Jin Hi Kim's Ghost Komungobot (2015)

This is an excerpt from Kim’s 60 minute interdisciplinary, live interactive performance of electric komungo and komungobot (algorithmic virtual robotic instrument) with visual media. The mystic bird of ancient komungo is expressed as a ghost expressed by the virtual komungobot. Jin Hi Kim uses the digital signal processing of her electric komungo with added computer listening and gesture recognition that is applied to a real-time MAX/MSP program with live projection, while the komungobot interacts with electric komungo. Co-produced by CultureHub and Harvestworks; Premiered at La MaMa, NYC with Jin Hi Kim (Composer, Performer, Concept), Benton C Bainbridge (visual media), and Alex Noyes (interactive sound design).
