Oh young Padawan so much is still to learn...
UM I love Sunn and Earth

all i'm saying it it's not about the music, it's more about the sound
I wouldn't call Sunn O))) "not music" at all. They do write music, just not in a traditional sense. In Sunn O))) case its more about getting across a mood and creating more of a landscape. For example, with the recent song "let there be light", it sounds exactly like it says it does. Like this massive sunrise with spectacular color ushering the new day. It creates a sense of cosmic vastness, like your a dot in the presence of this massive thing.
As for their live shows, that it very much a similar experience. Its creating a mood like their records, but not just something you hear, but something your FEEL. It vibrates your bones and makes you feel like your somewhere else and part of something vast instead of in the presence of vastness. Its like the difference between reading the bible and going to church.
Anyway, /rant.

Yeah, i get what you mean, that's why I put the "not as we get music i mean"

and even what you have described later sounds like something i mean - it's a lot about onomatopoeia and emotions rising up due to the sound, but you don't listen to it because of the structures, patterns or riffs and songs even... maybe someone does, but my attention span can't encompass riffs so lenghty
so it sounds more like mantras or audiotherapy to me, or noise, but less abstract than trve noise i guess

Agreed actually! That's why I like Sunn O))) so much. Their music is very...sound bathy. Its like a form of therapy for me.

You guys is all saying the same things.
I'm having an "I love ILF" moment, as we started talking about Yngwie and ended up talking Sunn.
This place rules.
Get in on this hug y'all.

Less hugs is more hugs?
More hugs is more hugs?
Hugs is art?
Art may or may not be drone?
Drone is the binary pair of shredding
Shredding is more notes per second
More notes per second is more music
More music is more fuzz
More fuzz is more hugs
But is more hugs less hugs?
I confuse.

Earth 2 is actually just Rising Force slowed waaay down and run through a low-pass filter. You can do it in Audacity, give it a try.

I tried it, and you're right.
I exported it as a .WAV though and it was 600 MB.
EDIT:
Here's the mp3 if anyone wants a laugh:
https://soundcloud.com/josephprein/rrrr ... iiinnngggg
Check it out right around 8 minutes, that's where the solo is.
Slowed down to 1/3 speed and run through a low-pass filter.
