about

Korean people are lively and loquacious in all social situations… except when they travel in their high-speed trains (‘KTX’), where they strictly follow, to an unparalleled extent, their unwritten etiquette of silence. This generates a magnificent unintended sonic interplay between enveloping broad-band machine sounds and a surrounding voiceless collective human presence, both of them with their own intricacies and hidden details.

Created from non-transformed original recordings of interior environments of high-speed trains across Korea. Recorded in 2023. Edited and mastered at ‘Hundred Islands Studios’ (Rosclave enclave) in 2024.

Headphone listening highly recommended.

Thanks to Barbara Ellison, Jin Sangtae and Susannah Tantemsapya.
