fold/interval Explores Acoustic and Electronic Space

Giuseppe Ielasi and Fabio Perletta build eight untitled pieces from sparse guitar dyads and granular electronics, with Giulia Bruno’s photographs adding a parallel visual rhythm.

Across eight untitled pieces, fold/interval develops a language from deliberately limited materials. Giuseppe Ielasi’s guitar is reduced to two-note dyads, while Fabio Perletta’s electronics move through granular processing, filtered resonances, and microscopic digital artifacts. The title articulates the method: wavefolding, a process in which a signal folds back on itself to produce new harmonics, and interval, referring both to harmonic distance and to the time separating sonic events.

The exchange between Ielasi and Perletta never feels fixed. Repeated figures shift through small changes in density, frequency, and perspective, and silence functions as an active compositional element rather than a pause. Attention moves away from isolated sounds toward the relationships between them, where overtone fluctuations, delicate feedback, and near-imperceptible transients continually reshape the surrounding acoustic field.

Giulia Bruno’s photographs of landscapes, architectural structures, and technological infrastructure extend this logic into the visual register. They share the music’s interest in hidden systems and suspended attention, asking for prolonged observation rather than immediate recognition. The result is less a conventional set of tracks than a focused study of how acoustic and electronic sound can reshape itself through proportion and restraint.
