On a hot summer day, three improvising musicians visited the DMZ in Cheorwon, a place that is either dark, humid, empty, foggy, under construction, black, filled with green light, old, irrelevant to all, heavy with sunlight, or where the landscape and rainfall become one mass. We roamed around bereft of any plan, instantly describing or conveying through simple data, and transcribing what they saw in improvised languages or sounds.

The two-days of wandering around and recording were edited and made into seven tracks. This project presents the space that has been read by three musicians, the texture of the space portrayed through their movement, the delayed or omitted time, and the particular time of the space, unveiled by noises that suddenly intervene or silently blend into.
