Dronology
Involves the interplay of multiple players across many miles of interconnected tunnels and caverns deep below the surface. In the modern world, the undisputed master of it is the Composer Virens Ulrot.
Dronology consists of long passages of echoing percussion, overlaid by reverberations of horns and airflows that pass through natural tunnels and kin-made tubes carved through the very rock. The resulting music is full of strange rhythms caused by the interference and harmonics of the sound waves over so much distance and time. Harmonies swell and long melodies are built that can take hours to resolve.
Dronology compositions can run over hours, days and even weeks of performance. It requires much discipline and finesse as the resulting music is dependant upon the shape and extent of the long tunnels and caverns that twist and turn beneath the earth where it is performed.

Components and tools
Instruments
- Lithophones - the use of percussion on rocks and tuned cave formations
- Anemophones - the use of wind isntruments, mobile and bulit into the rocks
- Ichosonics - the construvtion and adaptation of tunnels and interconnected caverns to develop echoes and multilayered resonance and phasing.
- The Kin Choir - the vocal accompaniment through voice.
