SILENCIO is a project born out of a lifelong fascination with music. Beginning as a research paper on design and the boundaries of perception, the absorption of concepts presented by modern free-thinkers such as Paul D. Miller and the dissection of the creative processes of John Cage and Jackson Pollock slowly began to change the project’s focus to more experimental grounds. Ultimately, the whole process became an inter-media experiment on the relationship between image and sound. The starting point is a short abstract story, translated into three short sonic landscapes by recording the sounds of objects present in the described scenes. These sonic descriptions are then processed by a specially-built Processing script, capable of analyzing the sound data and translating it into image data, creating abstract compositions as a final output.
