The titles are all generated via another program that did a kind of Dadaist cut-up technique. Played in order they are already played at random. One of these was selected at random for release.Īn hour of drones that can be played at random. The resulting tracks were randomized into collections of 60 tracks of 60 seconds each.

I ran the Grove of Whispers archive through a script that cut everything into 60 second segments, adding fade-ins and fade-outs, to make tracks that were exactly 60 seconds long.

I had seen someone asking about making drone music and people saying something like 'well the first thing you got to understand about drone music is they are going to be long.' I thought when I seen that 'aha, there's an assumption everyone makes, I'll see what happens when I do the opposite.'īeing lazy and busy I thought what I would do was to write some programs -I'm always keen to write some programs.

One Minute Drone came out the idea of trying things that other people don't. Grove of Whisper's richly textured drones reworked into minute-long pieces to play in order or shuffled.
