Ender

A nice example of blending Rock with drones, try them:

“Ender describe themselves as experimental drone rock – which means their palette is mainly comprised of layered slabs of overdriven guitar……..the pair have the capacity not only to construct great caverns of noise but to deftly evoke mood and emotion with sustained tones in harmony and dissonance. The arrangement of pure tone, minus premeditated riffs or the focus of a voice allows a listener to be carried away on its waveforms. The music is corralled into four unnamed parts, perhaps heralding a seasonal life cycle.” – NZ Musician Magazine

Hamada

Nils Petter Molvær is an amazing musician, he did bring a new sound to the ECM label, I remember listing one his first album (Khmer) and being completely overwhelm by his new sound. He is using a lot of sound treatments to it’s trumpets and also play with a lot of electronics, still the roots are in Jazz music.

The word “Hamada” is taken from the Arabian language and means dead, inanimately, congealed, lapsed. You can expect much more from his music, the soundscapes are exceptional. You can listen a few tunes on his web site:
