Billy Newcomer is a Drone Music studio project assembled from a small band-like line-up: piano, guitar, bass and synthesizer, each recorded separately and then reduced to long sustained parts. The piano holds pedal tones, the guitar adds feedback swells, the bass supplies a slow root note and the synthesizer binds them together.
The pieces retain a faint memory of song structure, with sections that shift gently in key. The atmosphere is warm, slightly nostalgic and accessible. They suit listeners coming to drone music from post-rock or ambient pop.
