MUSIC COMPOSITION
[VR Concert Projects]
Original music composition for immersive storytelling experiences that blend emotion, narrative, and technology. Collaborations with AmazeVR include interactive VR concerts and narrative-driven projects where music guides the emotional arc of the story and enhances audience immersion. The scores range from intimate, dreamlike soundscapes to dark, synth-driven textures, capturing the emotional spectrum of love, memory, and fantasy. By combining music with interactive storytelling and emerging technology, these projects explore new possibilities for VR concerts as an evolving artistic medium.
[Film Scoring Projects]
Film scoring is the most passionate and evolving part of the creative work, exploring emotional storytelling through music across documentaries, animation, experimental films, and advertisements. The work blends orchestral writing, electronic textures, ambient soundscapes, and custom sound design to create immersive emotional worlds that closely follow each story’s atmosphere and character.
Projects include mixed media films about Alzheimer’s and caretaker burnout, stop-motion experimental animation, orchestral scores for animated films, and cross-cultural documentary work featuring traditional Korean instruments recorded remotely with musicians in Korea and the United States.
The work is continuing to evolve toward integrating field recordings and self-designed sounds, blurring the line between music and sound design.
