Over the course of a year, I have been doing a lot of experiments in sound, focusing on noise and distortion. Studying how to present individuality or identity through noise itself. My final project is about the relationship between individuals and society. I focus on each individual’s idea. In order to talk about individuality, I believe that the relationship with society needs to be considered. Individuals find their true selves within the context of social relationship and cultural norms(according to George Herbert Mead). Society is formed as one social organism by various unities with different functions similar to the human body. A society is made up of all the different individuals with their different identities. 

My final piece is influenced by an orchestra. I think the orchestra can imply a system similar to a society and individuals. All different musical instruments make up an orchestra. Even though all musicians play different instruments according to different musical scores, and different sounds and tones, this makes a harmony. Likewise, individuals with different individualities or  identities compose a society.
