Dark background drone made with the new SkannerXT synth. It is a new kind of synthesis that I'm just getting into. Kinda freaky.

Hollow creepy background pad. This is not the feel-good hit of the summer. It is more like the cheese-grater to the brain of uncomfortableness.

This is more of a chordal soundscape than a drone. There is a little bit of hope here and there, but it is tempered with a deep sadness. Probably useful after a loss. Beautiful, horrible.
