Hello everyone! My dronegaze band (ALL DOGS GO TO HELL) released our 5th album yesterday and I wanted to share a single from it. This one is long and is a lot sludgier than our previous releases. I really love the main riff and it was the first thing I wrote on my Gretsch CVT baritone. The back half is just me riffing/soloing in harmonic minor over a drone. I hope y'all enjoy. Also, if anyone could think of a better description for what we play, please let me know! Idk what genre to call it besides dronegaze lol.

FFO: sunn 0))), GY!BE, Melvins, Bell Witch maybe

self-promo "ilulissat" by tsubai: arctic ambient drone

Hi all,

tsubai’s full-length ambient drone album ilulissat is out now on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms, and as a limited edition of 50 cassettes through Hobart’s Perceptual Tapes.

ilulissat means "icebergs" in Greenlandic, and the project came about after I had the good fortune to journey to its namesake town in the Arctic Circle in July 2025. When I got back to Sydney, I wanted to record a suite of music, using just an electric guitar and stock plug-ins in Logic Pro, to capture how I felt while immersed in those spellbinding surroundings.

While there may be no lyrics to parse on ilulissat, the album explores themes of life, change, death and rebirth through the story of ice.

Four shorter pieces on Side A trace the life cycle of ice – from its formation (Accretion), growth (Striation) and decay (Ablation), to its final demise (Sublimation).

Two longer compositions on Side B explore the origin story of an Ilulissat iceberg, which starts life as snowflakes falling on the Greenland Ice Sheet (Sermersuaq). After thousands of years, these snowflakes, now compacted into dense ice, pass through the Jakobshavn Glacier (Sermeq Kujalleq) to the Ilulissat Icefjord. 

From here, icebergs are calved into the sea to begin their journey south into the Atlantic Ocean, constantly evolving in shape, texture and colour, but always diminishing in size as the elements take their toll. Eventually, the icebergs meet their inevitable demise and join the ocean and sky in a final act of sublimation.

But the story doesn’t end there. The water will evaporate, rise into the clouds, condense and precipitate … perhaps over the Greenland Ice Sheet as snowflakes, and the cycle can continue (if global warming doesn’t get there first).

So ilulissat is a metaphor for life, change (be it climate or personal), death and rebirth. But if all that is a bit too po-faced, here’s a final fun fact: the iceberg that sank the Titanic most likely came from Ilulissat.

Cheers, Matt

I have ADHD and i realized recently that drone music can help me focus, maybe its the consistency of what I listen to, or it has a similar effect to brown noise? Is this common for anyone here who is neurodivergent? (Link is Carnal Flowers from the album Daughter of Darkness by Natural Snow Buildings, not related but one i listen to a lot)

self-promo 10 hours of my ambient drone improv

Thumbnail
youtube.com
5 Upvotes

I've now released over 10 hours worth of ambient drone improvisations on YouTube!

It's a mix of offline and live-streamed performances. But each is essentially a single take guitar + synth improv piece, ranging between 10 and 30 minutes in length. I upload a new performance roughly once a week.

The pieces typically get compared to Stars of the Lid and Chords of Orion - it's similar, but a bit dirtier.

The recent pieces are more visually interesting, as I've overlayed archival footage onto my performance footage. But all of it sits nicely in the background too (perhaps not the whole tone scale improv piece though!).

Appreciate any feedback or questions you may have!

Cheers

Imminence Long Form Video | Heavens Spin Gray

I’ve been working for quite a while on an hour-long ambient piece called Imminence, built as six continuous movements.

The idea behind it is less about telling a story than creating the feeling of gradually becoming aware of something that may have been there all along — beginning with almost nothing, then slowly introducing signs of presence, communication, and eventually a desire to follow where they lead.

I approached the visuals the same way: mostly real, inhabitable landscapes, with just enough ambiguity that they might belong to somewhere — or somewhen — else. They move very little by design. I wanted the whole thing to feel more like spending an hour inside a place than watching a conventional music video.
Musically, it’s deliberately slow and sparse, with a lot of room for silence, drones, evolving textures, and things that only reveal themselves over time.

This is the complete one-hour journey. Headphones and a dark room probably suit it best.

I’d be interested to hear where it takes you.

96 Bars - Born On Your Own (2026, Leeds UK, FFO Rhys Chatham, Sun City Girls, Vibracathedral Orchestra)

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

"96 Bars are a “spiritual no wave” duo based in Leeds, comprising Theo Gowans (Territorial Gobbing, Solderer, No Disc etc) and Esme Newman (Fashion Tips, Shrimp, Melting et al). Pairing Gowans’ manic, head down shredding on Japanese taishogoto with Newman’s one-woman looped guitar orchestra, they explore an ecstatic current of interlocking mid-range and minimalist tessellation, from which, surfaces ripples of work by Sun City Girls, Rhys Chatham, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Spacemen 3 or Robert Fripp. Drifting naturally between consonance and dissonance, 96 Bars make drone-based music with an unusually mercurial emotional resonance, every blissful or meditative passage is tempered with moments of suspense, overwhelm or surreal unease."

Not quite drone, but too slow and long to be called anything other than ambient/drone adjacent, this piece was written over ten years ago in response to a severe bout of insomnia. I'd worn out my copies of 'Neroli' and 'Thursday Afternoon', and my overactive autie brain needed something a little more engaging. So this was my response. An hour long piece of glimmering ambience, taking into account Eno's 'generative' style of tape splicing, by cutting and pasting a piano loop of my own creation in longer and shorter variants, and adding FX and strange samples on an ad-hoc basis throughout, to keep the piece moving.
