about

Drone Sleepover 2022 is the live recording of the 2nd Bi-Annual Drone Sleepover, a dusk-to-dawn ambient show, which took place June 18th, 2022. When experienced in sequential order, the album sounds like one continuous stem, with zero moments of tonal silence. Support of this album directly funds the 2023 Sleepover.

The 2022 June sleepover was held at the StretchMetal warehouse in downtown Chicago. With a head count nearing 100 people, the 4,000-square-foot warehouse became a cradle of tents, air mattresses, and blow-up couches, all for resting kinds.

As noted in the field guide: The night is a collection of rest, drone making, and exploration; examining the relationships among all sounds, bodies, and space at rest while in constant sonic orbit. Drone is a playful thing, and there are no lines between the performer and the viewer. (the drone) is a collection of all that happens. Rolling around in your sleeping bag is as much a part of the drone as the one pressing sustain. Everyone is an active participant.

P.F.O [person frequency oscillator] tracks:
The sleepovers achieve nonending sound through an on-deck, P.F.O mechanism. How it works: there are two locations on the left and right side of the room for performance setups. When the performer is nearing the end of their time slot, the artist up next will go to the available L/R spot and begin set up. Each P.F.O track ties the prior artist to the next through transition sound, sampling, and reverberations that occurred within the set experience.

a note from Metal:
I am in deep gratitude for all of you who came out, pitched a tent, made some music, experimented with pesto-dipped strawberries, or even left early in a state of tired ease. As you listen to this collection, I encourage you to digest not for each track's merit as an isolated ambient composition, but as an entire experience, as a felt, drone music sleepover.
