The Stella Maris Drone Orchestra is an evolving electro-acoustic
collective. Purveyors of ambientkrautdoomragas to the discriminating
psychonaut since 2003. Since its inception the SMDO has filled venues
across London with soundscapes from the furthest reaches of the harmonic
spectrum: from hypnotic oceans of tone to harsh shambolic dissonances.
In 2007 the SMDO will be manifesting once again, possessing both venues
and vinyl on a plane near you. Drone on!
Maybe one day we will return.

"...what a pleasant sight, everyone on the floor with gear all over, exchanging cables and inputs, sharing mikes and cigarettes, laughing and droning... and how good it is not to know who is doing what, sometimes even not knowing if it's oneself. So don't miss the Stella Maris Drone Orchestra, they'll sooth your aching soul and body. "
Jean-Hervé Peron
"Its hard for me to describe just how awesome it was playing with these guys tonite, especially the second set - very magical and cathartic... The finale was like a god dancing on the rim of an exploding volcano."
