These drones, having been held in reserve, fill the gap in the release
catalog at THE3RD2ND_014.

The project was undertaken as a study in the construction of drones. 

Each track is based around synth-string improvisations in the Haskell
programming language with hsc3 by Rohan Drape and scsynth from SuperCollider. 
Additional improvisations on Kaoscillator and Kaospad were recorded in 
separate sessions. Both types of improvisations, recorded in 2009, were
processed and arranged in Ardour in January and February of 2011 to yield
these five drones.

The drones were mixed just slightly to give a 50-minute seamless listening
experience. The unmixed individual drones are also included in the file pack
which can be downloaded below.
