FREE DOWNLOAD Various Artists - "Quiet Drones 4 - Ambient Mega-Mix" from the Paper+Sound Soundcloud page: http://soundcloud.com/paper-sound/various-artists_quiet-drones-4 A 30 minute super-ambient mix of all four tracks by Heiki from the fourth compilation in the Quiet Drones series. The tracks have been mega mixed into one long continuous mix by paper+sound label head Heiki Sillaste. Individual tracks are available from: http://www.paperplusound.com/ 1 Atonement "Winter Isolation" 2 Chromosphere "Thunder & Snow" 3 dreamSTATE vs. Heiki "Lost Expedition" 4 Kalte "Offworld" "Quiet Drones 4" is the latest installment in the continuing compilation series of experimental ambient drone music. This edition focuses on the theme of winter cold. The four pieces on "Quiet Drones 4", all attempt to create a detached and frigid environment for the listener. The four extended pieces stretch the boundaries of deep listening music, with the average length of each track hovering over the eight minute mark. This is icy music that over time, reveals multiple hidden layers of textures and tones. Quiet Drones 4 presents otherworldly and frozen sounds coaxed from unidentified sources. Compiled by Heiki Sillaste who has collected exclusive beatless tracks from ATONEMENT, CHROMOSPHERE, dreamSTATE vs. HEIKI and KALTE.
