I am a 1st year Ph.D. student at Princeton's Graduate Composition Program. I was born in Vienna, Austria and grew up here and there including Bonn, Kuala Lumpur, Kinshasa, Seoul and Athens. My undergraduate degree is in Electronic Engineering (Korea University, 1994) and master's degree is in Electro Acoustic Music (Dartmouth College, 2000).
Between 1988 and 2000 I have been involved in numerous recording, performance and compositional projects. The following musical projects are on CD: Kang-Byun Gayo Jae (1992), Shi-Shil Lee (1992), Cho Yong Kwan (1993), Page 2 Project (1998), "Net" (1998), "Omoni - CDCM".
I have worked at the LG Corporate Institute of Technology from 1994 to 1998. At LGCIT or formerly known as Gold Star Central Research Lab I worked at the High Media Laboratory concentrating on digital musical keyboard development. At LGCIT's Information Technology group my research focused on voice coding algorithms for the European GSM mobile communication technology. At Dartmouth's Graduate Electro Acoustic Music Program my research and studies were in computer/electro acoustic music which cumulated to a thesis in "Feature Extraction of Musical Signals". I had (still enjoying) the good fortune of working with Jon Appleton, Charles Dodge, Larry Polansky and Charlie Sullivan at Dartmouth. Compositions have been played at various conferences and "festivals" including SEAMUS 2000, CEAIT 2000 and SICMF 2000. I am currently inolved in electro-acoustic, computer music and pertinent technical and musical issues at Princeton's Ph.D. Program in Composition.
