IA ~ Peak of Anchorite

There’s a part of ambient music closely tied to drone, the part that concerns itself mostly with repetition, that has distanced itself from both the ‘lightness’ of setting the mind adrift as self-spectator and the ‘heaviness’ of noisy irruptions of

Isnaj Dui ~ Abstracts on Solitude
