The Drone

 

According to Wikipedia , "In music, a drone is a harmonic or monophonic effect or accompaniment where a note or chord is continuously sounded throughout much or all of a piece, sustained or repeated, and most often establishing a tonality upon which the rest of the piece is built. The systematic (not occasional) use of drones originated in Ancient Southwest Asia and spread north and west to Europe, east to India, and south to Africa (van der Merwe 1989, p.11). It is used in Indian music and is played by the tambura."

Technically, "The Drone" of Élan Vital isn't a drone at all, but after 15-plus minutes of the same handful of chord progressions, it sure feels like one - just ask some of the actors (or their characters).
