Adrian Utley's Drones for the Dark Months

For a night of unhurried sonic splendour, Adrian Utley curates a brilliantly intriguing exploration of drone music.

Drones can be found in many kinds of music across the world – bagpipe traditions, indigenous didgeridoo, classical Hindustani to name a few – and contemporary drone music traverses a host of genres including ambient, folk, electronic and contemporary classical. With performances from Scanner, the Spiralis Aurea Trio led by Stefano Pilia with Alessandra Novaga and Adrian Utley, and Bristol’s own JOW, featuring Pete Judge and James Gow, a tessellation of minimalist soundscapes and mediaeval composition will delve into sonic terrain built from the gradual, sustained evolution of sounds.
