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
