The ZnZerna Music Hour w/ P.T. Burnem is an hour long weekly livestream that focuses on synthesis, sampling, sequencing and songwriting for electronic music. Sometimes we talk philosophy and composition, sometimes we jam, we always have Zerna (Dust Cats).
Droneuary 13th - The Hanged Man - Gb
One of my favorite cards, The Hanged Man represents inversion. The 4 over the 3. Also very much associated with water as it does reflection. The letter is Mem as in Memory, which relates to reflection. Contemplating this connection between reflecting, inverting and remembering can unlock a lot of insight.
Today’s drone was made with the 0Coast // Strega combination, clocked for 4 against 3 timing by the OP-Z. Esperfield was moving harmonics in 3 notes over 4 beats.

Droneuary 12th - Justice - Gb
Переглядів 334 години тому
Today’s drone is a real earth shaker. Benefits heavily from subwoofers or over the ear headphones. I used a classic trio, the “Dark Eisel” of 0Coast / 0Ctrl / Strega to generate the drone and those pulsing, phasing harmonics are wild. The Esperfield was tuned for complimentary comb-like texture harmonies. More than the scales, I’m thinking today about the sword of Justice. The swords are breath...
Droneuary 11th - The Wheel - Bb
Переглядів 147 годин тому
Droneuary continues to rotate onward. The wheel has motion. Crunchy Pulsar drone drums sequenced by the odd time master clock of the OP-Z. Threw a little chaotically pulsing Rumble of Ancient Times on there, and Esperfield is handling the spinning 6 note melodies. I learned a few things today. The Esperfield can do these very cool rotating lines, but it requires a lot of relaxed focus to keep t...
Droneuary 10th - The Hermit - F
Переглядів 109 годин тому
The Hermit stands alone, not because the character is isolated, though they are, but because there can be only one. Note the head lowered, the lamp held aloft. I used only one piece of gear, the ROAT (Rumble of Ancient Times) to generate the drone. Accompaniment by the Esperfield.
Droneuary 9th - Strength - E

Todays drone is for the Strength card. One of my very favorites. Something to marinate on that will get you closer to the strength card is the difference between strength and power.

ZnZerna - S4E1- Chariot Drone
Переглядів 812 годин тому
For the first night of season 4 we went in on the details of this Chariot Drone, my 8th drone of Droneuary, jamming on it, talking about the sonic construction, and the theory behind these Tarot Drones in General.
Droneuary 8th - The Chariot -Eb
Переглядів 1114 годин тому
Today’s drone corresponds to The Chariot. This is the most ambitious jam yet, combining elements from the Emperor, Emperess in SAMPLR and setting them in motion with drums from the Pulsar-23 controlled by the KO2. As usual the Esperfield is handling slow motion melodic content.
Droneuary 7th - The Lovers - D
Переглядів 1516 годин тому
On the 7th day of Droneuary my true love sent to me, the keys of the Emperor and Empress united under D. I’ve been having a good time finding ways to work sonic aspects of the cards into the tracks. This one starts out with another hidden sound found by the Esperfields pickups, some kind of wiring in the floor, I thought it sounded pretty and mysterious. It ends with the newly united couple rid...
Droneuary 6th - The Hierophant - C#
Переглядів 1619 годин тому
The Hierophant has always been an important card to me, its letter is Vav, or The Hook. This is the one who’s got what you need. Your connect. For today’s drone, I intended to use only the Esperfield through effects. The snow and cold changed that. When I sat down with this electric blanket the Esperfields pickups started buzzing with all sorts of crazy noise. So I took advantage of the Tensor ...
Droneuary 5th - The Emperor - C
Переглядів 5421 годину тому
The Emperor sits upon a square throne of stone. Heavy, stable, Organized. His key is C. I tried to keep things stable, active, and organized. This is certainly the least “drone” type track in the series, but it won’t be for long. I kept the hardware setup the same as for The Empress (Mononoke, SAMPLR, Esperfield and SLÖER), keeping some of the SAMPLR elements in common to show the connection be...
Droneuary 4th - The Empress - Gb
Переглядів 23День тому
The empress is Hathor. Empress means to bring order. Her color is green. Her key is Gb. I used Mononoke and SAMPLR for IPad on this drone. 2 of my all time favorite apps. Accompaniment by the electro-magnetic Esperfield through the Walrus Audio “SLÖER” pedal.
Droneuary 3rd - The High Priestess - Ab
Переглядів 33День тому
The High Priestess is water, is the subconscious. I was originally going to use a water fountain through the Wingie, because the Priestess is decidedly wet, but in the end decided on the greater compositional control of a bit of styrofoam. Strega is just doing its usual, beautiful thing, and I’m particularly proud of the Esperfield work on this one.

Droneuary 2nd - The Magician - E
Переглядів 21День тому
The Fool and The Magician have the same associated note. This is telling. For today’s drone, I used the same setup from the fool, Pulsar handling the heavy work, running through built in reverb. For the Magician, I took the light, monotone bells from The Fool and evolved them into less sparse more melodic droplets that pick up in number as the piece moves on. I also threw in a physical object, ...

