Close Position
The concept is therefore to propose an immersive type of listening, in which the rather extended durations of sustained and seemingly static sounds create a certain tension generated by the anticipation of variation.

Casserley writes: “A key element of the Signal…

Winds, strings and electronics trace invisible weather systems, turning each exhalation into a fragile, shifting architecture of sound.
