Her music has won awards in various competitions and has been commissioned to be performed at numerous festivals around the world, as well as on international radio.

Since 2019 she works as an independent composer. ABOUT Ingrid Drese: «Pérégrinations d'une petite sphère happée par le temps» Acousmatic composition, stereo Duration: 18'14 Year of composition: 2020 Creation date: 11 March 2022 Place of creation: Alter Schlachthof, Eupen, Belgian Music Days «Wandering» translates into a fluctuating writing style, a wavering at the mercy of hesitation. The paths that do not end vanish because they are masked by others. «In the increasingly dense undergrowth he was getting entangled.» The paths that emerge from somewhere, that go away, one does not know where. Voices cut off, paths to the edge of the abyss, traces that fade away. «Should he go back on this steps ? Would he not then have to swivel round on the spot when in fact there was no room to swivel round in, where there was just a mere line on which to stand, where giddiness was inevitable, on the brink of the voids» Exits that open onto nothing. Copper-coloured trompe-l’œil calls. The ear is exasperated by the profusion of signs, and listening is lost. The step stumbles, the mind dithers. Moving forward without respite, the illusion of having found something. (Citations : « Moriturus » by H. Michaux) («Afterward» Translated by Michael Fineberg) «Pérégrinations d’une petite sphère happée par le temps» was composed in the composer’s personal studio.
