The album is a travel in the modern, in the city and in its difficulties, in its non-places and in its desperations. Is a three-part narration that follows a gradually alienated and desperate point of view, in his try to search for something that can define him. This descent to hell goes along with a gradual loss of form, in which pure noise tries to become the real lead in the developing of the song. 

A Monogram

La “coalescenza” è un fenomeno fisico tramite il quale delle particelle “si uniscono per formare delle entità di dimensioni maggiori”.
In questo brano, un field recording di quasi 50 minuti (che documenta le operazioni di pulizia al termine di una giornata di mercato) viene sembrato in 12 parti, le quali vengono sovrapposte e manipolate. Ciascuna, singolarmente, segue una sua catena di effetti, culminante in un riverbero a convoluzione che genera un pattern armonico: il risultato è un drone, una entità immaginaria, all’interno della quale si avvicendano vari interventi, sottili richiami e brevi rumori generati dal materiale originale.

Second track from the "(null) point ex_ EP, "00_0", is an experiment in drone music, in which layers of noises and notes piles up, enhancing clicks, glitches and crisps sounds.

The List is a site specific multichannel sound sculpture that broadcast an algorithmic composition made from the numbers included in UNITED Against Refugee Deaths’ List of Deaths. Lasting around 2 and a half hours, can be arranged in a 4 channel / 8 channel surround system or in a specific configuration for the place that will host it.

It’s first installment has been the main hall of the Bocconi University during MEMI Fest in Milan (11/09/2019 - 14/09/2019).

This excerpt is a stereo reduction of the original 8 channel sonification, concerning days between 01/01/2017 and 05/05/2018 (original segment title: "01_01_2017_05_05_2018")

The List [stereo reduction - excerpt]

Chelidon Frame is an experimental electronic music project that mainly works with field recordings, radio interferences, guitars, and processed sounds.

His installations are experience-based and suggest a dialogue between the location (both virtual and physical) and the sounds proposed, aiming to deliver a message in the simpler yet most effective way. The use of code, data analysis, and data-driven sounds, allow information to be experienced anew. 

In his studio works and live sets, different layers of sounds - guitars, synthesizers, and custom-made instruments - pile up creating unexpected new soundscapes. He is the founder of the Asynchronous Drone Orchestra.
