Shinkaigyo, which is translated into "deep sea fish", was written in fascination of the ocean. I was always intrigued, and at times terrified, by the sea, which is still largely untouched and deeply mysterious to humanity. 

  Shinkaigyo and its excerpts were used as the soundtrack for the short Korean film "Artists are Always Hungry" (예술가는 항상 배고프다, 2014). In the same year, it was selected for the 60x60 WaveFarm Mix International Open Call, broadcast on WaveFarm 90.7FM, distributed as part of the Wave Farm Dispatch Series, and featured in a series of live listening events. In 2019, Shinkaigyo was introduced by Ars Electronica FORUM WALLIS 2019 as “Highly Commended”.

  In 2025, during an artist residency at UNITAR CIFAL, the work was revised to include sounds from the waters surrounding Jeju-do - a special edition exhibited for only three days on the island of Jeju.

  Shinkaigyo is distributed by Elektramusic (DE).
