Sound Chemistry Meets Science

Creating unique audio loops and soundscapes with hydroxides and corrosive chemistry.

Sound Chemistry Unveiled

Chull.io creates unique, looping soundscapes by translating chemical reactions—primarily between strong acids and bases with metallic and organic compounds—into audio signatures. The process involves:

Capturing Audio: High-fidelity hydrophones and contact microphones record the "sizzle" (high transients) of rapid chemical breakdown and the "rumbles" (low-end drones) of slower neutralization reactions.
Translating Elements: Rapid corrosive sounds are processed into sharp, percussive transients, while stable base/hydroxide reactions form the foundational, low-frequency basslines and sustained tones.
Crafting Soundscapes: The chemical audio is manipulated using custom modular synthesis patches, including spectral decomposition to find inherent rhythms, granular synthesis to create non-repeating textures, and convolution reverb based on impulse responses from chemically reactive liquid tanks, resulting in a perpetually evolving, organic-synthetic auditory experience.
