About
Drone is recognized as one of humanity’s earliest and most elemental forms of music. It is essential to indigenous musical traditions worldwide while it also has had a profound influence on modern music.
Inspired by this minimal and ancient form, the organizers of 24-Hour Drone present an immersive, all-encompassing event featuring an international roster of musicians and sound artists working in experimental, classical, non-western and other musical genres incorporating drone to create a full 24 hours of unbroken sound. The 2018 edition will feature a.o. drone orchestras, Celtic bagpipe artists and contemporary Indonesian gamelan players.
