Programme Note
Aposiopesis refers to a breaking off or leaving something unsaid. It is of Greek derivation translating to ‘becoming silent.’ This work explores the psychoacoustics of sum and difference tones with aspects of aposiopesis playing out in both the harmonic language and in the punctuation of silence and air sounds.
