They’ve taken the Drone Sleepover aboveground and are hitting the road this summer to spread the gospel of midwestern ambient music. | ✍️ juggaloreporter
. From middle school till 20, I’d been aggressively pursuing this folk-music dream, and then that night happened. I was like, “Oh, here’s this genre I literally didn’t know existed . . . but it feels like my path!”
By Thanksgiving of 2016, I was really struggling in school. I’d switched from Pratt to Hampshire College, but I only lasted a semester. Will had just moved back to Chicago, and I was visiting family. We were recording together, and by January, I decided to drop out.There’s definitely a whole subgenre of ambient music from the midwest. I think it comes down to not just how it’s arranged but also how it’s made.
There’s a lot of sharing culture too. “Oh, I need this one reverb pedal for this one thing,” and now I’m coming over and giving someone the pedal to use, and “Oh, they’re helping me record now.” It’s a warmth of community that exists to generate this warmth of sound. At that first sleepover in 2019, we had seven artists, including myself. A few people came from out of town, so at its peak, maybe 15 guests. But when it came to the actual sleeping portion, most people headed out around 2 AM.
One point of pride for StretchMetal is that it’s all DIY ethics. It seems like a bigger deal because it’s a nonprofit now, but it’s still just me. I set what I think is a reasonable price for everything, but I want more than archetypal electronics bros to perform and come to my events. So whether it’s an application fee or a ticketed event, no one is turned away as a potential artist or participant for lack of funds.
