Portfolio 2 – Background and Theme
In the contemporary landscape of sound art, cross-sensory research, affect theory, environmental humanities, and immersive installation practices increasingly intersect, offering artists new modes of expression. Against this evolving backdrop, Synesthetic Weather emerges from one central inquiry: What if emotions were no longer treated as internal psychological events, but externalized as spatial, navigable environmental phenomena? It is precisely this…

Portfolio 1 – Structural Mapping
After completing the literature review and analysing the reference works, I began transforming the theoretical framework into an executable creative plan. Throughout this process, I adhered to three principles: correspondence between mechanism and material, control over sonic elements, and the representation of cross-cultural diversity. Structurally, I assigned each of the eight movements to one of the eight BRECVEMA…

Portfolio 1 – Artistic References and Inspirations
During the research phase of this project, I drew extensively from sound artists of diverse backgrounds, including Varèse, Lucier, Takemitsu, Lockwood, Ikeda, and Ferrari. Each of these artists contributed concrete inspiration to the eight movements of the work, providing a clear bridge between theoretical concepts and practical artistic application. To begin with, the noise and…

Portfolio 1 – Literature Reflections and Research: Soundscape, Culture, and Space
In the second phase of literature research for this project, I focused primarily on the works of sound-culture scholars such as Schafer, Feld, Stoever, and LaBelle. These texts provide interdisciplinary perspectives on how sound is perceived through cultural, spatial, political, racial, and technological lenses. Their insights have proven especially important for developing the “Visual Imagery,”…

Portfolio 1 – Literature Reflections and Research: Emotional Mechanisms and Sound
During the theoretical preparation for BRECVEMA-informed Suite, the most central group of readings came from the field of music psychology. Among them, the study by Juslin and Västfjäll (2008) had a particularly significant impact on the conceptual foundation of this project. In their paper, they argue that emotional responses to music are not produced through a…

Portfolio 1 – Background and Theme
In today’s landscape of sound art and cross-media creation, the relationship between emotion and perception has increasingly become a central concern for both artists and scholars. The driving force behind my work BRECVEMA-informed Suite stems from a desire to integrate research in music psychology with contemporary sound art practice. Through years of study and experimentation, I have…

Creative Reflection
We did a lot of research and literature reading before we went into practice. One of my biggest regrets is that I was not able to follow what some of the scholars I read said, that not only do the performer do the improvisation, but the orchestra has to improvise with the performer as well.…

Background Music Score for the Performance
Since the performance is an improvised opera, I wrote this piece in a traditional orchestra-like style for the performer to listen and improvise on. There are electronic instruments like Organ, Brass, Cello, Harp, Flute, and also some Choir in it, as the background for the opera lead performance.

Textual Elaboration and Description
NEW SUITS NEW SUITS is a conceptual performance and design project that critically examines the intricate relationship between consumers and commodities through the lens of modern “consumption.” At its core, the project aims to unveil the metaphorical “empty suit” of the commodity economy—a suit polished and mass-produced to satisfy insatiable vanity, yet hollow in essence. In…
