At(tune)ment

코감응 — at(tune)ment is an experimental olfactory improvisation workshop that explores creating sound in response to smell.

Participants encounter a scent and express the memories, feelings, and bodily responses that arise through a single note or a short musical phrase. Even the same scent may produce very different sounds depending on the distance between the scent and each person, their memories and emotions, and how they feel that day.

There are no predetermined answers in this workshop. Together, we observe and experiment with how a smell passes through different bodies, giving rise to different sounds and relationships.

Let’s Nose-Feel-Yes!
