24 hrs is a sonic diary built from one ordinary day, December 10, 2016. Through a website, the work plays back the recording according to the listener’s current time, creating a temporal alignment between their present moment and my past day. In this way, the piece invites listeners to encounter daily life not as a fixed document, but as something reactivated through time, memory, and imagination.

The work began from an interest in the limitations and possibilities of diary-making. While written diaries often record emotions retrospectively, sound offers a different kind of immediacy. At the same time, sound remains indistinct: unlike images, it does not fully show a scene, but leaves space for listeners to interpret and reconstruct it through their own experiences. For me, this vagueness is close to the condition of memory itself: partial, suggestive, and always shaped by imagination.

To explore this quality, I recorded an entire day continuously using a hands-free microphone, without planning any special events. The work focuses on the ordinary flow of daily life, including interruptions and accidental gaps in the recording. Rather than treating these moments as errors, I understand them as part of the texture of lived experience. 24 hrs considers how sound can function as a diary at its most direct limit: not only recounting a day, but carrying its duration, rhythm, and incompleteness.

Sadly, the origianl website is no longer available (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ ) Maybe one day I will build a new one again.
