Sinetology is a project that delves into the exploration of sine waves as foundational sound materials, using them as layers that interact dynamically within a composition. By manipulating their levels, frequency ranges, and durations, the project develops a coherent musical idea centered around beating patterns and beat frequencies. The visuals accompanying the performance are synchronously controlled by the sound, creating a unified audiovisual experience.
The project premiered during " 8:08pm La hora del LIVECODER ," a series of live coding performances streamed by the TOPLAP Barcelona collective during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in 2020.
In April 2023, Sinetology was performed live by Maia Francisco at viu.multichannelExpansion(); during the ‘5th edition of /*viu*/ livecoding festival in Barcelona. This event showcased experimental audio-spatialization works using an 8-channel sound system. The festival highlighted innovative performances by artists including Allholy, Iván Paz, Alicia Champlin & Niklas Reppel, Pondskater, Noi$, and Maia Francisco herself. The term "multichannel expansion" refers to a SuperCollider function that enables the distribution of sound signals across multiple channels, forming the basis for the festival’s immersive audio setups.

TOPLAP Barcelona, an association of scientists and artists, fosters collaboration at the intersection of technology, science, and digital arts. Dedicated to live coding, the collective emphasizes real-time creation of music and visuals through interactive programming. In this form of performance, live coders write, modify, and execute source code on the spot, with the process projected for the audience to witness. This approach combines improvisation and formalization, offering a novel direction in electronic music and digital art.

TOPLAP describes live coding as:
“A form of scenic art and a creativity technique focused on real-time writing of source code and the use of interactive programming. It is a new direction in electronic music, improvising and formalizing in public. The live coders expose and modify in real time the software generating music and/or images, while the manipulation of the code is projected to allow viewing the process.”
