Metaphysics of Sound

About This Movie

So, this one, 'Metaphysics of Sound,' is pretty fascinating. Directed by Lee Hangjun, it’s not your typical music film—it's more experimental. The whole project, starting in 2006 and wrapping up in '07, really plays with the tactile nature of sound and visuals. The hand contact printing gives it a raw, almost organic feel. You’ve got this 35mm soundtrack image and then a hand-drawn soundtrack on 16mm. It's like watching a painter at work, but with sound. The pace is a bit languid, almost meditative, and it invites you to really sink into the atmosphere. The themes of perception and sound intertwining are intriguing, making it distinctive in a sea of more formulaic music films.
