Chun Heehyun is a composer and performer who transforms sound into music, crafting immersive and evolving soundscapes in which music assumes the narrative role traditionally occupied by sound effects. Her work invites audiences to experience sonic texture as an integral cinematic language rather than a supporting element. Drawing on modular synthesis, Eurorack systems, gayageum, haegeum, and janggu compositional structures, she creates richly layered auditory environments that develop organically within filmic and performative contexts.

Rooted in a Korean identity shaped by her upbringing in Korea and her musical training in the United States, Chun’s practice is grounded in interdisciplinary inquiry, experimental performance strategies, and a sustained commitment to expressing cultural identity through sound.

Chun Heehyun composes original soundtracks for film, live performance, and immersive installations, integrating modular, Eurorack, and electronic instrumentation to expand the boundaries of auditory experience. Through computer-based MIDI orchestration, she reimagines Western orchestral instruments to suggest the timbral qualities of traditional Korean instruments such as the gayageum, haegeum, and janggu, bridging cultural memory and contemporary sonic exploration.
