Drone Day 2026 on grey clay radio (30-31/05/2026)

All good things must come to an end.

Drone Day is over for another year and grey clay radio would like to thank all the artists who sent work in to be played on the station as part of the weekend event. It really was a superb standard and a sublime listen. Thank you to everyone for the appreciation and interest expressed.

Tracks that artists requested to stay in the grey clay schedule will be gradually added to the Deep Swamp mix over the coming days. It has been wonderful to welcome so many new artists to the station as a result of contributing to Drone Day.

It was an honour to play the Drone Day work from SENSA - the Sonic Exploration Network of South Africa - for the 4th year running. Such an incredible group of artists there. Sincere thanks to Jacques for making this happen.

Huge love to all the live performers who braved sweltering swamp conditions to play in GCR studio - you are all star amphibians and your performance recordings will be added to the Deep Swamp.

Thanks too to everyone who tuned in. We got some epic listening figures, proving that events like this really do reach a worldwide audience.

Musical niche-dwellers can be solitary animals, at least in our minds, but mass gatherings like this show we are out there!

(This page will remain up for a few more days.)

Bandcamp

Orquesta Delira

Orquesta Delira is a loosely associated group of individuals who will be attempting to play 4 (FOUR) SOMA Labs LYRA 8 Organismic analog synthesisers simultaneously. That's a total of 32 oscillators. These famously unpredictable and profoundly fascinating devices are as inspiring as they are unruly so be prepared for anything to happen.

Players:

Kate Bosworth (BMH, Dark Train)
MAF
Paul Jetten (Jettenbach, British Misery) as cardboard effigy
Thébru Čelet (Disorganism, grey clay radio)

(The name, Orquesta Delira, was suggested by Pablo Bas upon hearing of the project, whereby it's meaning in Spanish epitomises the spirit.)

B_R 06___91

Slow, slow, quick, slow, slow… taking it easy exploring the sound of mud, thick and heavy on the low end while clicks and slides, whooshes and spaced out echoes take care of the higher realms, feet on the ground, head in the starz…... any one for a slowwww dance?…

Terminal Optimism

Musique concrete, drone, sound art, noise, the occult and the borderless, roadless places of human experience. Terminal Optimism inhabits all of these and more. Endlessly innovative, a surging force in the local experimental sound scene and originator of Breeze Block Beats.
