Digital Rain (2024)
for 8 channel fixed media
The sound of rain can give us a sense of security but also evoke the fear of death. Rain is a symbol of life that preserves organics and symbolizes purification, as seen in natural disasters such as floods. Rain is the sound of life and death, containing a deep meaning that stimulates our spiritual imagination.
This piece has a wide range of textures similar to rain sounds generated from the sound of flowing water recorded in a lake. The granulator transforms flowing sound into fragmented particles, and the size of the particles makes a different sense of the acoustic landscape of the rain. Although it is not the actual sound of rain, the textures are abstract objects that convey symbolic images of rain. These sounds describe the life, death, and purification that rain can bring to our minds.
