Open Challenge #7 - Droning On

Great challenge idea - drones are just too much fun. Here’s my take. This is a Kermit, Mimeophon and Three Sisters.

Decided to go full 0))) on this. MC707, 0-Coast & guitar through OT because of the sound quality :upside_down_face: The 0-Coast is absolutely great for picking out those overtones while also slamming those subs at the same time.

Actually found the challenge quite hard, considering it’s a very simple concept. Some of the submissions are amazing and really interesting.

Super 6, Hydrasynth and Sirin

Magical moment : when I was designing the Sounds for this Challenge, my 5 years old son came in the Studio and sat on me. While he was listening, he said « oh, a Drone » referring to those aircrafts. What a coincidence.

So is there an auto DQ for falling short or busting the 1 minute ?

Nope, not gonna worry about a few seconds here and there, the one minute is just to keep it manageable, that’s all.

Hi Marc, for what purposes you will use the drones?

Nefarious uses probably

It is just a bit of fun, an open competition for everyone who wishes to take part. At the end (deadline is March 31) all submissions will be put up for a public vote and the winner will invent and host the next competition as is custom with these things here. Other than that, hearing all the different approaches on the same simple theme / task is always inspirational.

Have fun!

I explained the spirit of such challenges in the first one, a year ago.
Check it if you want more background on this…

I’m already counting more than 30 participations, I think that both the subject and the format were very well chosen, @MarcD.
You might want to shorten the deadline a bit…
And contact me to setup the voting thread!! I think I can make your life easier :tongue:

Will do, cheers!

Agreed, crossed my mind as well.

As @LyingDalai mentioned, most jumped in pretty early and lots of submissions already, so let’s set the NEW DEADLINE for MARCH 31 instead. That’s two more weeks for your one-minute drone. Seems plenty and no need to let this linger for another month. Cheers all for the submissions so far!

I think it would be awesome to download all of these. You could then put them in a player on shuffle with an automated cross fade and have endless drone of constant variation
