The Prayer

Mi-Jong Jang

DXARTS 463 Project Proposal 
 

I want my sound piece to be an expressive piece that bears the human hope, desires, pains and struggles. 
 
"The cries of the weak/the victimized voices" are directly related to people's desires, frustration, anger, depression, hope, agonies, traumas, joy, labors, desperation, etc. --the prayer is the concentrated action, which is intensely full of every human emotions and conditions that are unseen but condensed within the prayer. 
 
It will be the piece that represents the prayers of people that contains every moment of men's lives. 

I want to have the as an ambisonic sound piece to represent different kinds of lifestyles/cultures/emotions/ideologies/beliefs.

Because the audience as well as I myself is immersed within the portrayed world, and because the piece is a portrait of the movements/systems/ideologies of the world; human emotions and lives, I want this sound piece to be immersed in a given space. Thus, the representation of the piece as whole will be important for the audience' experience. I want my piece to be placed in a space that represents everyday living. 

Plan 

-Week 4 :: 4/22 - 4/27

-Week 5 - Week 9 :: May

: refine the piece

: collect the sound samples as needed

-I want the piece to be as casual as possible (as if it is not in the gallery space)

*because the piece is a portrait of the movements/systems/ideologies of the world; human emotions and lives, I want it to be immersed in a given space (because the audience as well as I myself are immersed within the portrayed world.)
