I Promise I Will Betray You

A wall of drone from Small Life Form. Intended use: drive away emotional monsters. Like a lot of my work I Promise I Will Betray You is about several ideas colliding. A friend of mine was talking about wanting to cover some metal songs on bagpipes. A couple days later I noticed a bagpipe setting on a synth I usually use for the "Blade Runner" sound & I came up with a chord structure I liked as a starting point for manipulation. While I was working on the piece we had the listening party for Droneuary 2026 & someone griped the music wasn't droney enough, which pushed me towards making things more static slab than I originally foresaw. At one of my dayjobs (because who can survive on just one?) I got assigned some binaural soundbath videos for review that felt like the world confirming things. This is what I spent most of my 20s listening to while I fell asleep, simple & dense drones to drive thoughts away & awaken some forgotten truth; but I was never confident enough in the work to release it. It's been decades, but I Promise I Will Betray You.
