Dial Tone Drone is a sound piece featuring conversations with electronic music pioneers and composers Laurie Spiegel and Pauline Oliveros, as well as excerpts of drone compositions. The piece unfolds the concept of the sustained note or drone in relation to the dial tone, and associ- ated discussions on telephony, telecommunications, electrical circuits, connecting voices, tuning in, and listening to sustained notes. Dial Tone Drone is edited in such a way as to hover between a conversation and a sound documentary/ composition - questioning, articulating and exploring the drone in all its political, conceptual, meditative and musical implications.
