REQ: Orchestral Tools Drones

A universe of complex and layered drones, from subtle and evocative to dark and destructive.

Like a ray of dark light, a drone is a primal statement of intent—shifting and beating on an endless path all its own. Created with experimental musician Alexander Hacke, this collection offers a phantasmagoria of complex, playable drones. These drones were carefully designed by Sascha Knorr and Timo Loosli—a perfect foundation for scores, atmospheres, meditation, and rituals.
