Traditional / experimental practice

Circling Drone

A thick, slowly drifting drone circles your head once every 25 seconds: it passes in front, draws close to one ear and wraps around behind. Listen on headphones. This is spatial movement, not a binaural beat; there is no claim of any effect.

How is it made?

  • Cluster drone · A1 (440 Hz tuning), 7 oscillators
  • Spatial movement: sounds change position around your head; listen on headphones. This is not a binaural beat.

Sound is generated on this device in real time; no files are downloaded from a server. There is a 20 s fade-in at the start and a 1 min fade-out at the end.

Evidence

  • Near / Far

    Two crystal-bowl-like tones trade places in the depth of the room: as one draws near the other recedes, softening into the reverb. A singing bowl behind you. Listen on headphones. Synthesised, not recorded; there is no claim of any effect.

  • Deep Well

    A raw, dark cluster of square and saw voices on E1. A resonant band-pass filter, drive and a long delay give it a cinematic depth. A sound bed with no claim of any effect.
