Nico Muhly
Drones
Album UK 2012 on Bedroom Community label
Classical (Contemporary, Drone, Experimental)
I started writing the Drones and... pieces as a method of developing harmonic ideas over a static structure. The idea is something not unlike singing along with one’s vacuum cleaner, or with the subtle but constant humming found in most dwelling-places. We surround ourselves with constant noise, and the Drones and... pieces are an attempt to honor these drones and stylize them. Nico Muhly, 2012 Drones & Piano: Commissioned by the Irving S. Gilmore International Keyboard Festival Drones & Violin: Commissioned by the Muziekgebouw, Eindhoven
