The main material of this project is River water from Anseong (Korea), Weimar (Germany)_ two cities where I currently live. River of the two cities become a single droplet, an unbounded transperipheral state because of the physical property of water, 1+1=1. The movement of the microorganisms in the waterdrop is converted into sound data through Max/Msp Patch and create sound according to a designed music notation in real time. This project proposes a new aesthetic and auditory experience, and the expansion of world perception.  This is also a metaphor for t my physical and mental state after living abroad for a long time away from hometown _especially during the pandemic, unable to visit home for two and a half years.

== Music Notation ==
Music notation consists of a total of 27 numbers and 27 horizontal lines. The number refers to the MIDI number on MaxPatch. Among  the 27 lines, 15 lines are displayed as 3 music sheet and solid lines. 12 lines exist in an invisible form between the music sheets. As the line goes from bottom to top, the higher the number, the higher the pitch of the note. The three music sheet does not function as a timeline like a usual music sheet. It only functions to distinguish the pitch of a note. The bottom sheet represents the first octave, and the top staff represents the third octave. All notes are played simultaneously the moment the microbe crosses the line.
