A sine wave with exponential amplitude decay is probably one of the most artificial sounds that can be created. Using this sound as the main source limits many possibilities that can be explored within the electroacoustic music genre, but it also provides a unique transparency in the perception of pitch, contour, and space. The mission of this composition was to develop a pitch language within this environment, and then translate the idea into a timbral realm. Joo Won Park (b.1980) wants to make everyday sound beautiful and strange so that everyday becomes beautiful and strange. He performs live with toys, kitchenware, vegetables, umbrellas, and other non-musical objects by digitally processing their sounds. Joo Won’s music and writings are available on ICMC DVD, Spectrum Press, MIT Press, and PARMA recording.
