Selected Drones is a selection of "hybrid" music of a collection of "ambient" tracks composed in the last 2 years. Hybrid combination of electronic instruments, computer music strictly intended environmental sampling "in the field." All the work is focused as the reinterpretation of electronic drone in the key (*) and arpeggio (**). The result combines, highlighting the peculiar traits for both: the continuous and exasperated tone for the first, the cyclic variation for the second one.

(*) The drone or "bordone" is an harmonic or monophonic effect accompanying a note or chord. For a long part or entire composition it's played continuously,sustained or repeated and determine the tonality of the composition.

(**) The arpeggio is an embellishment applied to a music chord. The notes are not performed simultaneously but in more or less rapid succession.
