The material is relatively simple: drones, amplified percussion, distortion effects, and, in the final track, a range of objects.
Otherwise, the scene is characterised by the eerie sound of the planes, the drone of their engines and crackle of machine gunfire.
In more traditional musical terms this component could be thought of as a drone or pedal point.
In about one-fourth of the chants, vocal drones are added to the melody, and in a few cases instrumental drones are heard.
Wives of the middle and upper classes increasingly became idle drones.
Archetypical drones, overlaid with playful samples of string improvisation and instrumental effects develop the keynotes, roads and horizons for a series of soundscape situations.
Pitches a third, fifth or sixth above the drone acquire the status of stable notes; those a second, fourth or seventh above seem unstable.
The chants are rendered with organum and drones.
