    Hmm I have a track I'm finishing at the mo and I'm not sure if it'd really fall under drone or not. It's definitely got drone elements. @Antique_Guitars any chance I could send it to you when I finish it to see if it would count?

    Hi @Adam_MD

    Yeah go for it send it over and I can check.

    To be honest the rules for this one are so open that I am sure it will be fine, also what some people consider drone is completely different to other peoples view so it is completely subjective anyway.

    I recorded a couple of drone layers for a piece today. I have no idea what it's going to turn into.

     If I manage to do one myself it will be very lo fi as I don't really have any decent recording equipment.

    I had a go and it turned out a bit of a psychedelic mess.  To many layers I think.  Back to the drawing board....

    You mentioned Terry Riley, how about something that's inspired by Steve Reich? Would phasing and/or pulse music come under drone music, or does there have to be a constant, drone tone going on?

    I think pulses could be ok, I don't think it has to have a constant repetitive drone as such it could kinda meander a bit.

    At the end of the day its the members of the forum that decided the winner so if they like it they like ;-)

    I'm actually finding this a little more difficult than I thought, as soon as I add a little melody or vary the rhythm it starts to sound like a conventional song rather than a drone.

    I totally understand what you mean, the same thing happens to me. After a while you just have to go with the flow and just enjoy where the music creation takes you.

    I'm trying to do an iPad only track.

    I've got as far as the drone track, which I rather like.  Now I'm wondering whether extra tracks would just spoil it.
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Maybe listen to some classical Indian ragas for inspiration - very melodic but built upon drone tonalities. Or some of George Harrison's raga inspired tunes for something a little closer to home?

    Put this Drone together, took about 20mins. Sorry there's no effects, it's just the guitar plugged into the PC.

    No you need to send your tracks and an image to fretboardchallenge@Gmail.com

    I think people are just sharing their ideas with eachother at the moment.

    First time I've joined in one of these, and I don't think we are (now I've read the rules again).

    The one I posted was a quick try I messed with the other night, my official entry will be e-mailed in as per the rules!
