While St Patrick's Day annoys the f*** out of me, bagpipes don't. I quite like them, actually. I think it's because I'm drawn to that droning sound, I always like when EDM producers put a sort of drone bass line in or when there's a "droning" sustained guitar chord in a song. I've liked bagpipes ever since I was little
Back in school I used those online sound machine things to study, I'd look for drone noises. I remember a tibetan choir one that was cool, you could play with the EQ and everything and manipulate the harmonies
