The system mainly deals with machine-listening, complex audio/control signal routing, high level data mapping, and various wave shaping techniques using computer. Instead of aligning and layering musical "events" on linear fashion or repetition process (Reich), or based on arbitrary random process (Cage), Jae Ho Youn is working on "cause and effect" mechanism to implement on compositional practice. He is especially inspired by Buddhist notion of causality (pratityasamutpada): everything arises in dependence upon multiple causes and conditions; nothing exists as a singular, independent entity.
Such system, at least the first version has been developed using computer programming & DSP technique, allowing Jae Ho Youn to write various "units" that generates events depending on its parameters actively communicating with other units. Everything modifies everything in such environment, and as the complexity grows, the result would be highly unpredictable.
He's expecting to develop the whole environment further enough that it becomes "self-sustainable".
"Against All That Was" is the title of the event, given by the composer himself, trying to reject everything, including and especially his own past compositional practice, which was based on aesthetic/stylistic decisions, worked in a way of "making parts then assemble them"...

The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
