Do fog horns count?
Ingram Marshall's "Fog Tropes" might be right up your alley. posted by neroli at 8:57 PM on September 24, 2008
Tony Conrad, for strings rather than horns.
I saw Tony Conrad here in NYC at PS1 this summer, and he brought a giant compressor and hooked it up to two horns, which he would play intermittently. The horns were screechingly loud and droning; combined with his strings, it was great. posted by suedehead at 9:18 PM on September 24, 2008
Building on Ponderance's comment recommending Pauline Oliveros . . . There's a minimalist/avant garde trombone player by the name of Stuart Dempster. His album "In the Great Abbey of Clement VI" and his collaboration with Pauline Oliveros and Panaiotis on "Deep Listening" (released by New Albion records) are exactly what you are looking for. These albums were recorded in a huge cistern, so "gorgeous, drifting, droning" is what you get. posted by ferdydurke at 12:16 AM on September 25, 2008
Maybe you'd like Chessie. There are train themes as well as ambient, drifting stuff...not much horn action though, to the best of my knowledge. Still, you might like it if you like that other stuff.
Also, have you checked out Last.fm? It's a great resource for figuring out more about what you may like...you plug in an artist you enjoy and it pulls up other pieces by other artists. I think it does a pretty damn good job too, and has relatively obscure stuff--I plugged in Keith Fullerton Whitman the other day, not exactly the most well-known musician ever, and it brought up tons of other not well known musicians that I'd never heard of, but which I enjoyed as well. posted by dubitable at 6:35 AM on September 25, 2008
suedehead, that Tony Conrad performance sounds great-- the compressors were playing the horns? If so, maybe the OP can rent that rig! posted by activitystory at 7:10 AM on September 25, 2008
Alvin Lucier (especially the Charles Curtis stuff)
