…Before a Droplet Hits the Water was inspired by an image that captured the moment of what the title depicts. A paradox is created by the frozen frame of this ordinary event. Although the droplet may be the focus of attention due to its dynamic nature, it is the water that holds the tension yet to be broken. It is a strange moment when the perception and the expectation evenly take up the brain. The music is a reflection of this scenario in the aural dimension. The foreground is constantly but slowly modulated while the background undergoes a stealthy shift, leaving the audience in an uncertain space between establishing their expectation and it being already satisfied.
