The works of the <Preset> series are in a cylindrical shape and respond to the manipulation of the viewer. The envelope of sound changes when you turn it and it also makes a sound when you touch it. The sound emerges when someone ‘first’ operates it while the sound is determined by someone’s manipulation, or a ‘preset.’
The sounds the audience 1 and the audience 2 hear for the first time are different from one another, so they have different impressions. Therefore, based on the number of cases, someone’s manipulating parameter in turn creates another case, and the manipulation of one visitor affects the next viewer and enlarges the scope of the work.

As an advanced formation, <Preset> interacts with a further intuitive envelope of the sound

Preset, 2017

Materials Woods, Aluminum, Acrylic sheet, LED, MCU, Computer, 2ch speaker
Exhibition MILLENNIAL, GALLERY IANG, 146 Daehak-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea (2017. 11. 29. ~ 2017. 12. 4.)

The first production , 2017 enables the sound alteration and rendition in similar ways to the subtractive synthesizer. By spinning four modules that are individually compartmentalized, a manipulation of attack, decay, sustain, and release becomes viable, and from the LED penetrating through the acrylic sheet, a comprehension of the intensity of each envelope is grasped. Simultaneously, through the aluminum ring as a capacitive touch sensor, touching enables the rendering of C3 to C5 within the C Major Scale.
