Panphony: Circular Movement

Panphony: Circular Movement is an audiovisual work that seeks to turn "listening together" into a collective and spatial experience by building a space for sound. Meaning "a space for all sounds," Panphony constructs and sets sounds adrift between the virtual and the physical, creating a state in which sound and space define each other.
The space runs on circular movement. As the performer reads sounds in a circle to form a repeating rhythm and walks slowly around it to carry the sounds through the space, this cycle becomes a way for self and others to fall briefly into sync. Not mere repetition but a flow that carries gradual change, it is at once a return and something new, reconnecting past and present, self and others.
The virtual sound structures built up through live performance are placed as architectural elements that play sound, forming an architectural score of sound. Field recordings played through a circular speaker, Domus, include sounds the artist collected in Korea, Taiwan, and elsewhere, along with sounds from everyday life that the artist invited others to share. These sounds wander through the space between audience members, layering the times and landscapes of many places.
Each audience member encounters different sounds from their own position, yet all share the same flow. As the wandering sounds pass between individuals and reveal each other's presence, listening moves beyond private experience and becomes a shared moment.
