This is the first of a series of pieces I am creating ... no particular genres planned, just keeping the music very minimal and simple for the first piece, which is drone metal. I've discovered a cool band called Chaos Echoes who do some really interesting, very heavy doomy metal. They are also very experimental, and are not afraid to try playing in different styles of heavy music.
I'm also experimenting with using an AKAI MPD218 for playing and programming the drums. I find using the pads is much more dynamic and realistic. Dynamics are so important when using drum samples to really get the "feel" right.
The images are from some photos I took over our vacation, when we visited the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, MA, and the Tower Hill botanical Gardens in Boylston, MA.
So here's my latest piece of music, a heavy, minimalist drone.
