about

Drone Alone is an album of longform ambient instrumentals put together over Christmas 2019 by Dave Lancaster in his home studio.

The two tracks, both exactly 20 minutes long, were released on New Year's Eve just prior to the new decade 2020.

As the album title Drone Alone suggests, all elements were handled in isolation. This includes all writing, instrumentation, recording and production of the album's two drone tracks as well as the cover photography and concept.

A Fragile Geography
by Rafael Anton Irisarri

A Fragile Geography takes me someplace else. It washes over me like calming waves until I lose myself in the moment. Rafael Anton Irisarri always makes great drone soundscapes but this is a favourite. Dave Lancaster

Singularity
by Jon Hopkins

No other album I know of blends together such juxtapositions as well as Jon Hopkins' Singularity: The contrasting forces of dance against ambient, loud against quiet, space against noise. Incredible. Dave Lancaster

A Knight on a Boat
by Willebrant

supported by 14 fans who also own “Drone Alone”

The main theme here seems to be traveling. The subtext can be interpreted by the codas in each composition which just like water, appear to reflect on the human condition, which can mirror navigating conditions out at sea. Some songs are foreboding, as if to comment on the darker aspects of one's humanity, other times melodious and reflect on more positive aspects while on the final track the mood is elegiac, as are the complexities of the human spirit as whole. A highly immersive album. fran3000
