On the Incheon Peace Festival - Video & Music Works

I conducted visualization work to promote the <Incheon Peace Festival> from early to mid-September. There are two main things: one is #photos, and the other is #videos. The photos were used as poster photos and produced as the first edition of the work. Videos will be included from time to time, and this is one of them.

• #Hologram #Microcosm Pedal

• #BOSS DD-500 #Delay

• #Strandberg_Guitar

There is a Microcosm effector pedal made by a company called Hologram. It is a granular synthesizer and looper that uses the input audio signal as a source. I can use it with various instruments, but when I ordered it from overseas last year and tried it, it was very different from what I expected. This equipment is now out of my hands and being used by another musician.

The DD-500 implements the longest (?) delay tap among commercially available digital delay devices. I bought it thinking that I could try Frippertronics because I could set the delay time up to 10 seconds and connect two delay algorithms in series within the unit. Now I am using it for a completely different purpose.

Around the end of 2024 and the begin of 2025,

I was trying things like Frippertronics Soundscapes.

There are two important people who use the expression 'soundscape'.

(1) R. Murray Schafer's soundscape (singular) views the human inhabited world as an auditory ecosystem. He understood sound as something to be 'tuned' as part of the environment, emphasizing the ethics of listening.

(2) Robert Fripp's Soundscapes (plural) are worlds of sound created at every moment. In loops and real-time performance, sound exists not as a fixed environment but as a generative event. The singular form means 'the given whole', and the plural form means 'the endlessly generated process'.

Therefore, Schafer listens to the world, and Fripp creates the world.

Coincidentally, the things I tried in early summer seemed to match the intended atmosphere, so I uploaded them to this video. I think they found their rightful place.
