Culminating a ten year period, this release - Drums and Drones: Decade - captures the essence of the project in sound/image/text. The three albums - dating from 2013, 2015, and 2017, respectively - reflect the project's evolution over the years. The 5"x7" and 144 page book consists of liner notes for each album, images from collaborations with two leading NYC video artists, and an essay on Just Intonation, a.k.a. nature's tuning system. The CDs are inserted at the back of the book, and a download card is included. Drums and Drones is the solo project of Brian Chase, drummer for rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the NYC experimental music scene. Inspired initially by La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela's legendary Dream House installation, the Drums and Drones project aims to evoke meditative qualities through the use of resonant tones and sonic subtleties derived from drums and percussion.
