Adam Stansbie:
Escapade

Escapade was composed using tiny fragments of sound. At the start of the piece, the individual fragments are not perceived. Instead, they are so densely packed that they (perceptually) fuse into much larger structures; one hears the source recordings, which are largely, but not entirely, orchestral. As the piece progresses, the individual fragments become increasingly prominent and are perceived as discreet units or entities. In this respect, Escapade was inspired by pointillist painting, a technique in which small, distinct points of colour are used to form a larger image. [Artist Statement]
