Doppelgänger is a series of research projects that explores the human condition in a futuristic dystopia where machinery analysis and prediction of our mind become possible, data monetization becomes uncontrollable, and the discrepancy between machines and humans become blurred. It is a series of creative experiments and critical inquiries into various compositional systems and social-political issues. Earlier doppelgänger variations explored and examined the processes of extracting, analyzing, and reflecting between the amalgamation of humans and machines, digital, physical, and spiritual doppelgängers. In the last variation, In this 5th doppelgänger variation, as part of my final project, I focused on exploring the new potential of intermedia composition in VR primarily by experimenting with the following concepts: 1. composition strategy and music layering in 3D space - exploring constructed listening experience in a fully interactive and self-exploratory 3D environment. 2. interactive timeline and sequencing. It’s similar to some of the open-form composition or graphic scores in which composers first define a set of rules and leave the actual realization open for the interpreters. But in this VR experiment, most of the musical and sonic events has been pre-defined, only the sequence and spatial perception are variable.
