TIMARA proudly welcomes Visiting Professor Joo Won Park to the faculty! Joo Won is an electroacoustic composer who wants to make everyday sound beautiful and strange so that everyday becomes beautiful and strange. He performs live with toys, consumer electronics, kitchenware, vegetables, and other non-musical objects by digitally processing their sounds. He also makes pieces with field recordings, sine waves, and any other sources that he can record or synthesize. Joo Won draws inspirations from Florida swamps, Philadelphia skyscrapers, his two sons, and other soundscapes surrounding him. He has studied at Berklee College of Music and the University of Florida and has taught at the University of Florida, Temple University, and Community College of Philadelphia. – GJ
