	Drones in Indian Music (Tanpura, Surpeti, etc.)
		There are amazingly few modes used in Western music, so the mind unconsciously looks at the intervals between the notes (e.g., whole-step, whole-step, half-step, etc.), and uses this structure to identify the tonic.
		Although these lush drones are available, there is a tendency to use them judiciously; otherwise the performance may become muddy and the modes indistinct.
		Although tivra Ma is not acceptable as a secondary drone, it is acceptable as a tertiary drone.

		Minimalist music, at least originally, tended to restrict itself to a tiny repertoire of pitches and rhythmic values, like the F Dorian scale and steady 8th-notes of Philip Glass's Music in Fifths.
		The postminimalist composer Paul Epstein once suggested to me that music of strict processes is minimalist, while music in which the composer has altered the result of a process, following his or her own intuition, is postminimalist.
		In minimalist music this harmony is almost always related to the diatonic scale or mode - though there are important exceptions, such as Phill Niblock's music and James Tenney's Chromatic Canon, which applies a minimalist process to a 12-tone row.

		Drone music is about as far away from music as you can get before it stops being music (depending on your definition of music, obviously).
		This music is primordial, infinitely deep and sludgy, but without the hugely low bass sounds that many modern bands resort to if they want to sound sludgy.
		Not because the Syndicate’s half-hour drone is overly experimental.

		On the pieces "Holy 1" and "Holy 2," the composer creates dense drone soundbeds from a series of oscillators, a primitive tone generator that was integral in the development of electronic music, and constructed slow variations of the monochord that these devices would create.
		As a restored recording, the fidelity on this release is somewhat compromised, but through the slightly muffled noise springs a music that is still vital today, fascinating as an insight into the extremely experimental period of 20th century American music.

		Say the word drone and, depending on your conversation partner, any number of possible responses might emerge: an entomologist's exegesis on the male honeybee's mating practices, the military expert's account of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, perhaps a musicologist's analysis of the drone-like features of the bagpipe, bluegrass banjo, and didgeridoo.
		To begin, sustained intonation that establishes a harmonic center for its accompanying elements; the drone might utilize a single note repeated indefinitely or, at the opposite extreme, all of the scale's notes spread across numerous octaves.
		While group members Kevin Doria (bass and guitar) and Joe Denardo (guitar) embrace the drone's primal power (the roar of “Anaheim II,” for example), their seething shards of guitar and waves of delay are loud but not dissonant or cacophonous; their “ambient doom” sound is rapturous, elemental in force and ethereal in effect.
