Arone Dyer

Arone Dyer, also known as dronechoir, is an extraordinary creator who is revolutionizing the world of choral performance. As the director, composer, organizer, and choreographer of Dronechoir, Arone brings together a diverse group of unfamiliar female and female-identifying individuals to create captivating impromptu acapella performances. With each presentation, Arone's goal is not only to provide a mesmerizing auditory experience but also to challenge the barriers of both performers and audience members through subtle sonic changes and moving meditations. What sets Dronechoir apart is its unique approach to funding. Instead of charging a monthly fee, Arone offers patrons the opportunity to contribute $10+, $25+, or $100+ per presentation. This direct financial support goes towards the preparation of each performance, ensuring consistent compensation for participants and enabling collaborations with new composers. By maintaining the business side of Dronechoir more successfully, Arone can focus on creating even more opportunities for those who wish to organize their own Dronechoir performances. But it doesn't stop there - Arone's vision extends beyond traditional concert venues. Through this Patreon page, Arone aims to bring Dronechoir processes to incarcerated women and girls in Columbia County, providing them with a transformative experience that can foster genuine connection and vulnerability. Additionally, Arone plans to develop a Dronechoir App and release professionally recorded audio of key performances, making this one-of-a-kind project accessible to an even wider audience. Arone's dedication and passion for Dronechoir are evident in the numerous presentations they have already delivered. From their debut at the 2015 24-hr Drone Festival at Basilica Hudson in Upstate NY to subsequent performances involving over 180 vocalists, including many returning participants, Arone has consistently pushed the boundaries of what choral music can achieve. If you're seeking an unforgettable auditory and experiential journey that celebrates vulnerability, genuine connection, and the power of music, look no further than Arone Dyer and their mesmerizing project, Dronechoir.
