Releated Draft is the name of a studio project developed within Drone Music, combining analogue synthesizer drones with recordings made outdoors. Wind against microphones, distant traffic and rain on metal surfaces are layered beneath slow string-like chords derived from classical voice-leading.
Each piece is assembled like a collage: environmental sound sets the space, the synthesizers fill it with long sustained tones, and small harmonic changes mark the passing of time. The mood is grey and contemplative, with an outdoor sense of scale. Played through speakers in a quiet room, the field recordings can blend with the real surroundings.
