Description of drone music
Drone music is a genre of experimental music that is characterized by the use of sustained sounds, often produced by electronic means, that create a hypnotic or trance-like effect. The sounds used in drone music are typically long, drawn-out tones or chords that are repeated over an extended period of time, creating a meditative or introspective atmosphere. Drone music is often associated with ambient music, minimalism, and experimental music, and has been used in a variety of contexts, including film scores, art installations, and meditation practices. The genre has its roots in the work of minimalist composers such as La Monte Young and Terry Riley, and has since been explored by a wide range of artists and musicians.
