Ceramic carved phonemes, petal-made equalizers, neon oscilloscopes, water and soil as graphical notations, dichroic reflections on sound surfaces. "Dialogo" is an essay about sound, language, and their visual representation. The encounter of two voices triggers a conversation, an unintelligible dialogue where objects ( including flowers ) react to soundscapes.

Dialogue means change.

Sound references

"Dialogo" is the encounter of two voices, which nurture the beginning of a conversation. An unintelligible conversation, with no defined language, based on sound art. The sound clips used in this video are from two albums, 'Lexical Music' from 1980 by Charles Amirkhanian and 'Zwischen' from 2018 by Jan Jelenik.


Waveforms and mechanism
 

The voice creates a waveform, which translates into animation curves. These animation curves control the engines, thus resulting in the representation of sound.

By changing the frequencies of the different phonemes, they are able to show the different patterns. These different patterns are used by the machines and are clearly seen in the scenes of the video.

"From a poetic point of view, the voice connects language with the classical elements of nature (air, fire, earth, and water) through concepts such as graphic notations and sound sculptures." - Blo que
