accidental records: an independent home for music without compromise

Pete Stollery (born Halifax, UK 1960) studied composition with Jonty Harrison at the University of Birmingham, UK. He now composes almost exclusively in the electroacoustic medium, particularly music where there exists an interplay between the original "meaning" of sounds and sounds existing purely as sound, divorced from their physical origins. In his music, this is achieved by the juxtaposition of real (familiar) and unreal (unfamiliar) sounds to create surreal landscapes.
