Monster Voice: Split Tongue 괴물소리: 갈라진 혀

The pain of a hurting woman is difficult to convey to others. Instead of language, the content of pain has been vocalized through whimpers, cries, screams, or silence.

"Monster Voice: Split Tongue" is a live recitation of a spoken language dedicated to female pain, one that may become a new method of communication for women who hurt.

Trajectory 궤와 호 for two percussionists and electronics

People live their lives on their own trajectories. Different trajectories of variant directions, with other ways of movement and different shapes of trails left behind, overlap and intersect to form a connection.

This piece focuses on the centrality of 'hitting' and 'tapping' in percussion performance. It captures the change of timbre when the instruments, the object of the 'tapping,' change. 'Trajectory' also focuses on the experiment of the sound changing by the movement of the two performers.

Recursion 재귀 for piano and live electronics

Sound disappears over time.
Time is a series of faded sounds.

When sensing, time does not move by exact intervals nor flows in one direction. Inside the mind, the same length of time could become a fleeting moment or an eternity. Under the name of memory and intuition, past and future pass through.

Perforate 천공 for tape

A closed surface is a finite surface without boundaries that completely encloses a portion of space. A hole must first be drilled to create a boundary on a closed surface. Moving from one space to another is impossible without perforating the closed surface, as it separates the inside from the outside.
