Program Note 

'Are you sure there is the only one Big Bang in the universe what we know? Maybe the Big Bang is happening constantly even at this moment, where you just do not know.'
This work is 4-channel fixed media. The Big Bang in water is another Big Bang from the Big Bang of the universe we know. This illustrates the Big Bang occurred in calm water, the small world. One water drop is main motive and appears in various way by using diverse techniques such as pitch shifting, changing EQ, reverse, and other effects. And these modified sounds come out from 4-channel speakers spatially. Considering its title, The Big Bang in water, audiences would surely expect huge sounds like explosions. But taking a relative viewpoint, not only the Big Bang of the universe we know, but also the small collision transpired by one drop of water could be considered the Big Bang as well. By default, there are no enormous sounds. Focusing the process of the Big Bang in water, it promises to be an enthralling and timely experience.
