Product Details


Product Description

Hyang refers the incense that is particularly used in the house of mourning in Korean culture. When one goes to offer ones condolences to the family in mourning, the first thing you can sense (smell) is the incense, Hyang. Personally, this reminisces my grandfathers death when I was young. The sunk atmosphere, gloomy faces, soft whispers, occasional agitations, sobs, angry cries, and a complete silence...: these are the images that occupied the six year-old girls mind who did not understand the meaning and grief of the death at that time.

Focusing on the sound color, the piece expresses the images that I captured from the mourning house through the various timbre create by different gestures with different instruments. Consequently, three senses are conceptually represented in this music: aural(sound), visual(color), and olfactory(incense).
