Material Frequencies is a live audio-visual performance by jewellery artist Gina Melosi and multimedia artist Ossagrosse, featuring cello recordings by Gianna McDonald.

The work explores the shared language between sound, touch, and transformation. Jewellery-making tools, tape loops, and recorded cello fragments become material for live improvisation, where friction, polishing, and degradation are treated as acts of care as much as erasure.

Orchestral cello recordings are transferred onto multiple cassette tapes and gradually reshaped through physical contact with metal tools and analogue devices. Sound is stretched, distorted, and worn down in real time, shifting between resonance, noise, and silence. Melosi and Ossagrosse perform together, combining analogue manipulation and digital processing to unfold an evolving sonic and visual composition.
