The piece was commissioned by Peter Tilling, and festival Risonanze Erranti
with the support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.

Commissioned by Peter Tilling and the Festival Risonanze Erranti with the generous support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation, dropLET_GO • was premiered at the Festival Risonanze Erranti on September 24th, 2021, at the Protestantische Kirche Haardt in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany.

The piece unfolds as a gradual convergence: it begins with highly granular, repetitive textures and mechanically interwoven gestures that create a dense counterpoint of micro-interactions among the instruments. These complex, layered synergies form a restless, mechanical surface that propels the structure forward.

As the work progresses, this energetic fragmentation slowly dissolves into continuous timbral threads—sonic filaments that stretch and evolve across time. Through this transition from complexity to cohesion, dropLET_GO • explores the poetics of motion and stasis, of fragmentation giving way to resonance.

It is a study in transformation, where sound moves from resistance to release.
