This project is a practical exploration of Korean sound through contemporary media, moving beyond the Western staff notation system. Based on Shamanic Gut, it reinterprets the brass bell (muryeong) and white fringe as active interfaces that generate and process sound. Arduino sensors detect the performer's hand movements, triggering independent rotation of overhead servo motors. This motion is transmitted to strands of bells, causing physical collisions that produce randomized rhythmic sounds.
