensics" method). I think you’ll dig what I do, and you can see some examples over on my channel.
Why does it sound like you're pronouncing *Drones* with an *L?* Are you trolling us *Drone lovers!* 😅
Nope just born in Mississippi
I would like that video but 5x longer :)
Slowed+Reverb version incoming
AI is 100% Artificial and 5% Intelligent, aka only as intelligent as the random set of data used to "train" it.
Just in time for drone day, I see. I just did an especial about drones and did a couple... one of them with a guitar, an ebow clone and a looper pedal.
Awesome episode !
Drones fekkin rock
Guess I'll have to wait for the droneumentary
Really enjoy watching your video's, always interesting and helps me think about my own process :) I would love to see a demo of how you use the Lyra 8

The light pedal is so dope. Sounds great with synths. Awesome vid as per usual
It's definitely a favorite. And thanks!
What do you think the main difference is between a pad and a drone?
I’m trying to practice my realisations and now don’t watch your videos unless I’m also practicing scales or something. So, naturally, as soon as you pointed out organ drones often are sitting on the dominant I just did that and then noodled something in dorian. Yay! 🥳 I often droned on the root or a third or a fourth, but never droned with a fifth until just there. So that was nice. Finished it off with an old descending 2-5-2-1; and actually felt Done with a practice for once instead of just running out of steam on transcribing some piece! 😊
I love the bass response in this video. Really grabbed me today. Good stuff!
Looking over your sample pack website and that 8 pack bundle for $55 looks interesting… but I’m curious how big each pack is and how many sounds each one comes with. The 2 most important factors of a sample pack imo, are size and number of sounds.
🍔
Looks delicious
Hey, this video popped up on my feed - I loved it, especially the way you explain drones and elated techniques. I like the way you speak - very down to earth, like Venus Theory and David Hilowitz. I just subscribed, signed up and looking forward to hearing some of your discography on bc.
Much appreciated, and welcome!
If drones bore you then padLIFE ain’t for you. 🤓

Great video and timely as I'm in the drone zone preparing for International Drone Day performance on Saturday!
Good stuff! Drones are absolutely fundamental to how humans interact with music - most, if not all, musical heritages have drones as prominent elements in their history. They add a frame for us to process the sounds we're hearing and put them in a specific context. Honestly, in many ways, keys are just implied drones. Everything is meant to relate back to that "invisible" drone root note. Simple or complex, they can be absolutely intriguing!
Sorry, I said you looked like your dog was dead on an earlier video. I meant to say you look like your dog just died, as in recently
I've always loved the outer limits of what a drone based track can be, ever since listening to Zerthis Was A Shivering Human Image by Eluvium. I'm going to try some of these ideas on my next drone tapes...
I like your drones, Jameson. Those interested in this kind of thing might want to give @synkrotron channel a listen too. He's quite good at keeping a drone fresh. My drones? Not so much. 😀
8:45 re/ tape loops, Hainbach would say: Try half speed.
Half speed best speed
hainbach is bolshy
Tried it. He's not wrong.
Even the electric guitar isn't gonna blow people away like in the 50s. It happens to everything. Synths. Sound design. That said, I don't find your drones boring at all.
That made me go listen my own track named .... Drone 😆 Now I know science behind it, I used it as bass, rhythmic, texture, melody, moves, rubs, and sweet spots. Never thought fancy organ leg work is for drone notes and not gas/brake! 🤪 Drone feticists are happy, next video bass rehab, please! ❤
I am sorry, I am so sorry, I'm a linguistics guy, I love thinking about the sounds we make in language, I mean this question entirely innocently but I must know! You say "drone" every time, in this video, in a way that surprises me, with (roughly speaking) a short, unmoving 'o' sound rather than what I've always heard before in every native English dialect, a longer 'o' sound that closes up as it is pronounced. So I am asking--do you by chance have a faint trace of an accent from some other language poking through there? (I.e. do you have a second native language or were raised around one?) Or is this just an American regional accent I wasn't aware of? (I've been assuming yuo're from Arkansas or nearby from what I've heard so far.)
I just noticed one time where there’s a diphthong between the short O and the long open O, around 7:30. FWIW I have noticed some American accents just have more-clipped “roll” vowels. A lot like in Southern England it’s a lot more clipped than in the North or in Scotland.
Mississippi. I don't consider my accent to be very thick, but it does poke through on certain words. I actually appreciate your explanation as most people just call me Billy Bob Thornton and move on haha
Beautiful stuff, the track with the midtone drone reminded me a lot of the across the spiderverse spundtrack
beauty is in the eye of the beholder while I am here, are you doing something for Drone Day this Saturday? I am hoping to do a livestream
Same here, looking forward to your release! I have a teaser for drone day. Let’s drone!!!😎

It's what Billy Bob Thornton would've wanted
always an inspiration - thank you!
Drone fanatic, not afraid to admit it. Evolving dunes are the best!
I love your videos about applying classical musical knowledge in other styles!!!
I love you’re content I love seeing all your toys and the way you use them but if possible in the future you can teach this ideas in the box with plugins so I can see it in that perspective. Thanks !!
This tutorial videos are really nice
Thanks!
@@JamesonNathanJones Thank you!
They have their place for sure. Love a good drone 😊
