In a drop of water, members of the microscopic world_microorganisms, moss, corpses, air bubbles and many other beings_ play music. A programmed Max patch tracks through a microscope the beings of the microscopic world invisible to the human eye . When microscopic beings cross the music sheet, the corresponding scale is played in real time.

The title of this concert is homesick. The water drops used in the project are the combined rivers of two cities: Anseong, Korea, the my hometown, and Weimar, Germany, where I currently reside. This concert metaphorically expresses the physical and mental state of the artist, who has been away from home for a long time and has been living abroad_especially during the pandemic, unable to visit home for two and a half years.

The movement of the microbes in the water creates a sound according to the musical notation. Music notation consists of a total of 27 horizontal lines (27 y-axis numbers). Each line represents 27 different scales. The pitch of the note increases from bottom to top. The aesthetic aspect of music notation is still in the process of development.  (Fig. 2)
