Drones by Alexander Hacke

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. Largely chromatic, intuitively playable, and very very long, these drones are carefully designed by Sascha Knorr and Timo Loosli—a perfect foundation for scores, atmospheres, meditation, and rituals.

Highlights:

• 362 GB of meticulously designed drones.
• Conceived and guided by Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten, hackedepicciotto).
• Playable intensity—add layers with the modwheel.
• Long samples—circa 1 minute.

• Orchestral instruments: Celli, basses, trombones.
• Basso profundo choir.
• Plus hurdy gurdy, tanpura, didgeridoo, ebow piano.
