Pair / Impair (1978), 11m48s
  • Premiere: 1978 (Norwich, England, UK)

Pair (even): the balance between opposites (left/right, high/low, dry/resonant); equilibrium; the concept of stasis.

Impair (odd): the contradiction of pair; the element of imbalance which carries us out of stasis; the dynamic concept.

Pair / Impair: an extension of the relationship between dynamic and static musics (and their confusion) — a relationship which in itself can fluctuate between the dynamic and the static.

Pair / Impair was composed in 1978 in the Recording and Electronic Music Studio of the University of East Anglia (UK) and first performed in Norwich in 1978. It received a Mention in the Analogue Category of the 1980 Bourges International Electroacoustic Music Competition (France).
