CL/FF1 > CHAOS LINGUISTICS / FREQUENCY FOCUS 1 
GRAVITATIONAL WAVES SONIFICATION AND HUMAN SOUNDSCAPES

Chaos linguistics is a research project born in 2023 as an exploration of collective frequencies, acoustic metallurgy, and connective resources. Chaos Linguistics intercepts the phenomenon of unisono, conceived as the sound of human interaction through language in relation to space, similar to how gravitational waves are detected by an interferometer. In this view, human sound occupies the ether and yet remains an intangible space. The research explores compositional processes that can give rise to electroacoustic works capable of contemplating and representing this phenomenon. CL/FF1 runs the second experimental composition born in the frame of Chaos Linguistics, created specifically for OTO SOUND MUSEUM. This project bridges two aspects related to discovery, the sonification of gravitational waves and the spectral nuances of human soundscapes.  Inspired by the detection methods of EGO-Virgo interferometer (Pisa, IT) and the ephemeral qualities of language as a collective phenomenon, the work proposes a generative composition. By drawing from both astrophysics and human cultures, CL/FF1 transcends traditional narrative structures, immersing audiences in a multisensory experience that blurs the boundaries between tangible and intangible, past and present, harmony and chaos. This interplay, at the level of sonic perception, draws parallels between the propagation of gravitational waves and the continuous generation of human sound, keeping interference as the core space for interaction.

TEAM 

Oli Bonzanigo is an artist and researcher focused on site-specific operations, socio-acoustic landscapes and  linguistic crossroads. She participated in various residency programs and exhibitions worldwide and developed projects for museums,  foundations, biennales, galleries, production sites, cultural programs, public institutions and collectives. Her practice dismantles and reconstructs zones of human interaction through associative scenarios and time warps. The immersive installations seek to decode the subtle anatomies of social mechanics and their metamorphic traditions, with a particular attention to contact zones, narrative trades and communication systems. With the Saharan region as a treasured muse, her inquiry moves through immaterial and mobile constructs such as  sound culture, linguistic architectures and cross-geographical matrices. Through a long experience in metallurgical production and research, material investigation integrates the linguistics  of frequency behavior, exploring the sensorial impacts and potential translations of acoustic waves into known and  unknown matter, rendered into spatial and participative experiences. 

Edoardo Cordero works in the fields of digital audio, sound engineering and electronics engineering. After completing his studies in electronics engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin he pursued his desire to apply the acquired skills to digital audio signal processing and spatial audio, with an approach to creation purely based on intuition, experience and pragmatic design. In the summer of 2023 he began collaborating with Spæs Lab Berlin. He currently works as a high school teacher in electronics while being active as a musician, developer and sound tech consultant.

Allaeldene Ilou is a researcher specializing in media, with a major focus on sound. His research is grounded in both empirical inquiry and professional experience. He seeks to craft approaches to media and contextualize information by integrating interdisciplinary perspectives blending media and the humanities. As a co-founder of HCM, he pursues research exploring the intricate relationships between sound and image in audiovisual installations, film, television, and theatre. He also collaborates with Cashmere Radio, curating the program Zaafran Caravan. For seven years, he worked as operations manager with the Moroccan orchestra known as Master Musicians of Joujouka.
