[sound art, dvd, performance]

'ilgob sorigori' is a cycle of seven sound poems combined with electro-acoustic sounds and a video projection. The music is based on onomatopoetic words, the basis of rhythms and timbre. The words are spoken in different languages, which encounter at different moments. This helps to form exciting rhythms and sounds. Consonant and syllables emanate from language, but they sound like instruments, often not clear to understand. The listener himself may decide which meaning he likes to give the sounds. This forms a world of sound, which transforms into pictorial music.
'sorigori' can be translated with sound loop, which joins over and over, more and more. One scene is followed by another, at the end the last scene returns to the theme of the first, slightly changed, though, in a variation with different character. It’s not about the return to the beginning, but about enhancements and change: a spiral and endless process.

'ilgob sorigori' means in Korean 'A Cycle with Seven Sound Poems'. In Korea there are many words whose origin lies in the sound of the action they describe, hence translating the heard sound into pronounceable sound. These words are an ideal source, to convert the feel described by the word into music. Ge-Suk Yeo has written poems with these words and has painted images for them. The images consist only of simple black and white lines and dots. While listening 'colour' is supplied through the spoken word, electroacoustic music and live sounds.
The poems are surreal fantasies – more concerned with the sound of the words than the content. Feelings and moods are addressed, while the boundaries between the moods are fluent. Even though the meaning of the words is not understood, their sound is yet a delightful experience. The aim is to discover many colours and senses, to visually and aurally stimulate the imagination.

'ilgob sorigori' is the result of an intense sound work with digital sampling as well as with Flash programming and video art. Nevertheless, its focus is not based on technique, but on the amazing forms of expression these technique opens. ilgob sorigori can be considered as a surrealistic radio drama or minimalistic opera with slowly moving visuals based on sound calligraphies (original painted with brush and ink).
