Play-in Instrument

We all have unique personalities, and these personalities are reflected in how we compose, inhabit, and treat our personal spaces. This project invites audiences to reconsider their perception of space and reflect on their own environments. By engaging with the instrument, participants become aware that space and time are not fixed conditions but elements they can actively manipulate and control. The act of making music is inherently physical and practical. Regardless of the type of instrument, musical expression is shaped by two fundamental parameters: pitch and intensity. While each instrument produces its own distinctive tone, these core controls remain universal. In this work, the instrument takes the form of a room. Its scale is determined by the spatial configuration, and the arrangement of objects within the space defines the tonal qualities of the sound. Pitch is generated through the distance between the participant and surrounding objects, making spatial relationships directly audible. As a result, moving through the room becomes equivalent to playing an instrument—where walking, positioning, and proximity transform everyday spatial actions into musical performance.
