Experimental project:
audio illustration to my artist book "Un Segno Nello Spazio" based on a short story by Italo Calvino "A sign in a Space".
QFWFQ is an abstract mind, a thought without a body, a memory of a continuous transformation. The only key to imagine it is the sign he(she? it?) decides to leave somewhere in Space, the sign which will correspond to the essence of its creator and which will represent it. 
If the name is the only thing we know, I decided to convert "QFWFQ" words to speech using speech generative software Praat.
After extracting the spectrogram of the generated recording I converted it to sound again using Virtual Ans software, and then distorted it drawing on the spectrogram creating different alterations and interferences. Finally, it was overlapped again with the speech.

For the best listening experience with a circular spectrogram visualizing follow the link:

Without this freeware software I could never manage to bring this project to reality!
