THE TWILIGHT DRONE is the third instalment in Johannes Contag’s SLEEPYTIME series released on Monkey Records. While SCHLAFWANDLER and YOU ARE FEELING SLEEPY were music albums, containing hypnotically slow, minimal and at times meditative pieces of instrumental music, THE TWILIGHT DRONE is also a musical film. As Contag’s previous SLEEPYTIME releases were an homage to the origins of ambient music, the current work explores the notion of the ambient film. In the context of Contag’s SLEEPYTIME series, THE TWILIGHT DRONE is a consequent step towards the sedative and meditative minimalism he has been exploring already – where less really is more. While the pieces on the previous albums varied between five and twenty-five minutes in length, this is an uninterrupted album-length drone piece that works not only as soundtrack but also as an ambient work in its own right.
