About
12-Hour Drone: Experiments in Sounds of Winter
EMBRACING WINNIPEG’S WINTER. HIBERNATION. COMING TOGETHER IN SLOW BREATHING & HEART RATE.
Friday, Feb. 3 Midnight until Saturday, Feb. 4 Noon
A satellite of 24-HOUR DRONE, a partnership of Basilica Hudson and Le Guess Who?
12-HOUR DRONE is a satellite of 24-HOUR DRONE, an immersive event and all-encompassing experience, and a roving, transatlantic series created and presented by Basilica Hudson and Le Guess Who?, featuring musicians and sound artists experimenting within the spectrum of drone.
Bringing 12-HOUR DRONE to Winnipeg for the first time during winter’s depths as part of a significant new music festival is a divine opportunity to invite the threads of the region’s culture to weave into one. Melissa Auf der Maur, co-founder of Basilica Hudson, in collaboration with WNMF Curator Matthew Patton, are curators of the 12-HOUR DRONE.
We aim to bring cultures together, demonstrating the diversity inherently present within all music. The cross-pollination of instrumentation, musical traditions and culture creates a tapestry of human experience, elevating the whole, greater than the sum of its parts. Diversity of sound links things not usually linked through a seamless sonic and communal experience, with connections and dialogues opened in unexpected ways.
