In the autumn of 1965, a year before I met Srila Prabhupad and started chanting the Hare Krishna mantra, I attended two concerts by the drone-music pioneer La Monte Young. His powerful offerings reinforced my desire to live a spiritual life. Decades later I composed these pieces. They’re influenced by his use of sustained harmonics, plus Asian overtone singing. Not all employ those methods directly, but all do proceed from what Young has called a “drone state of mind.” Much of their intended interest lies in subtle variations of tone. So small speakers, headphones or earbuds may not deliver a satisfying result.
