about
Sangwon Lee’s haunting electronic compositions explore the timbral depth of everyday sounds. Rollyphony was constructed from recordings of rolling coins, marbles, and bottle caps - bent and manipulated to create an expressive language akin to the works of modernist composers Helmut Lachenmann and Chaya Czernowin. The resulting piece presents a unique brand of polyphony, a multi-layered sound that transforms simple sources into densely woven textures.
