Drago is inspired by the sounds of nature produced in the area surrounding the Peña de Bernal in Querétaro, Mexico. Endless and rearticulating echoes, passing birds with their characteristic sounds, and fluctuations of air that collide with and pass through the dry and chipped stone are some of the sound phenomena that occur in this characteristic region. The piece transits between the distortion generated from rubbing and striking the strings of a piano and the FFT processes that are applied to these varied sounds, which become almost unrecognizable elements throughout the piece, thus generating echoes of the magnitude of the piano itself.
