"Drones can be calming, soothing, unnerving or anything at all," explains Orlando musician and ODrone organizer Phil Penley. While this may sound vague on the surface, it's a fairly succinct explanation of the endless sonic vistas possible in drone music — a form of sound practice that can take the form of gentle background hums or ear-bleeding walls of sound, and all points in between.
Let the #ODroneMF begin!
As an Orlando-based, grassroots movement, the ODrone Music Festival seeks to present drone music in all its forms through performance, education and celebration. Our inaugural event will take place on May 25, 2024 at The Nook on Robinson. Additional music workshops, educational events and community performances will occur prior to the debut concert and ongoing throughout the year.
