cyclo. is a project by Carsten Nicolai and Ryoji Ikeda since 1999. cyclo. examines error structures and repetitive loops in software and computer programmed music, with audiovisual modules for realtime sound visualization forming one of the key strategies in this examination.

The project orientates itself around the discipline of Phase Correlation. Within this process, the phase relationship between two inputted audio signals are metered. This metering device was developed for the monitoring and assistance of vinyl mastering, where precise parallel correlations of phases was essential for subsequent record pressing quality.
