Seon-ah Jo is a performer and creator who has mastered the art passed down on the Korean Peninsula through the gayageum. She utilizes movements found in gayageum playing techniques as creative material. Here, the performing body functions as a kind of alternative space through which sound passes or is contained. Employing field recording as an ecological methodology for her musical work, she perceives the universe as one vast open source, questioning what vibrations it produces and what contributions it makes.

Selected for the 2025 Jeonju World Sound Festival ‘Sound Frontier’, she released the digital EP [eco-echo] in 2023. Since 2017, she has been active as a creator and performer in the collaborative collective Yeonhui Collective Gang.

Major works include 《Wind, Flow, Body-Momentary Stillness》 (Nodul Island, 2025), 《La plante dansante de désastres》 (Dalyongyeong Ujeongguk, 2024), 《carved flag》 (Web, 2022), 《sing-mul》 (Sinchon Culture Development Center, 2022), 《Flying Squirrel Haven》 (Outdoor Guerrilla, 2019), and 《How to Play the Traditional Gayageum (project.gaeng)》 (Art On Gong, 2019). She also composed the music for the silent film <The Identity of the Monster>.

Key collaborative works include Kim Ye-ji’s <Ear duct, us>, Park Min-hee’s <Wind Blows from the Mountain where Spirits Gathered>, Lim Eun-jung’s <Lump of Rice>, and Kim Min-ji’s <To Luca>.
