A series of improvisational guidelines lead the ensemble towards the exploration of the written materials. The harmonic processes that manifest themselves produce tensions between the texture and the shape, which appear to be homogeneous and static: both stretch and contract depending on where the focus of attention is concentrated. Meanwhile, the presence of landmarks over time corrects the accumulated synchronous difference, and makes the process start over. These vibrations of the form cause an offset of parameters in perception and transform the sound object into different kaleidoscopic versions. 

Reset is an integral part of the work Caja uno by the SITIO group, an audiovisual concert collaboratively composed and performed by the members of the group, which was produced and presented during 2018 and 2019.
