Frap Tools: Interaction, Free Will, and Modular Awareness with Isabella Forciniti

In this episode from Frap Tools, Italian sound artist and researcher Isabella Forciniti takes centre stage, delving into the crossroads of digital networking, environmental data, and modular synthesis. Frap Tools, renowned for their design-forward Eurorack modules, host a conversation that moves from Isabella’s rural Italian roots to her explorations of interaction and improvisation in electronic music. The discussion is a deep dive into how boundaries, silence, and tactile engagement shape her approach to modular performance. Along the way, Isabella unpacks her patching philosophy, the role of silence and effects, and the ongoing importance of visibility for women and non-binary artists
