Resonance of a Drop

Resonance of a Drop is a live listening performance built from electronics and Buddhist bell, developed around a tension between complexity and minimalism. Presented within the focused setting of Migas, the work treats performance not as spectacle, but as a shared condition of concentrated listening. Through restrained gesture, resonance, and silence, the piece unfolds as a temporal environment in which small sonic events expand into a heightened field of attention. Rather than driving toward climax, the performance sustains a fragile balance between stillness, detail, and spatial awareness.
