DECODE.01 - Recomposed Beethoven Moonlight Sonata is a re-composition of all three movements of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.14 "Moonlight", reconstructed as a sequence of distinct neural states.
Rather than reproducing the emotional narrative of the original, this work extracts its internal mechanisms - time design, repetition, and overtone behavior - and reprograms them for a contemporary environment of constant stimulation.
In the first movement, overtones and urban pulses transform sound into an isolated body within a vast cityscape.
In the second movement, time is stretched toward near-stillness, where silence, tension, and lingering resonance dominate perception.
In the third movement, repetition accelerates toward a critical threshold, and music begins to function as a stimulus system rather than an expressive form.
Moonlight Sonata is no longer treated as a historical artifact, but as a present-tense perceptual experience - continuously unfolding within the listener's nervous system.

    Contemporary classical composer | Sound artist | Disklavier player | Neural hacking through sonic structure | Working on DECODE. Project. DECODE. is a series of re-compositional works that extract, disassemble, and reprogram the hidden logic embedded within great masterpieces of classical music. Each work functions as a neural interface-stimulating reward pathways, altering perceptual time, and restructuring bodily awareness. Through signal dissection and temporal refolding, Decode. seeks not to revive the past, but to rewire it.
