About Me

presence and absense of contact and signals. In its written form without a space between the words, ONOFF becomes the union of a dichotomy and a new subject that contains and mixes, within it, the contradictions and paradoxes which surround it ---"we were ONOFF" is:a musical project founded in 2001 in Venice, Italy ---a system that interprets and transforms reality through rhythm and melody without holding onto ideal structures or representations ---a multiformed subject that moves freely among resonances such as post-rock and noise atmospheres