Love all the plans!
@@barrya3474 Thanks Barry! Season 4 gonna Slap.
Yo Burnem! I'm really enjoying these daily drones videos! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Captain! Im enjoying putting them together. It’s a tight daily challenge.
Glad you got all these put up here. I was missing them on Twitch.
Hell yea, and season 4 is gonna be more regular. Got the process more streamlined!
Very nice music I love the audio from the podcast or something really gives it a vibe
Very nice of the algorithm to bump this to the top of my feed just as you uploaded it. Been a while, enjoyed the musical explorations and the McKenna overlay very much!
Apropos Eno and Bowie. I recently stumbled upon "Outside" or "The Nathan Adler Diaries" or somesuch. Never a big Bowie fan but that album was pretty interesting. Also might have to listen to "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" again now, it's been a while. So thanks for the Eno-nudge! :)
How do you like the OP z with the pulsar? Been thinking about grabbing both or the pulsar and a 0ctrl
I love the Pulsar, and I love the OPZ. I haven’t dived super deep into the sequencing with the Z on the pulsar… but now I’m thinking it could be an excellent combo.
i like this, thx for sharing your world with us
Thanks for putting ears on it! Doing it every Tuesday on Twitch.
Bro you got it going on! Sending love for your next show
Thanks Man! It was tight seeing you in Greenville!
let's go PT
DAMMIT BURNEM! Just ruined another fan chain nunchuckin' around my room to this song for the fifth time. <3<3<3 SO GOOD
Thanks Will! *Not responsible for damaged fan chains!
NOW THATs a SYNTH "i" could slip and fall in love with! Play us the HBD song now!
Loved 🖤 great performance
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Heck yeah
That’s dope!
Great performance 🤘🖤😊
you have quite the spaceship over there, enjoyed the music as welll- 😎
bro tweakin
rad!
Thanks Dan, I was just showing my partner Headhat Records. Glad it exists.
Raw and beautiful, you do it well my man!
Thank you, glad you’re enjoying the work!
🔥🔥🔥 we need more covers of Height songs in the world!! Stoked that you did this!
I feel like certain Height songs work so well as covers, almost like folk songs…
this is tight!!!
The Jelly Bush!
Jamming timeeeee
That's cool 🤘 like that light action
Love it man!
Thanks Duggenheimer!
Great combination of electronic and acoustic sounds… Thanks for for sharing :-)
Thanks! Got some excellent footage of the finished project we’re editing for a doc too.
that WAS tight!
So Much Fun!n You know when the lab is bumping... Feels good.
where is Dustkat Dream Drum Machine located?
Currently, the machine lives at The Invisible Gallery in Richmond Va. This footage was shot at tits opening in Greensboro NC. I’m taking it on tour this spring.
Great video thanks for sharing 🤘
Thanks! More to come for sure.
Awesome video!
That’s a great feature, thanx for sharing! Greetings 🖖☺️
Sure thing! Been really loving the explorations of this beauty.
Absolutely beautiful idea
Thanks Anthony! It’s gonna get an edit and be incorporated into an upcoming musical collaboration with my friend Myles Bullen. Pretty amped.
idk how this got into my recommended but i love it lol
The algorithms know you crave strange sound wiring ideas!
Whoah!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge ZnZerna! I have a question regarding this patch, What is the source of the frequency for the bass drone? It sounds to me like you're saying the 10V is going into VCA input, and out to the reverb, with the CV pad sending CV to the VCA. But if I try to set it up like that, there's a burst of sound every time I slap the pad, but no drone. It would need to alternate quickly between 10V and ground to make a square wave and drone, right? What did I misunderstand about your patch?
Its definitely a strange and tricky one. Sometimes you hit the pad and nothing happens, sometimes a click, then sometimes, I BELIEVE when it triggers the right feedback from the Reverb it starts that drone. I don't think you are misunderstanding. Definitely quite unstable, and I haven't really managed to stabilize it yet...
Oook that's really interesting good job done ✅
Thanks! Excited to be working it into some compositions.
just so so good.
Thanks Johno!
Interesting - thx a lot 🎼
Digging this patch!
I want to hear more....
Working on an album based around drones of this sort right now. More sculpture vids to come as well...
Thanks for this! Will give it a go.
Let us know how it goes!
cool. good work!
Thanks!
so let me get this straight. The 10V will turn a control source into a audio source?
Not really, those ten volts are smacking the living hell out of the reverb, then the control signals are determining How Much of the 10 volts are going through via the cv pin of a vca.
Awesome ! Love this. Great sequence into the bass module. This is next level Pulsar ! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🙏
Thanks Ken! Really love the potential for this alligator clip interface. Very thought provoking.
Love this ! So innovative and creative 👏🏻🙏👍
Thanks Ken! Looking forward to further exploration of this crazy machine.
Hell yeah! I appreciate the shout-out. This is a great video. I was really hoping you would play the sequence through the touch pad and it sounded so cool. Again, I appreciate the tactile approach that you and Guire are taking with the touch pads. That is great for fills and little interjections. I dig the Square LFO, it is much tighter. I really dig the attack to mute idea. Awesome sounds. Thank you!
Hey Man! Thanks for watching, and thanks for putting up the Walk and Talk vids. Very informative, and I find them to be Excellent jumping off points for further exploration. Go Team Pulsar!
Awesome! Like Guire said, the tactile approach to this patch is exciting. I want to loop those drones and build a up some rhythms! Got me itching to play!
The expandable nature of the common ground posts is super exciting. Pleased to be advancing the concepts, in concert with ya’ll!
Whaddoyoumean it doesn't sound great... It does sound great! Thanks for the vid!
This is a really nicely shot video!
Thanks Man! As long as shots are still, an iPhone works great... What kind of camera do you use? All your stuff looks real sharp.
Some sweet music here!
Thanks! Celebrated 6 months of ZnZerna this week, having a lot of fun with it.
