Presenting GUEST ARTIST #2: Matias Giuliani & Silvina Zicolillo (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
2025-06-02 18:00 - 21:00 | SP·CE, Billrothstraße 6, Wien, 1190, Austria
What happens when listening becomes uncertain—when voices blur, and clarity dissolves?
In their contribution to AUDIO GHOSTS, artists Matias Giuliani and Silvina Zicolillo explore the veiled, the interrupted, and the half-heard. Their work questions how we relate to incomplete sonic impressions and the imaginative processes that fill in what cannot be fully perceived.
At the opening, the live performance UN SOLO TEXTO Y UNA SOLA VOZ (“A single text and a single voice”) investigates the auditory confusion between two voices. The installation RÉPÉTITION invites reflection on the unheard—the sound that is sensed yet remains elusive. The program also includes the premiere of n. n., a new quadrophonic electroacoustic composition.

PЪ7×7 is a quadraphonic sound installation working exclusively with sine tones. A 7×7 matrix of 49 frequency ratios spanning 28 Hz to 564 Hz constitutes the compositional material. Algorithmic processes govern the rotation, layering and thinning of matrix elements across a continuous 30-minute cycle. Spatial distribution across four channels generates position-dependent acoustic phenomena — room modes, interference patterns, beating, combination tones. The installation operates autonomously; visitors enter and leave the space freely.

Utilising an array of 16 rotating pairs of Aeolian flutes, this installation facilitates a complex intersection of physical acoustic phenomena and psychoacoustic perception. Each pair of flutes is tuned slightly apart, producing acoustic beating through the physical interference of close frequencies. Also at play are the intermodulation products (combination tones) generated by the non-linear physiology of the inner ear and frequency modulation derived from the Doppler effect as the flutes rotate. By juxtaposing measurable acoustic phenomena with auditory illusion, the installation serves as a critical inquiry into the divergence between objective physical stimuli and subjective human perception, a distinction of increasing relevance in a contemporary landscape where the boundaries between the real and the unreal are increasingly obscured.
