Contemplations is the launch of Acousmatic Composer and Sound Artists, Emma Margetson’s new album with Empreintes Digitales ‘Contemplations’. Join us for an evening of music composed over the past decade charting a prolonged engagement with the medium of sound. The passing of time remains an important focus within the album. Throughout, sound stands on the edge of the abyss of being; it is evanescent, a temporal fading that passings just as it arrives.
