LANGUAGE TRIGGER
Language Trigger is a custom-built device designed in the form of a world globe, created specifically for live
performance. It enables the artist to control, trigger, and manipulate an immense variety of world languages in real
time, turning geography into a performative instrument.
The device maps voice contributions — both those collected in the days leading up to the performance and those
arriving live from around the world — directly onto their respective countries on the globe. By interacting with it, the
performer can activate these voices, weaving them into a dynamic, evolving sonic composition.
The result is a layered and immersive soundscape: a polyphony of languages that transcend borders, where
cultural diversity becomes musical material. Each gesture on the globe resonates as a dialogue between
continents, communities, and individuals, emphasizing both the differences and the interconnectedness of human
expression.
More than a technical interface, Language Trigger is an artistic and symbolic instrument. It transforms the physical
globe into a living archive of voices — a performative map where sound and geography converge, creating a
shared acoustic territory that bridges cultures through the universal medium of sound
EMF Terminal
EMF Terminal, developed by Extrasync, is an innovative device designed to make electromagnetic waves audible:
signals from mobile phones, Wi-Fi, routers, electronic devices, and all forms of electrosmog.
We live immersed in an invisible ocean of electromagnetic radiation. Normally, we cannot directly perceive it, yet it
shapes the environment around us.
With EMF Terminal, these waves become a sonic experience: a new way to perceive and understand the electronic
landscape that surrounds us.
Developed
with
research
and
creativity
by
Extrasync,
EMF
Terminal
transforms
technical
signals
into
a
unique
listening
experience. It is not only a tool for exploration but also a means to raise awareness of the hidden infrastructures that
define our daily lives.
With EMF Terminal, the invisible becomes audible. It is a bridge between technology, perception, and awareness.
Not just a technical device, but an invitation to listen to the hidden world of frequencies — opening new possibilities
for sound art, scientific exploration, and personal reflection.
EMF Terminal was specially developed for the workshop City Detection and is available for purchase through the
Extrasync shop
EXTRA CAMSERVER
CAMSERVER is a software for managing streams from webcams.
CAMSERVER
was
developed
because
we
needed
to
use
video
streams
from
webcams
all
over
the
world
in
live
performances, and manage audio and video independently.
CAMSERVER
is
a
kind
of
audio-video
director
that
allows
alternating
audio-video
sources
to
be
redirected
to
other
software to be processed in real time.
CAMSERVER was developed in C++ using VLCLib and can be controlled via OSC.
CAMSERVER had been used for:

EXTRAsensitive | PHOTOSENSITIVE DEVICE for WHITE BALANCE
EXTRAsensitive is a photosensitive device that transforms light into sound.
Using
optical
sensors,
it
captures
variations
in
light
intensity
and
translates
them
into
sonic
signals,
creating
a
direct and immediate interaction between the visual environment and the acoustic landscape.
Light,
like
sound,
is
vibration.
With
LightSound
Terminal,
it
becomes
possible
to
listen
to
light
variations,
revealing
hidden
rhythms,
pulses,
and
textures
that
usually
escape
perception.
It
opens
a
new
perspective
where
illumination
is not only seen, but also heard, transforming environments into living, audible spaces.
Developed
specifically
for
Schnitt’s
performance
White
Balance,
the
device
functions
as
both
an
artistic
and
technological
instrument:
a
medium
that
expands
sensory
boundaries
and
invites
audiences
to
experience
synesthesia — the fusion of sight and hearing into a single, immersive perception.
With EXTRAsensitive, light becomes sonic matter.
Not
just
a
technological
device,
but
a
poetic
bridge
between
two
sensory
worlds:
seeing
sound,
listening
to
light,
and discovering new connections between nature, technology, and human perception.
EXTRASCAN
EXTRASCAN is a suite of softwares we developed for , SCANAUDIENCE and INNER VOICES
The
operating
principle
of
EXTRASCAN
is
based
on
the
projection
of
a
sequence
of
moving
horizontal
and
vertical
lines across the subject.
The
light
scan
lines
act
like
those
of
a
normal
document
scanner,
reading
the
characteristics
of
each
individual
viewer,
such
as
colour,
size,
shape.
Four
digital
cameras
designed
by
us
capture
the
movement
of
the
lines
and
send the scan data to the computers on stage.
With
our
softwares
this
data
is
transformed
into
sounds
and
images,
using
algorithms
that
we
can
control
and
modify during the performance.
It
was
initially
developed
in
C++
and
OpenGL
as
a
set
of
software
distributed
over
5
computers
communicating
via
an Ethernet network, to optimise the data processing load and enable fast real-time interactivity.
In
version
2.0,
the
softwares
run
as
separate
applications
on
a
single,
high-performance
computer
and
use
a
Shared Memory technique instead of network UDP Sockets.
The suite consists of:
|
SCAN
DIRECTOR
|
is
the
software
that
enables
the
scheduling
of
performance
phases
on
a
timeline,
collecting
data from the cameras, and coordinating the other software.
|
SCAN
ANALYZER
|
is
the
software
that
analyses
the
data
from
the
cameras
and,
using
computer
vision
algorithms and others developed by us, generates input for the graphics engine and other audio software.
|
SCAN
GRAPHICS
|
is
the
performance
graphics
engine,
which
graphically
reinterprets
the
data
generated
by
the
ANALYZER according to visual generative algorithms that can be modulated in real time.
| SCAN LINE | is the graphic engine that generates the scan lines.
|
SCAN
AUDIO
|
is
the
audio
engine
that
interprets
the
data
generated
by
the
ANALYZER
as
audio
and

also
be
interfaced with third-party software.
