Drone is an installation activated by four sound sculptures that play music in real time through the pulsation of strings in cyclical patterns. The sculptures take as reference the resonance chamber of wooden acoustic instruments, as well as the shape of some wind instruments, allowing to take advantage of their acoustic properties. Each sculpture has a motor that automates a system of string pulsation by means of wooden, plastic and metal guitar picks.
The resulting music is enveloping, as it comes from different sound sources that are distributed throughout the space. Each one produces a cycle of notes that is regular, but when listening to the ensemble it acquires an apparently random character. Repetition is used as a mechanism to evoke a state of introspection or trance in people.
A shift of Walter Benjamin's proposal regarding the loss of aura in the reproduction of a painting is proposed, this time in relation to sound, emphasizing the value of a sound produced in real time, as opposed to the loss of aura that the reproduction of the recording of the same would suppose.
