Program Note

Shinkaigyo, which is translated into "deep sea fish", was written in fascination of the Mariana Trench in west Pacific Ocean; the deepest area of all seas in the world. I was always intrigued by the deep sea, which is still largely untouched and deeply mysterious to mankind.

This work has been used in "Nihonkai" (2014), installation by Ayaka Miyauchi, as well as its exerpts used as soundtrack in a short Korean film "Artists are Always Hungry" (예술가는 항상 배고프다, 2014). In the same year, it has been selected in 60x60 Wave Farm Mix International Open Call, and was broadcasted on Wave Farm 90.7FM, distributed as a Wave Farm Dispatch Series download, and featured in a series of live listening events. In 2019, Shinkaigyo was introduced by Ars Electronica FORUM WALLIS 2019 as  "Highly Commended".
