Login is an imaginary journey through the web, where one can explore new realities - or different views of well known stuff - on a thin line between truth and fiction. For this sound project I've used only a modular virtual synth: the swedish Nord Modular G2 (Clavia), in its free software version. With regard to the hardware version, it's monophonic and missing some modules: FM operators, Internal CC MIDI generator, Vocoder and inputs for external signal processing. With some creativity you can experiment with unlimited combinations to obtain a huge variety of different sounds. Fausto Balbo

This track incorporates DPOAE (Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions). Otoacoustic Emissions are spontaneous emissions inside the human ear; they are routinely utilized in hearing tests, through stimulus such as DPOAE. Those with normal hearing, upon listening to these two tracks, should experience a sensation similar to a "buzzing", as though there was a mosquito inside their head - although less annoying and certainly not dangerous in any way. For optimal listening, a room with little background noise and a layout as indicated in the diagram on the left is advised, without the use of headphones of any kind. Turning your head during playback, you can also experience a sensation of sound modulation. Fausto Balbo
