7′, Musical sonification

Contemporary artists introduce various works which express the city into music using personal inspiration. However, music made by improvisational inspiration is only a personal impression of the city. It cannot share the unique structure of the city by that. I experimented with music composition method based on objective city structure. And developed a method. I call it “musical sonification”. “musical sonification” is not just a city analysis, but a work that can share and enjoy the city. Walking alone on a Clear Night is a representative work using “musical sonification”. I look forward to enjoying the diverse structure and fashion of Seoul through my works.
