Outdoor Music Project

May, 2025 – present

“With the sky as my canopy and the earth as my bed, the mountains become my folding screen, and the rocks my walls”

天幕地爲席山屛石爲壁

– Hyesim (1178–1234) [transl. Uijin Oh]

Outdoor Music Project is an experimental public initiative based on the idea that any place where we listen can become a concert venue. We reflect on the sound a work should have, find a place where it can come alive, and perform or realize it there.

Each place holds its own sound: lawns, hills, apartment complexes, parks, under bridges, schoolyards, libraries, city centers, riverside benches, phone booths, parking lots, street pianos, bus stops, markets, abandoned basketball courts, forests, cafés, subway stations, secondhand bookstores, and more.

These places interact with the work in unpredictable ways, and the results open up new sensory possibilities.
