Humming (The Study of Sound) - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Suk-Jun Kim is Lecturer in Electroacoustic Music and Sound Art and Programme Director of MMus in Sonic Arts at the University of Aberdeen, UK. As a composer and sound artist, Suk-Jun Kim has been exploring the sense of place through his composition and sound installation. His recent publication, Hasla (2011), documents his work based on a short story, Tails, which he has written, as well as writings by three renowned theorists and composers (Denis Smalley, Folkmar Hein, and Julia H. Schröder). Kim's research interest includes imaginal listening, phenomenological approaches to listening and composing, new approaches to sound and place, and slowness and boredom as artistic processes, the last of which has led him to conduct extremely slow soundwalks on high streets in Scotland. Kim's work has been awarded first prizes at Bourges Electroacoustic Music Competition, Metamorphoses in Belgium, and CIMESP. He was a resident composer fellow at the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Programme in 2009.
