PARKED

SCORE & SOUND DESIGN

회귀 REGRESSION

SCORE

Film by Herry Kim.
“ In Regression, I explore the sense of detachment and confusion caused and accelerated by pattern recognition/pattern generation technology. It is a surreal and speculative science fiction that reveals colliding emotions through a metaphorical social structure.”

SOUND DESIGN (REDUB)

An exercise in sound effects, foley, and backgroud sound, this project is presented without any aspect of the original sound. Each sound was manipulated or recorded specifically for this clip.

空虚的心情

SCORE & SOUND DESIGN

Empty Mood is a collaboration with Shuwen Zhao. Its name refers to a blank, open mindset in which an unknowable feeling or mood can be experienced.

THREE SOUNDS

& AN IMAGE

SOUND DESIGN

A still image with three different sound worlds each lasting for a minute:
The first is currated ambience & background sounds
The second minute contains gentle music
The third concludes with a voice over.

WORLDBUILDING

SCORE & SOUND DESIGN

Making your way up a path, you notice the desolate surroundings which prepare your focus and mind by melting away the anxiety of normal life. Stumbling upon a cave, you feel an urge—a call, even—to enter.

A MEDITATION ON ORANGE

SCORE & SOUND DESIGN

The rising sun, the succulence of a cantaloupe, or the glow of molten lava and igneous rock. Orange is a mixture of red and yellow—it extends into the realm of gold and blood.

BIOLOGICAL INTERNAL FEEDBACK

SCORE & SOUND DESIGN

Inspiration is unique to each individual and mine resides in the natural world. This video is a blending of the environment which surrounds me, and the creative expression that it gets transmuted into. A conversation between analog textures and physical reality, the video and the audio highlight their similarities.

TINY MOON SOUNDS

LIVE SOUND DESIGN

While creating portion of the soundtrack for Moon Wang’s animationed short film, Ride. Ưsing percussion sounds from my sound library, I wanted to create small sounds that created a satisfying, ASMR-like soundscape.

RECORDINGS

SELECT WORKS

For a full selection of recorded work, please vist this link. These pieces were all created 2020–21 and explore more experiemntal techniques and textural sounds. Most of the environments exist in a world between sound design and composed music creating its own style of narrative.

This is a collaboration with María Bulla and Adam Zuckerman where we each recorded for one minute over the course of a month. The image above is a Max patch designed to randomly play one second from each one.
