 The word “drone” has an interesting polysemy, meaning both fixed buzzing noise and pedal point that shapes the tone of a composition.

 A living organism emerges through continuity and juxtaposition, whose life is, however, like that of real bees, quite brief: 27 minutes and 14 seconds.

Clarice Jensen's Drone Studies features two cello-driven compositions that explore the concept of drone through baroque pedal points and minimalist repetition. The review highlights the dual meaning of 'drone' as both a buzzing sound and a musical technique. The music builds slowly with cello clusters and subtle variations, creating a brief but living sonic organism lasting just over 27 minutes. This work blends classical tradition and modern experimentalism. Listen to Clarice Jensen's Drone Studies to experience minimalist cello drones shaped by baroque influences.
