Ji Youn Kang
“machi-nory“
Saturday 12th September
5 Florence Street, Glasgow, G5
From 7pm
This performance unfolds as a live construction of an unstable sonic machine, built from circuits, metal plates, and electromagnetic feedback where sound emerges from shifting relationships between materials, performer, signal and space. Through acts of tinkering, the system reveals the hidden vitality of matter and its dynamic behaviours.
Ji Youn Kang is a Korean composer, performer, and sound artist based in The Hague. Much of her work is informed by the rites of Korean Shamanism, and many of her pieces are written for Wave Field Synthesis systems, exploring the relationship between musical and physical space. She is also active as a solo performer, exploring ways to combine three sound domains on stage: acoustic instruments, analogue and digital sound, using DIY analogue synthesizers and live processing on a laptop. She currently teaches at the Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire.
