This is Drone Operatør's last :.( radio show on Resonance Extra. We had some fun time the last 12 months and hope you had too. For this last show, we asked composer, improviser and saxophonist Tom Weeks to create a special saxophone solo session, which he did to our delight. And hell it's good!!!

The rest of the show we will play our brand new album SIM CARD HØLDER, which was created during the lockdown in collaboration with Ian Bruner and Gajek extending it with some extra material. We hope to see you again on other platforms.
Yours,
Drone Operatør.
