Onset / Offset
Pete Stollery
Programme notes
“Onset — beginning
Offset — displacement
Onset / Offset explores the interplay between the real-world connotations of recognisable sounds and their spectromorphological characteristics (their purely sonic qualities). The resulting ambiguities lead to some startling displacements and dislocations between events/articulations and their continuations/extensions.”
— Jonty Harrison [06]
