Conceived as an homage to Musique Concrète pioneer Pierre Schaeffer's Solfège de l'objet sonore, Dataphonics is a project that focuses on the relationship between the data of sound and the sound of data. The work deploys frequencies at the very edges of human hearing, sounds that, as Ryoji Ikeda explains, “the listener becomes aware of only upon their disappearance.”
