Reserve Tickets HerePuncture Tones (2016), is a new composition by Chiara Giovando for voice, strings and subwoofers. Puncture Tones plays with the psychoacoustics phenomena of sonic masking, or the presence of a sound that partially or completely masks the perception of another sound. Using sculpture, graphical notation and a play between electronic and acoustic sound, Puncture Tones explores the concept of the mask as a reflective surface for subjectivity.

Leadbeater. 1901). light of the tulpa is a stroboscopic inquiry into the visual and sonic invocations of the book's printed color fields.
